From everything I have heard, I am going with the ACT unit. I know the Nissan unit would be fine, but I have hopes of abusing my Maxima on a road course some time possibly in the future, so better would be good. I think the ACT is about the same price as the Nissan so that makes the decision easier. I installed an ACT clutch in a friend's '95 RX-7 and I was very impressed with the quality of the components. I removed a Racing Beat clutch that lasted 300 miles with 50 of those being on Sears Point - the clutch lost a section of the disc that was about 1/3 of the whole surface - it just snapped off. I compared the RB and the ACT and there was no comparison - the ACT was clearly the better built product. It has been fine BTW for a few thousand miles and 3 track outings since.
