OEM clutchs are great for stock power if you plan on staying stock but they are expensive. (will last long)
Aftermarket will be cheaper and you can buy the one that will meet your specs. Expect to pay anywhere from $275-$350 including pressure plate, disk, and t/o bearing. Don't forget to get your flywheel resurfaced

dont get a aftermarket clutch if you expect 200-230 hp out of that engine... more then likely you will have to turbo the engine to see that, and you might possibly just consider the sr20 swap.

The oem nissan clutch for the datsun 240z (1970-72) from what I hear will fit into your current tranny and should have a stiffer feel.

yeah um, disregard what he said about not getting aftermarket, you'll NEED an aftermarket clutch. Good choice on turboing the KA, I've been reading up on them and they are maddd quick at just 230-240 rwhp. Some guys on NICO forums is running a tiny volvo turbo and is doing 0-60 in 5.3 secs! He's got about 220 at the wheels or so. With the clutch, get ACT or Spec stage II, those have the best reviews for that amount of power.
