Default Nismo Clutch: Japanese? or US? Is there a difference?

Hey guys, I'm rather new here to this forum. If this question has been posted before I apologize but I couldn't find anything similar when I made a search.

My '04 Track is due for a new clutch. I have decided on going with the Nismo Clutch and Flywheel combo. Now, where I work I can order any aftermarket parts for Lexus, Nissan, Honda, Toyota... you name it. My question is: Is there a difference that you guys may know of between the Nismo clutch from Japan compared to that of Nismo USA?

Just wondering because most of the time it is less expensive to order parts from Japan than buying them here in the U.S.

Any info anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.

I would contact Z1 Performance 631-863-3820 and ask for Adam. He will
get you what you need and help you with any questions you have. I
order ARC (Japan parts) items from them alot and they are great to
deal with.

Thanks for all of your feedback. At least now I know I'm making a good choice. I'm not planning on going boost or with many mods, just basic bolt-ons which is why I thought the Nismo Clutch/Flywheel combo was good.

I know many Z's experience that "clink" noise while shifting, do any of you who have the Nismo clutch have this problem? Did you have it before the Nismo clutch?
