Default 350z clutch help!

My z has about 70,000 miles and the clutch is done on it. I have never ran a aftermarket clutch. I was thinking about buying the comp stage 1 clutch. Lots of people say it sucks. Same with every other clutch I have looked up. can anyone help me out? I have a 350$ price range and I don't want to go with a crazy stage clutch for a stock Z like some people do.

I went with the JWT (Jim Wolf Technology) clutch and flywheel. Concept Z has just the clutch kit (no flywheel) for $400. It is generally recommended to replace the flywheel at the same time though, which will run you $375 more.

If you have a DE:

JWT clutch is a fantastic replacement, I highly recommend it as well.

I bought an Exedy oem non stage clutch kit and it works fine for me, once this goes out I will buy a stage clutch system since I have recently added more mods to my Z.

While I also like the Stillen clutch and flywheel, it's way out of the OP's price range. I'd suggest checking on whether Nissan has a Value Plus clutch kit for the OP's Z33 model. The Value Plus line is Nissan's attempt to be competitive with the aftermarket in replacement parts. A new clutch disc, pressure plate and clutch slave would be the parts I'd go for IF the flywheel is salvageable.
