Default clutch and flywheel question

Alright so my 06 350z with 43k on it is going into the shop for a new engine courtesy of nissan due to oil consumption. Anyways, since the engine is out id like to have a new clutch installed and the dealer said i might need a flywheel but it was $1100!!! I went through their parts dept and i found the NISMO edition for $525. Im pretty sure im going with the nismo flywheel but do i need a nismo clutch also or will an OE clutch be fine?

I don't know. I’d have to look at the clutch.

BTW what's wrong with the flywheel?

why cant you just machine your stock flywheel for $20 and reuse it.
