Which Clutch Should I Get???

So my clutch is starting to slip and I was wondering which one I should go with. My car only has basic mods and I'm not out racing it. I'm not looking to spend a fortune but I don't want some cheap garbage. Lastly how do I know if I need to replace the flywheel also? Any help is appreciated.

A 5th gen clutch would be perfect.
Or you could go with a EXEDY oem or Stage I which is what I have.

All of them are good sets

If you have bad clutch chatter or visible hot spots (blue or black) in the flywheel surface, you will need to replace it. If the flywheel ran smooth and looks good you just need to hace it resurfaced at a machine shop.

Definitely the 5th gen. I ordered all my parts through a Nissan parts wholesaler (it's a dealer in Illinois) and saved a bunch while still getting the OEM stuff I needed.

Has a stronger feel and is better than the 4th gen. clutch. It will fasten right up with no additional mods, just make sure that you replace the throwout bearing and if you have not done your rear main seal, this is a good time to get that out of the way as well.
