While figuring out a clutch solution for my RWD VE conversion without having to buy a 1200-2000$ multi-disc setup, I discovered that one can use a FWD SR flywheel on an RWD SR, coupled with a 1988 Nissan Pulsar (1.8L CA18 model) clutch kit.
The flywheel options are plentiful:

While the Exedy OEM-replacement clutch for the Pulsar would most likely not grab too well since it is made for a lower-output motor, luckily SPEC offers aftermarket kits, which should be more than enough to handle any power:

If my predictions are correct, this should make the motor rev similar to the FWD SR, which with a lightweight flywheel and pulleys is known to rev like a motorbike. :)
