What's the best clutch for 2008 Infiniti G37s

My clutch is going out pretty bad, it's starting to slip and I have to let my clutch pedal more than halfway out to start moving. I bought a dual mass flywheel buy the company called "luk" all I need is to buy is my clutch, I'm just not to sure which one to get

There is no "best" anything. There are tons of parts out there and each one has strengths and weaknesses. What's best for you is highly dependent on what's important to you. How about describing what your expectations and desires are in a clutch?

JWT is a good choice as well as southbend for replacements also add a z speed concentric slave cylinder as well so you don't have any problems with the oem one

You mean a clutch that will hold extra power you plan to add to the car in the future? Because most any clutch on the market is adequate for stock power levels and any bolt ons and flash tune you throw at it. The only way you'll need any additional holding power is if you plan to turbo or supercharge. The clutches that will hold up to this type of power can be used on the street, but they are not refined or comfortable for daily driving.

Oh I'm not planning on adding any of that. So what would you recommend for a daily use clutch ?

Almost anything. One that's an OEM replacement type. Stage 2 or 3 clutches or racing discs are just going to wear out your left leg unnecessarily and provide no extra benefit. Exedy. ACT. Spec. Southbend. These are a few. There's many more OEM equivalent discs that will do just fine.

Like I originally posted. Stick with the OEM replacement. Stuff like Stage 2, 3 is unnecessary for your setup. Plus anything above stage 1 will prolly get you a bunch of clutch chatter and harsh acceleration from a dig. Unless you really concentrate of shifting.

i bought a dual mass flywheel by "luk", would a stage 1 southbend clutch be okay with it ?

if memory serves from when i was working with my clutch/flywheel, 'LUK' is the OE manufacturer of our clutch and flywheel parts so it sounds like the OP has an OEM flywheel. if it was me i'd just go ahead and slap on an OE pressure plate and disc.

Running a Exedy OEM replacement on mine. Moderately stiffer and the flywheel isn't dual mass, so it's much noisier than Nissan OEM clutch. But Exedy is also significantly cheaper.

My friend just got a south bend stage2 and it rides really nice for daily driving. Just make sure if you go aftermarket you buy the HD slave cylinder.
