I totally understand that this is your opinion, and I respect that...

But why do you feel that way?

And I agree with fr33way, the clutch engagement is very manageable. I drive in NYC city frequently, and do a lot of stop and go around town, plus I'm an active-shifter *****, meaning I tend to upshift and revmatch-downshift through the whole range all the time, everytime.

I find the engagement and feel to be tighter and more predictable than stock, but you'll likely find that's the case anytime you replace a old-worn out part with a new one. Keep in mind, the heavy duty/stage 1 pressure plate is designed with street-ability in mind, so you won't have a sore left leg, unless you have pipe-cleaners for legs or something like that...But yes, it's tight, but not too tight as to require a high degree of attention all the time.

I feel that way because the only reason I can see why someone would put a stage 1 clutch on an n/a max is so that they can chirp 3rd, I see no other reason why you would get one.

An OEM 5th gen setup, which costs only $200 (as opposed to the ACT $400) will last A LOT longer than a stage 1 clutch and will have more than enough grip you will ever need for your n/a max. In my mind I just dont see any reason for getting one unless you are boosted or have nitrous.

hey guys, these parts listed, will it have the same item number if i get it from an infinity dealer?

I would think so. But you could always call up the Infinity dealer and ask if Nissan part numbers are for the same parts from Infinity. Its the same company so thats why I would htink they are, but you never know.

Dude, you don't have to buy one. I know I don't have a 400hp boosted VQ, I like the ACT clutch better than stock. I drive a '96 with the stock setup all the time, between my STS and Stage 1 clicking through the gears is alot different.

I think the 5th gen is a great setup and if I wanted a stock feel that is without question what I would get.

Feed had asked me why I felt there was no need to get one, I was not addressing you. If you like, good for you.

My original Clutch has 125k on it and still grabs like the day i bought it. That is with 45 passes at the track. You may wanna just get 5th gen clutch setup

What about Exedy Stage 1? I;ve heard good and bad things about this clutch but I think more good. I bought one for my swap. What do you guys think?

Depends on who you ask. My understanding of it is that while your engine can rev up faster, revs also fall faster, launching is harder, and basically, there's less room for error. Would I pay $300 for the privilege? Probably not.
