Well I got about 80k on the odometer and I got the 5spd. I cannot make the wheels chirp! Not that I try to. But one would think I get a little bark on nice pavement with about a 3k launch. I just get a wierd monotone from the engine (IE, tach floats around 4-4.2k rpm for a bit and then it seems like its sticking together). Still shifts nice and smooth and such, but I think something isnt quite right.

try this out, drop it in second, and just let off the clutch without accelerating, if it instantly dies, clutch is still good, but if it jerks, even ONCE, clutch is slowly slipping, slowly.....
ypu can go to http://www.expressautoparts.com/accessories/ and they have act setup for like $250 capable of 211lbs of tq, if not go to sentra.net and look up drivetrain and the reviews of clutches they tested....
One word Overpriced! That is right just for the pressure plate it was like over 200 bucks. I got my act for 175 for the ga16 at sr20performance. Not saying JWT is bad they are the gurus of nissan imo but sometimes they over do it on price. Oh yeah the pressure plate engagement is softer I forgot. Like stock feel with 30% more clamping power. (Accoding to JWT) I don't mind a little more clamping pressure from my ACT in exchange for a less expensive clutch kit. If My girl drives it and doesn't complaint why should I. I have dumped this clutch at almost 6000 rpm and it has sliped yet with 17 inch rims. ( exedy fully organic disk) I don't do it all the time though
If you anyone is in the san diego area check out southland clutch
in National City. They do flywheel lightening and will built you a custom clutch kit for the best bang for your buck.

The ACT is a good clutch for the $$$, however mine lasted about 30K miles before the plate wore out. It also managed to strecth the clutch cable so badly that I had to replace it when I installed the JWT. The other issue is that the clutch pedal effort is GREATLY increased with the ACT. Many people coul dnot drive the car because of the pedal effort. The JWT feels like stock, not because it does not have the clamping force, but because of how JWT increases the clamping force. Overall the JWT costs more but it is a better clutch in my opinion and I have owned both. I also seriously the ACT street strip would hold 211 LB FT as I managed to slip mine with about 105 WHP. Granted it will definately hold more than the stocker it will give it up with that much power!
JWT Hi-Force Pressure Plate
Designed with 30% more pressure to make a solid connection even with our N2O or turbocharger part. Can be used with the stock disk for a smooth engagement.
This is just the pressure plate. This excludes the disc and flywheel. Does JWT sell a pressure and disc plate combo(s)?
What about flywheels? What brand is the fav/best around here? UR?
