Default Good Clutch and Fly wheel?

What does everyone recommend I get? Should I just stick with Nismo?

Stick with Nismo. JWT its just an upgraded version of your stock clutch. Not worth it IMO. Get the JWT flywheel to go along with the Nismo clutch. They work great together.

Depends what you are looking for. You can get the Tilton 8lb flywheel if you are really performance oriented but then again it's a bittch to drive with a flywheel like that.

JWT, ACT, JUN are some options.

NISMO is different than stock actually - beefier pressure plate, completely different disk

What is/are your mods and plans?

I'm don't plan to do anything special to the engine. I just want to replace my clutch and flywheel since Nissan is giving me a new transmission b/c of the 2nd gear grind. Do I need to replace my clutch since I have 50k miles?

go for the Carbonetics clutches. The twin disc setup is pretty nice.

Twin disk cluthces are overkill unless you are going F/I. I've heard good things about the Clutchmasters FX300/ Fidanza combo. Also RPS Max is worth looking in to.

the NISMO setup works well IMHO, I also am a big fan of the ACT setup.

Clutchmasters also does some nice clutches that are affordable.

Yeah, you swayed my decision when it came to clutches. I was probably going to get the JWT otherwise.
