Flywheel replacement

Well...after 174,000 miles, the dealership has told me that my flywheel is warped, causing the car to shake a lot when going into 1st gear. I'm just curious if there are any preferred flywheels other than the Nissan ones that are cheaper but better than stock, and how much I'm looking at for parts=labor. Thanks!

Get a Fidanza flywheel. It's much lighter than stock. Not sure how the prices compare though.

Holy shizzle! Your car is still going after 174k? Damn!

Fidanza is the way to go and with the outrageous prices nissan charges for parts, it may even be cheaper.

174 is nothing.

One of our sales reps had a 4th gen that clocked over 330,000. Still on the first tranny (auto) and stock motor. Then he sold it and I'm told it's still running today.

Go w/ Fidanza. If you want OEM, I got one sitting around. 30k miles on it.
