So after realizing my wanna-be-OEM clutch can't hold a 65 shot, I had to look for a new clutch, and decided on the Spec stage 2 since it seemed to fit my needs.
I used the Spec stage 2 clutch and PP, OEM throw out bearing, Mobil 1 syn. 75-90 oil, and replaced most seals around tranny. I tried to see if ES shifter bushings from either B13/B14 Sentras would fit our car, but they appeared to be about 1/8" too small, so Tilley recommended that we not install them. Too bad....
However, the test drive was very rewarding. Other reports of people installing the Stage 2 clutches resulted in chatter, but luckily I could hear and feel none. The pedal felt no stiffer than stock, and shifting actually felt a tad better. I've put on about 150 miles so far....so I can't report much more about how it feels.
For about $300, I think this clutch is awesome. I don't fear getting stuck in traffic...thankfully. I have a good feeling about how it's going to handle the 65 shot.
Big thanks to Tilley for his work today. He knows his way around Maximas, that's for sure. Charged me a very reasonable price, and we were lucky enough to not run into any real problems. Also thanks to Shadow/Jeff for the clutch and quick shipment.
Stay tuned for further results...

EDIT: I'm using a resurfaced OEM flywheel.....f- that other stuff....

 

what about flywheel?

 

Im lookin at buyin a Spec too.....

 

edited.....resurfaced OEM flywheel

 

Hmm, flywheel is holding up fine w/ n2o?

 

How could it not? I can only assume OEM is the strongest....and flywheels aren't really rated to handle power, so I don't think it will be a problem. I've heard plenty more problems about aftermarket flywheels getting warped or whatever than OEM....and this was damn cheap. I also really have no need for a lightened one....soooo.....

 

I wouldn't recommend you get a Fidanza Bijan.

 

my fidanza flywheel is doing just fine with my little hit of N20.

 

whats up fidanza flywheels?

 

awesome nick, that stocker just wasnt doing the job once the N20 hit. hope this one holds up!

 

what??????

 

u know what he means.... if your not gonna answer his question then dont post.

i heard that the spec clutch and fidanza flywheel tends to slip for some reason but im not sure with the stage two.

 

all i am trying to do is to figure out if it is worth it when i get my clutch replaced for a aftermarket unit.

 

Liqid forgot his pills I see.
How am I supposed to know what he means when he says "whats up fidanza flywheels?"
Why not just say any one reccomends fidanza or is fidanza worth getting? My friend has a fidanza with an exedy and he likes it. The rpm drop faster but he as no negative things to say.

 

Hope to see some good time from you this spring. Way to represent the I30!

 

I have no complaints. I have the SPEC stage 2 and Fidanza in my car. Been in there for a long time, pre and post turbo without any issues.
