ACT clutch installed. Car wont start :[

Well i got the ACT heavy duty pressure plate and disc and the streetlite flywheel and had one of my guys at work install it. He finished the install and went to start it and now it wont turn over. and its not the battery. We were looking at the ACT flywheel papers and it said that if you didnt align the pin hole then you might have problems. i dont know... im bummed anyone put in a act clutch in with experience want to tell me what we might have done wrong.

im sure i didnt explain this well enough ask questions

your crankshaft position sensor should be aligned with the sensor on the flywheel. if it ain't, the car won't start. It happend to me before.

A few things to check. There are two alignment holes in the back of the flywheel that are specific to FWD and RWD models. The correct hole had to be aligned with the crank sensor. If this is not done, the car won't start. Was any adjustment made to the pedals? If so, and the neutral position sensor is not being depressed when the pedal is pushed down, the car will not start. Check these things out and let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

ok so we finished it earlier today it was that aligment dowel on the flywheel. haha so lame. well car runs good. this clutch feels like night and day compared to my old clutch. I got the National Service History on my G from a buddy at infiniti and at 38k miles they recommended they guy a new clutch... obviously he didnt replace it because there was no history of it being replaced and we just pulled out the stock clutch today at a little over 70k miles i bought it at 48k miles and been babying it till now.

How light is the flywheel?

Its hard to compare the different clutches, but most everyone that changes them out prefers the aftermarket to the stock one.
