Well with only 38K on my car 20k of them with a S/C my clutch is slipping when I hit boost range. I know there's a lot of clutch kits out there. I need some suggetions for a good clutch and is stillen the only one one who makes an aluminum flywheel? Iv'e heard of problems with cenerforce. Thanks

 

Only get the ACT Street Disk .. got rice? has it

http://www.eatricezone.com/other01.html

ACT clutch kit, 89-99 Heavy duty PP/Organic disc $394 $344 NM1-HDMM

as for flywheel.. check the group deal forum

 

Will that be good for a S/C car?

 

ACT Street Clutch? its been holding up in a 14 PSI S/C car for a year so far.. and everyone else has nothing but compliments after installing it.. it even lets you chirp third gear on a NA Max

please.. please please.. DO NOT order the Race Clutch.. i know you get time to order your ACT Street clutch and you say .. ahh.. maybe i will get the Race Clutch.. the Race Clutch has blown several Transmissions for Org Members.. and who knows else where.. the Street clutch is perfectly capable of handling high horsepower

 

Cool, now about flywheels. Is stillen the only one who makes one?

 

Someone posted something about another company a while back but can't remember what company.

 

Fidanza

you been struggling with this flywheel decision longer then I have.-----> maximus75 dilemma

 

ptuning.com has the fidanza for $370.45 shipped with "pnismo" as the coupon code.

 

Wow not bad. Other sites like Unorthadox Racing was almost 600 for thiers.

Yeah, I've wanted do get one for a while but now that my clutch is REALLY slipping I have too make my decision. If I can get a fidanza for under $400 I'll do it. Did you get one yet or still struggling?

 

I put in a Stillen Aluminum Flywheel, JWT Stage II Clutch, Cattman Polyurethane Engine Mounts, and a Quaife ATB Differential all at the same time, and the improvement in traction was awe-inspiring.

That said, the clutch is mostly on/off. If your footwork isn't right, it's easy to ch-ch-ch-chatter on start-up, but shifting beyond first gear is not a problem. If I had to do it all over again, I may have opted for a tamer clutch, one that allows more of a smooth start-up, especially in daily stop-and-go city traffic. On the positive side, once the clutch is released, it does *not* slip. Good luck.

 

I gave myself until the end of the month to finally make a decision.
Fidanza seems too light to me and I am tired of paying for the STEALIN name. I will probably go with the Stillen one anyways though.
This sucks !

 

I think I'm gonna get the fidanza this week. I'll let you know how it is when I install it.

 

Has anyone here ever used an AASCO Lightend Flywheel? I just got an account open with them today. Anyone ever had one?

 

It appears that they are based in Anaheim, California. That's about a 15 minute drive for me and I pass by the place all the time. I'm at Disneyland like once a week. Maybe we should figure out what we all want in our flywheel, agree upon something and get an estimate on cost. I think this is ideal though. Chances are, the Maxima flywheel's design shares with another car i.e Sentra, 240SX or something, but maybe this company wouldn't mind fabricating a few for those interested.

So about the ideal flywheel, it seems like we all want a lighter flywheel, but many do not want a flywheel to be too light. So 15lb total sound good?

 

The Stillen flywheel is made by Mueller, a very reputable company. I got Adam to match a price I saw elsewhere, $425. I've never heard anything bad about the ACT clutch, but when I needed one none were available (I called ACT and every distributor in the Western U.S!) I ended up with the JWT stage 1 clutch and the Mueller flywheel, and I love the setup. I need to get the Quaife installed because I hook up faster and lose traction now. Better mileage too!

 

A Ptuning sales rep told me that he's not sure if the fidanza will work on anything but a 99-2000 max (nissan told me all 4th gens had the same FW) and they don't have any in stock. I called fidanza and they told me that their FW would probably work with all 4th gens but that they had "jumped the gun" when advertising the FW. It will be another 2 months, at least, before it's available and it will cost around $430.00. To make a long story short, I called $tealin and explained to my usual rep how Ptuning is selling a FW for $370 and he gave me one for $400.

 

95-01 use the same clutch/flywheel combo.

 

Who? Fidanza or AASCO?

 

AASCO

 

What would be the problem with a flywheel that was too light?

AASCO also makes the Unorthodox Racing flywheel i think . someone said they ordered one from unorthodox , paid like 500 bucks and it had AASCO all over it .. ive heard a lot of good about all the flywheels , especially AASCO .

 

No idea on a Maxima. I have a 7lb flywheel on the way for my car. I have driven some cars with this flywheel and i Loooove it. Makes it rev like a sport bike. Then again, my car's torque really picks up in the midrange and never really ends. A light flywheel really gets me to that sweet power spot very quickly. The only complaint is that the idle is slighty more rough...however, this is a minor niggle.

One note about Findanza; I have heard that their SHO flywheel's insert is too small to work with the stock clutch. Poor design in my opinion; I'd make sure that their flywheel will work with any clutch you are planning before you order..However, this info really only applies to SHO's and not Maximas. It probably isn't relevant, but it is something to ask them about when you order.
