My car has reached 60,000 miles and the clutch is finally starting to slip. My 06 350z is not modded and I don't plan on modding it so what do you guys recommend when it comes to replacing the clutch?

Some info to help the suggestion
- don't track, purely for street but I do like to push it once in a while on the streets
- don't want to have ANY noise coming from the clutch..like it quiet like the stock
- have driven my friend's s2000 and rx8 and their clutch seems to respond by "pushing out" the pedal as you apply gas. It feels more responsive and is less likely to ride the clutch. Compared to the 350z OEM clutch, I like the feel of the s2000 and rx8 one much better
- something reasonably priced. I'm not sure how much a clutch usually costs but i'm willing to pay somewhere down the middle in terms of price

Questions
- which clutch do you recommend? (of course lol..the whole point of the thread)
- will I need to replace the flywheel too? What difference will it make? if it's not neccessary i'd like to save some money and only replace the clutch
- should i replace the master slave cylinder? if so, roughly how much does it cost?

I know I have a lot of questions and I'd really appreciate it if I get some feedback. Hope the info I provided is enough for some suggestions...if not feel free to tell me if there's anything I should also point out.

Thanks,
Yorick

If it looks like the OEM clutch, it will perform similar to the OEM clutch.


If it looks weird like above, you probably don't want it.

There are lots of clutch recommendations and reviews here. Read. Learn.

You might want to try and go For EXEDY stage 1 , or CLUTCHMASTERS stage 1 clutch
Somepeople complain that JWT clutch makes the pedal feel lot stiffer than stock but the above EXEDY, and Clutchmasters are premium pieces so it might cost more but better quality.

As for the Flywheel try the Exedy Lightweight flywheel they would not make too much rattle noise like others super light weight flywheel because EXEDY lightweight flywheel weighs 19.6lbs and STOCK dual mass weighs in at 25.5lbs. the Singlemass flywheels are much more reliable compare to dualmass even at harsh condition. You could also resurface the EXEDY flywheel which u can't do on a DUALMASS flywheel.
