Recommend me a clutch for 2005 G35
Hey guys,
My car is mechanically stock, and will be remaining so because soon I will be a broke-ish college student. However, soon I will need to replace the clutch/flywheel so I'm wondering if I should go with OEM or something else?
Thanks in advance,
Phil

Phil, go with the OE clutch, should last 100K miles! It's possible to resurface your current fly wheel, it won't need to be replaced. Since you're going to be on a tight budget have a brake/alignment shop check your suspension for worn parts, better now than later!

Jim Wolf Technology clutch kit. It's the last clutch you will ever buy.
Put mine in 6-7 years ago, still going strong.
You will have "shatter" on the low mass flywheel, I don't even notice it anymore.
Your clutch pedal effort will go up, but again I don't even notice it anymore. (It's rated for 450 hp)
The best part is everything is rebuildable, the flywheel has replaceable elements, the clutch pack easy to replace etc.
I can recommend importpartspro.com
You can get the entire kit you can get the entire kit clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, pilot alignmeant tool, throw out bearing, pivot sleeve, and SS clutch line for around $800. it cost me about 600 to install it ,

Sorry, didn't mean to go all quiet - I think I need to change my notification settings.
Gary C - I had something in my front suspension replaced right after I bought the car - I think maybe control arms? The tires were wearing unevenly that's how we could tell it needed something.
I did some research and I thought that resurfacing the dual mass flywheel is a bad idea because it might end up wearing out faster than the clutch would, and the labor in taking apart the transmission and replacing it would be a huge waste of money (I know an OK amount about cars but I don't have the time or technical skill to do stuff like this myself).
Texas scout - What do you mean "shatter"??
