clutch help needed.

anyone know of a local shop to buy a Exedy OEM Replacement Clutch Kit?

i checked performance nissan, and no luck. my clutch starting slipping bad last night and i need to fix asap.

if not, i was thinking to upgrade to a nismo clutch and nismo pressure plate. if i do what else is needed to install those?

ya i saw that too, but online i found the Exedy OEM Replacement Clutch Kit for about $300. which is $100 less than the JWT and that is $150 less than nismo. well i can go either nismo or jwt, but on mynismo they also just show the JWT with a clutch and pressure plate. is there anything else needed for the install?? like Release Bearing, Pilot Bearing, or Aligning Tool?

Do you have the oem flywheel? If I'm not mistaken you can't resurface the oem dual mass flywheel.
