What clutch to get ACT, OEM, other?
Its going to be time soon to get a clutch for my 5speed conversion and Im debating on what clutch I should get? Most ppl would say ACT but I also heard that they are harder for daily driving and also they tend to be hard on gears? I dont know what I should do, just get OEM or get a ACT since its alot easier because the tranny will be off the car for the conversion so why not kill 2 birds with one stone kind of deal.
For you ACT guys- what do you think? do you enjoy the act? compared to stock? drivability?

If you drive the way your grandma does, stick with the OEM. If you're a bit more aggressive or have (or plan on doing) mods on the car, go with the ACT. Pedal effort is slightly stiffer than stock but it's nothing extraordinary.

I just got my ACT clutch installed. All I can say is WOW! It grabs like a champ, and now I can chirp 3rd gear. The pedal feel is like the stock one, but a tad grabbier but nothing too outrageous. I'm satisfied with my clutch. I recommend it.

i just installed the street ACT on friday. Pedal pressure and catch point is the same as stock. It does grab harder though, but after 1 min of stop and go (stop signs getting outta the neighborhood...I always do complete stops) I started driving like it was nothing. If you drive normally, the ACT will not be a problem in traffic. It's not any harder to drive than stock.
I actually had plenty of meat left on the original clutch...anybody wanna buy it?

If you're just driving: OEM
My ACTHDMM was mis installed at the dealer.. they didn't re surface the flywheel and it cost me a new one. The act actually blued the flywheel and groved it. The dealer blamed the clutch, guys at ACT blamed the install. Now I was stuck w/ purchasing 2 clutches...AND a new flywheel. F THAT DEALERSHIP!
Seriously, if you are going to mod, do the ACT, but if you are just driving around like every other tom, ****, and harry to the OEM.
Just my 2K clutch woes!

Seems like ACT is the way to go so maybe I might end up getting one. I also think I should resurface the flywheel too. Does Nissan resurface them? if so, whats the price if I handed them the flywheel to do the job?

I just got done installing an ACT. Their instuctions are pretty clear. Resurfaced flywheel is a MUST. Also a very clean flywheel and PP surface is also a MUST. I cleaned my with brake cleaner and a clean rag and was careful about not touching when installing(as much as possible)

i think it depends on how bad the flywheel is. nissan did my act install and they resurfaced it. i think its basically standard procedure if your old clutch was slipping.

if u have any type of performance add ons and want to put more, i reccomend act cause it grabs a lot better than stock...even with a brand new clutch, at times u may still get slippage...act...not...
