The JWT clutch is actually not bad even with the high capacity pressure plate (have driven one). Yes its a little more noisey but for those of us with forced induction on our minds its a good investment. Of course you oculd also go with the Nismo clutch which has a lower rated pressure plate and has a bit softer feel.

The dealership wanted $1400 for the clutch and flywheel. That's why I didn't want them to put that in for me. I want something that will last longer and hold at least a little better than the stock clutch. Any other ideas?

Hey Rob,
Have you gotten your Turbonetics kit installed and ready for fun yet? Any other flywheel/clutch combo suggestions that don't make too much noise?

Nope, no grinding issue, unless that includes ultra fast shifting that causes grinding sometimes...lol
500 for install??? No way! that's insane. It's not that much work to replace the clutch and flywheel now is it? Or is this only for dealership installations?

hey rob,
i am thinking that you should delete this from your sig:
(Retired)2k3 Frontier XE Desert Runner: AEM Brute Force intake, Panasonic/Clarion/Alpine/US Amps system. All synthetic fluids, Silvannia Siverstars.
(Retired) 2k2 Spec V: AEM CAI, AEBS header, Mossy Performance Exhaust, Mossy Short Shifter, Crown SS brake lines, Crown SS clutch line, Nismo rear sway, Nismo Lower Tie bar, B&G springs, Motul RBF600, Timing Advance 3*, Denso Iridium plugs, Yokohama AVS Es100s, Alpine/JL system.
it just looks too cluttered.

Hey guys,
I was going to get new rims and tires for the Z but now that I have to pay for the clutch and flywheel and the install, I was wondering what is probably the best tire setup for the stock 17's?
This is just a temporary thing because I will get the rims and tires for sure. If you don't already know, I got into an accident because my stupid stock tires in the rear hydroplaned and I hit an 18 wheeler. Now I need something to drive around for a while until I can afford to get 19x8.5 & 19x9.5's in a few months.
What do you think is best in my situation?
