My clutch has started slipping when doing high gear boost pulls so its time for a new clutch. I have already ordered an ACT 6 Puck Clutch with HD Pressure Plate and need to know what else I should replace while doing this swap, by searching I have found I should also replace the following parts, is there any thing else I am missing:

Clutch w/ Pressure Plate
Rear Main Seal
Pilot Bearing
Resurface Fly Wheel

I would consider getting a new Clutch Slave cylinder. But that's me. I don't like being under the car very often, so when it's time to do work, I try to do it all at once. If you haven't bypassed the pressure valve, now's a good time too.

I had replaced the slave cylinder when I did the swap so that is pretty new, I also ordered a SS clutch line. Where is this pressure valve?

This thing. It's for people that don't know how to drive a stick. It stops the clutch from slamming into the pressure plate if you let it out too quickly (From what I understand). My 240 is in pieces right now, as I am swapping in an RB25 s1. I FULLY intend on taking that loop out.

make sure to change out the throw out bearing as well. Clean and regrease everything before reassembly. Also I'd also recommend changing the fork pivot to the nismo unit, you'll be kicking yourself if this things snaps...
