ACT Streetlite Flywheel and Exedy Clutch combo in the drivetrain vendor section. THMotorsports.
And if you do this yourself your going to need help and to read up on all the information here. I got lucky and didn't have to bleed my clutch and my shifter didn't need adjusting since I marked all the locations of the bolts holding the shifter in.
Good luck.
Just had mine finished up yesterday. Did most of the work Saturday but hit a brick wall when I couldn't get the tranny to line up and slide back in.
Definitely a pain in the ***. Jack stands are not the best way to go but if you are going to use them, have FOUR. It's not going to work well with just two jackstands as everything will be crooked and the tranny will not slide in and out right.
Also need a T-55 Torx bit for the flywheel. There's a locating dowel for the flywheels so remembering how it fits isn't that important, putting the new fw in is the more important part.

I just did my JWT combo install yesterday and as far as torquing the flywheel bolts, I ordered new bolts from Nissan and torqued them to 70 foot pounds....I know the JWT instructions say 90 then re-torque to 93 but after doing some research I found that many people stripped them while torquing them that high. I just used the Nissan torque specs and re-torqued to 70 with red locktite. The service manual says 65.
There was a limited run of ARP flywheel bolts a few years back. They don't use that t-55, instead using a 12 pt socket. For future clutch swappers, they may want to call up and see if they can make more.
When I did a G35 install, I just used blue locktite and torqued down to 65 on new OEM bolts and it's fine.
