If your staying with N/A mods, meaning NO boost, then the 5th gen Clutch Setup will be fine for you. Just make sure you order it from a Nissan and you dont get their "Key Value" brand which isnt as good quality.

If you want something a bit grabbier and harder, the Exedy Stage ONE is great clutch as well.

Fidanza makes a great Flywheel for the maxima if you wanna spend an extra $400 but isnt needed....

Matt-

Do you really think that a 5th/4th gen hybrid kit won't handle boost? Not doubting you, just curious.

I know that a lot of guys have run the 4th gen or 4/5 hybrid pretty hard at the track, but I don't know if any were FI.

skweaky-

If you do decide to go with the OEM or OEM hybrid, go through DaveB- he knows exactly what you need to get the proper setup for the hybrid. Pay attention to the part in matt's quote that I bolded.

It all depends on what type of power your looking to reach. On a base S/C kit with no extras then youll probably be fine. but once you start adding stuff like a smaller pulley, full 3" exhaust, larger injectors, then you have a different story.

Cool. I don't need one (hell, I don't even have a Maxima), but I thought it might help out the OP to ask questions that he might not think to ask.
