Ahahaha! All you guys gave me **** for mine going out. Granted it only had 21k on it, but anyhooo.

Dude, I am really, really happy with my Carbonetic Twin Disc clutch. I could fully recommend it.

Wait, I thought you had an AT?

I like centerforce clutches. I've had one on my '94 stang for close to 80k miles now with no problems. I know centerforce is usually synonymous with domestics, but they do have applications for the G.

Dude, Carbonetic is the most durable clutch out there, pure carbon, good for up to 700-800HP.

I got the kit with the lightweight flywheel. Whole unit weighs like 23lbs or so for everything including flywheel. I love it, it came highly recommended from all the tuners I asked. You could go for their single disc too, if you feel the twin is too much.

I got the 1350kg pressure plate and its nothing, not difficult at all, in fact I like the 30% or so added resistance.

Brief description of the product. Read these three sections first.

http://www.carbonetic.net/products/twinandtriple.html

http://www.carbonetic.net/products/clutch.html# Then click the "Click to see more features" link.

http://www.carbonetic.net/products/blade.html

And this link will show you all the options available. Our cars are listed under "Skyline V35". The part number for the one I have is ACN23285L-14.

http://www.carbonetic.nl/match/others_nissan.html

The "L" at the end means it's the kit with the lightweight flywheel. The "-14" part means its the one with the 1350kg pressure plate. "-11" means the 1100kg pressure plate which is just like the OEM clutch.
