With the JWT flywheel you will probably dislike the noise. The lighter the flywheel in any VQ series the more gear noise you are going to hear at idle and up to about 2000 rpm. I have the ACT street lite and the noise is not that bad, it is 16.9lbs vs jwt 13lbs comparing both to oem @ 24lbs. Acceleration is definitely improved and the engine revs quicker. The only issue I had at first was the idle. Had to have it bumped up to around 850 because when I pushed in the clutch the revs dropped down so fast the engine acted if it wanted to stall. The 850 rpm resolved that issue.

Let me know what you choose to got with. I'm looking into getting a new lighter flywheel as well right now, and would love to hear what you choose and how it works for you.

Well after cracking her open for the first time today after the engine/clutch break-in, I'm in love.

Luckily, I got mine installed when Infiniti had to replace the engine under warranty. I have a good relationship with the guys over there, so they didn't charge me extra, but slipped the tech some money on the side. $400 doesn't sound to bad, as they have to drop the transmission and all.
