Not shure what Clutch or Flywheel to get?

Alright...before anyone gives me a smart comment, let me say that I spent almost 2hours reading soo many threads about (Clutches and Flywheels) and havent made up my mind on what to get. In about 2-3 weeks im gonna get my SC on my max. I currently have the stock clutch and flywheel, I will be running 11psi and im looking for something that will grab and not damage my tranny since im going to be using my car to go to work. Well not every day but maybe 2 days a week.

I have driven two maximas with different set ups,
1) Exedy stage 1 Clutch and Fidanza flywheel
2) Centerforce stage 2 and Stillen Flywheel.


I've read good things about the Clutnet 6 puck clutch, but to be honest i think thats a little too rough for me. So now that ive done alot of reading and have driven these two cars i would like to hear what you guys have to advice me

Thank's for your time,
Albert

i think the spec clutches are supposed to be better for daily driving. They dont catch as hard as the ACT but they have smooth engagement and the stage 2(the one i would like to get) has a kevlar disc. This is just from what i have researched and found. I think the torque spec on this one is 400 wtq so it would be strong enough.

I was in the same position as you a few months back. I was looking at the Exedy Stage 1 and 2, ACT, and Clutchnets. My car is a daily driver and I don't track or run the 1/4 mile, so I figured there's no point in getting a a stiff-**** puck clutch. I ended up going with the Clutchnet stage 2 smooth-lock sprung hub organic disc and their stage 2 yellow pressure plate. I couldn't be happier It's easy on the foot and holds 8psi, no slipping whatsoever.

However if you're planning on racing or making over 300whp, I would go with something stronger, perhaps the Clutchnet 6-puck sprung hub clutch, not only because it will last longer but it'll also be able to hold the extra power.
