don't get that. a stage 3? you will hate it after a few months. it isn't suitable for daily driving. the best option for a midly modded car is the 5th gen setup as mentioned above.

gunny11218

yea but how much is a 5th gen clutch and is it going to fit right in or is there some fabrication involved.

It a direct bolt in. It will run you somewhere around 250.

The exedy stage 1 racing clutch is $250, the regular exedy 5th gen clutch can be had on E-bay for under $125 with shipping from grip-force (speed solutions) I bought one for someone elses car a few weeks back and he loves it

No no and no. Purchase an original Nissan clutch, or an exedy from an exedy dealer. An old saying comes to mind....You get what you pay for. Theres a reason why its soo cheap.

Just pay 200 or so bucks and get the damn 5th Gen clutch from a dealer. And in the likely case that the dealer near you tried to screw you, like I said, call up Southpoint Nissan and ask for Dave Burnnete. 888-254-6060

gunny11218

so i can see its either the 5th gen clutch which i probably might go with or an exedy stage one.. what your saying 3d is if the dealer tries to **** me over by charging me a ton of money say no and call dave durnnete, then what do i tell him?

If you're going to go with the 5th gen clutch you might as well get it from speed solutions for $40-70 less, it's the same exedy clutch, pp, and an oem nok bearing, brand new in an exedy box from an exedy dealer with the exedy 12k warranty, I can see why some guys are leary of E-bay but that doesn't mean that you should never consider buying from there in certain situations. That knock-off performance clutch listed in the OP, yeah, but a genuine exedy from an exedy dealer, I actually didn't even bid or win an auction, I just grabbed there number off of the listing and called them, speed solutions is awesome to deal with and I'm telling you from my own personal experience ordering the exact same clutch disc you're interested in, heck if you go with the exedy stage 1 they can probably beat the GD price on that also, they ARE AN OFFICIAL EXEDY DEALER!! trust me or not, I really don't care, I'm just trying to help some people save some money.......

gunny11218

so in youre saying: go with the ebay clutch kit i was looking at?

gunny11218

and how do i find speed solutions? i need steps bro. im not following you

...he already said they were a seller on ebay?

...and didn't everyone tell you NOT to get that original clutch?

there's some good advice here but you've got to actually try reading some of it.

if you really wanna go cheap you can go with exedy ebay clutch kit which is like $125-150 or so. I haven't had any problems with mine. I have over 65k mi mostly city /3 yrs on mine and grips at WOT perfectly fine. But I don't do any crazy clutch dumps on it.

EDIT: specific one I got from the clutchcity according to my paypal account

alright man sounds good i will do that proclutch exedy deal. its stage one right?

iTrader: (29)

Are you planning on doing anything serious in the near future? the regular exedy can hold all bolt ons including an 00vi, I'd be leary of the stage 1 if it doesn't come in an exedy box.......

gunny11218

well dude, im just doing the same one he reccomended. and i dont really plan on turboing or s/c it anytime soon. maybe only just like finishing up my exhaust or headers
