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....

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.....

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.

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.
