Time for a new clutch + flywheel suggestions?

Hey guys, my car is in the shop as we speak, its a 1991 180sx from Japan, and the clutch went out. They called me back today letting me know i needed a new clutch and flywheel. Ive had my eyes set on an exedy stage 1 kit EXEDY Stage 1 Clutch Kit S13/S14 SR20DET 06803B as my car probably makes no more than 250-300 ft lbs torque, but i have no idea what flywheel I should get. Any input would be greatly appreciated on what kind of set up I should go with, and maybe even some deals that you guys know of?? Thanks alot!

Cheapest answer, stay with the stock flywheel. Just get it resurfaced.

I don't believe this is an option, aftermarket clutch and flywheel were already in it.

A hyper single would be good, but at that point throw another $500 for a twin disk of some kind.

It does not matter if you have an aftermarket flywheel or OEM, it will need re-surfacing (meaning made flat on the friction side)

Have a look on frsport or enjuku racing, both places have decent clutch kits suitable for your needs for under $500, should not cost more than $75 to have your flywheel re-surfaced, cheaper than a new one.

I meant, if you're gonna spend that much on a clutch, go all out.

You should only buy as much clutch as you need.

A crazy aggressive clutch will increase the wear on your transmission and axles.

Well, You could always talk to Bardabe, they did good work with RPS and though I didn't get the one I wanted, they worked something out and now I have an Aluminum JWT Flywheel and 300ZX Clutch and Flywheel from them too. My setup feels super stock with a Nismo Slave but I know I've got crazy headway.

Alright, Ill ask the shop tomorrow if they can re-surface the flywheel. I mean my car does have a few modifications like fmic, pretty sure the turbo is the same (dont know really as the car was already modified in japan before i bought it) stock size, and standard bolt-ons like the filter, exhaust, and lots of suspension parts which probably don't matter in the case of clutch selection, so i doubt its more than 250ft/lbs tq.

I can hook you up with an RPS Sport 6 puck which is good for about 340ft/lbs of torque (around 400hp). I hold the best prices on these clutches period. We have plenty in stock let me know if it's something you'd be interested in.
