Default Whats the best Clutch setup for my 08 Nismo

Hi all, and thanks for being patient with me. I have an 08 Nismo, and now that the warranty is finally up. Plan on running some track days and taking it down the strip. The stock clutches in these cars are just south of puke.." replaced mine 3 times now". And was wondering what you all thought and or have as a good street/ strip setup. Right now im still stock rockin, but plan on increasing the hp when i have the time. Just wanting to know what the best clutch was. Im used to ACT, from past cars. But with so many others on the market. I could spend all day looking. Any input will be helpful, And thanks for your time.

I've heard good things about jwt stage 2 . That's what I'm eventually gonna switch mine to when I get the money along with a light flywheel , pretty sure you could get a good deal on a combo on conceptzperformance

If you are planning on staying N/A take a look at JWT package. I've got it in my car it's a forgiving clutch with a great feeling pedal. After a while the flywheel gets loud. But check it out great package!

Jwt clutch flywheel feels great IMO but if you don't want to deal with that chatter, stay away

Get any clutch you want. Seriously.

Just pick a hp level you want to hold, then pick your favorite brand. As long as it isn't cheap *** knock off crap you're halfway there.

Then pick up an RJM Clutch Pedal bracket. The guy who makes them started on our forum. Search RJM Clutch Pedal and find out what it does.
Definitely worth getting.


To note: for higher hp clutches, a single disk (like a southbend) will put more load on your thrust bearings, and over time will cause premature wear. On lower hp levels, you shouldn't have this problem at all.
