Replacing Clutch which Product Best
Pardon?
I tried really hard to have any clue what you're trying to ask here, but I came up with nothing really. I figure:
1: You want to know what clutch to put in your 2002 Nissan Maxima.
2: You want to know what you need to swap a 2009 Maxima engine in your 2002
3: You have no idea what you want you just felt like posting something

Language barrier? Remember, we do get foreign dignitaries from time to time. Had guys from middle east, Russia and Australia that I can immediately think of.
I'd assume he has done the engine swap and is looking at putting down more power.
Soooo, question appears to be what clutch is preferred for that setup?

Hey guys,
Ive talked to him quite a bit over the last few months or so.
He has a 02 Maxima 6spd, done the 09 swap, and is running on stock ecu.
I beleive he has a OEM clutch with 1xx,xxx miles on it. Im not sure what flywheel most likely stock.

Well, I didn't know the stock 6speed mounted up. This is a hard question without knowing compatibility between flywheels clutches, etc.
Also, curiosity, how in the heck is he running an 09 with a 02 ecu?
And also need to know what kind of power it's running/planning to be running.
It's handy to know what kind of driving you do, etc as well. And if the car will be getting a new Lightweight Flywheel also when you do the clutch?
Here's a few general FYI stuff you can find by searching:
- Clutches and Flywheels bolt to one another. Not all clutches bolt to stock flywheels. Not all flywheels allow stock clutches to mount to them. Some are 'mated' items
If you are ONLY doing the clutch you need to make sure it is built to bolt to the STOCK flywheel.
- Stock spec Clutches will be fine up to about 300ish WHP under 'harder' application (ie. spirited driving, odd track day)
*Note: One companies "STOCK SPEC" or "STAGE 1" is NOT equal to another companies. This is not a universal thing. STAGE 1 for one company could be the same as another companies STOCK SPEC. You need to do a bit of research here once you narrow your companies down to decide what stage you want.
Exedy makes decent clutches. Theyre an OEM manufacturer for quite a few companies. The Stage 1 is good and affordable. Pedal will still be super soft.
Stock bolt pattern (matches up to stock flywheel)
JWT uses a stock clutch friction disc, pressure plate with a chinese clutch cover that increases clamping force. This clutch has a good repulation and is very capable of holding higher power. Pedal still super soft.

ACT is about the top of the line but you pay for it. Youll have a very hard time finding anyone who complains about ACT clutches. If you want the best, ACT should be on the top of your hit list.
Theres others, of course.
As for flywheels, you can spend a little or a lot. Fidanza is the middle ground here and also has a very good reputation. One benefit to the Fidanza is a replacable friction surface, so as long as you dont overheat and warp it, you can replace the friction plate down the road instead of needing an entire replacement unit (this is a very long term plan, for most it will make no differance and is more of a marketting thing)
JWT uses Fidanzas flywheel. Its the same flywheel exactly. If you get a JWT clutch & flywheel combo now you know what youre actually getting.

Yeah stock 6sp bolts right up, just use the correct upper oil pan.
You can run stock ecu on the 09 motor, its not a good idea but you can.
My car ran very lean on stock ecu, and the power was not where it should of been.
It would be ok do to to see if the motor was good, and untill a EMS system could be installed.
