I have an 03 G35 coupe 6mt, it still has the stock clutch at 104k miles, its about time for a new one, going towards the performance side. Has a cold air intake, going for test pipes, a tune and about a 100 shot of gas. Wondering if i can just get a ceramic 6 puck disc from z1 or should i just get the mild performance clutch kit with a 6 puck upgrade?..I think i've read up somewhere that the stock clutch pressure plate doesn't have adequate clamping force meaning it'll slip under heavy upgrades. But will it matter if i keep the stock pressure plate and add a 6 puck??..I'm not looking to make 500hp, just enough to beat up some overrated muscle cars on the street!![Driving](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/driving.gif)

Its not normally recommended to change the disk only, the pressure plate is worn at that mileage. Also not all disk are the same thickness and pairing the clutch disk/pressure plate correctly will greatly affect how well they work.
If you are going for a street clutch a 6 puck disk is not going to drive all that good for daily use.
Also will want to upgrade the clutch fork in your 03 to the new style kit so you get full clutch release with an aftermarket clutch. Cast iron clutch fork upgrade
I can help you choose a great set-up for your needs, feel free to give us a call tomorrow 937-665-0450

What kind of deals do yall have for a lighter flywheel, and the high power street clutch you guys have rated for 700 hp, that should hold plenty for my nitrous upgrade in the future without making drivability hard right??

For a 100 shot and bolt sons you really don't need 700hp capable clutch, Anything around 500 will be plenty with South Bend.
The SS Street kit/Flywheel package will do you fine and it is on special this weekend only. This is a STEAL!
