flywheel and clutch

[mastere954]

sup guys, im dropping my 5spd transmission and installing a fidanza 12lb flywheel and also im replacing the clutch and clutch bearing and pressure plate with a new oem nissan clutch kit..would this be a good combo lighten flywheel and new factory clutch kit or do i have to get a performance pressure plate??

Unless you're planning for some extra power, generally the stock clock would be more than enough. The flywheel is an excellent choice, it will make a huge difference.

IMPORTANT... before installing them into your car, take the flywheel and pressure plate to a good machine shop to have balanced. They're generally balanced from the factory but you want the pressure plate balanced with the flywheel so that both are correct. I've seen some nasty catastrophic failure when its not been done. Plus, it will make the whole setup smoother as well so that's always a benefit. I've been quoted between $50-$75 so its not all that expensive and definitely worth it.

Good luck with everything!

The fidanza flywheel is great you will love the power that you get from it. but you should go with a different clutch. i went with a center force duel friction.

00-01 OEM clutch setup

The 00-01 is enough for most people; even with the full set of standard NA mods (intake/y-pipe/UDP/catback/ECU) the stock 95-99 clutch will hold the power just fine. Heck the stock 95-99 clutch will handle 250whp from a 6.5psi supercharger just fine if you're not drag racing it or launching hard.
