Ohh now i see. U dont carry RPS lol i thought this was a actual legitimate post not trying to be a salesman. hmm anyways RPS clutch and flywheel comes with EVERYTHING u need like throw out bearing and was WAY less then what the delaership quoted me and i have a upgraded clutch now and a smoother rev and faster rev and feels A LOT better to me now
I've done many business with adam, he never push me to buy stuff from him. He always give me an option and he let me pick from table. Even he doesn't carry some parts, he still put those options on table for me. There is a reason why i put his name on my sig.
Is it because i bought a part from him? no. he was like that when i first time asked him parts thru local NY forum. That's just adam...that's how he got over 300 positive feedbacks...

While we don't list RPS on our website, we certainly can supply it for anyone who asks. They make a good product.
However, the fact of the matter is this. Unless the car has considerable jerking from a dead stop, (indicating that his flywheel has considerable deposits on it and as such needs replacement) his flywheel will easily be able to be reused. Reusing it saves the person significant money. Since noise is a primary concern for this person, I would not suggest changing to ANY aftermarket flywheel for this particular person. Furthermore, if the stock clutch has lasted 97k miles, and he has no plans for significant power upgrades, nor plans for any sort of motorsports event, a stock clutch is, IMHO, his most cost effective setup. Your opinion can differ, and that's fine.
The Exedy clutch kit also comes with everything needed for a full install. Yes, I am sure the dealership quoted you a significant amount to replace the OE clutch and flywheel - not sure why you would expect it to be otherwise. If you took some time to research, you would know that Exedy makes the OE clutch for Nissan, and it can be had from various sources for considerably less than via the parts counter at the dealership. Again, if the flywheel is not causing any driveability issues, it can easily be reused without incident.

Ok buttercups let me explain this to u all since yall r kinda sad what i posted. I didnt mean to say Adam is a douche and a salesman. Yes he is a salesman and CONGRATS on having over 300 feedback and being a vendor since 03. I was in this same circumstance as the guy that made this thread. Yes i called my TUNER/MECHANIC and he said get RPS.(Hes not a vendor nor does he sell parts. THen i talked to Derek(DJSMITTY) he said great things about RPS. Ok i called my local dealership who sold me parts for wholesale thru the chevy dealership i worked at. So i added up both quotes and seen best bang for the buck for ME was RPS. and yes i knew and know the exedy makes OE clutch and hmm his went out. And if he doesnt need a flywheel(which we dont know bc he hasnt posted saying that and im sure he hasnt gotten it looked at either) why would he keep it. I wouldnt since im sure sum1 would replace while they do the clutch for cheap(4 me it was free). Idk Z1 only from word from other vendors nor have i ordered thru them nor will i ever. No hard feelings here its just when a vendor post their products its usually to make a dollar.

my suggestion of the OEM clutch was to tquill, hence why I quoted his question with my initial reply to him
I didn't make a suggestion to the OP beyond the Exedy/ACT combo, since he hasn't been back to the thread to check in the first place (or at least has not replied). If you feel the RPS is better, then that's great
Again, at no point did I say RPS wasn't a good solution. Having used their products on other cars, I have no reason to think it wouldn't work in this application as well. However, for tquill, which is who I was making the Exedy OEM/stock flywheel recommendation to, given what he has told me, I made a suggestion...and that's all it is, a suggestion.
