I like centerforce, but dont get the the unsprung ones though. You can find a parts list on this forum somewhere.

if you dont drive the car hard, and its mostly stock then just get the oem nissan one.

courtesyparts.com has them always.

If your car has some mods and you want alittle improvement over stock look for a "stage 1" type clutch. centerforce and act clutches are good but realize the farther up you go the stronger the clutch is. a good thing? not necessarily!

if you get a stage 3 clutch for a car with 150hp, the clutch will literally be an almost on/off operation. go with something that matches your power. i speak from experience here ;)

new clutch parts:

Throwout BearingClutch DiskPressure PlatePilot Bushing

Should also bleed the clutch with fresh fluid and resurface the flywheel.

just get a clutch kit. most all clutched come with everything you need, pressure plate, disc, TO bearing, alignment tool. the only thing you need to do is have your flywheel resurfaced. i got a spec stage 2 and i love it. it grabs like hell, but its still very streetable.

Ever given ACT a try? Very good clutches, I've used them on mr2's, 300zx tt's, ae86, and on a dohc 240 all with excellent feel to them. from organic disk to a 4 puck, always very good. Although, the 4 puck is harsh when not taking care for smooth shifting. I plan on getting the 6 puck for my SR within the next couple of weeks.
