The clutch kit, buy the luk kit pn 07233 on rock auto. It's $500 and change with shipping. Plan a couple of days on the weekend to r&r the transmission.
Exedy = OEM, I'd take that over ANY other manufacturers for the platform other than Nismo.
I've been rocking the Exedy kit for about a year now, very happy with it. It's responsive enough where I can have fun, still light but with no chatter. I've driven a 2 stage clutch Z33 before and it was way too heavy for for DD imo. Can't speak on Z1, but I love exedy.
I ordered the exedy OE clutch kit from ftspeed. About to have it installed next week. And although it doesn't have the white paint dot on it, I seen a comparison between the new and old and it looks like the new. The two tabs don't have the cutout in it like the old one does
I do suggest the Valeo HD clutch kit while you are in there....you could maybe skip replacing the flywheel if it is in good condition, but the more proper thing is to replace it as well. The whole kit is $300 with a new slave cylinder and stainless line.
Retail on OES (Luk) -not cheap-o part) clutch kit is $400 (RETAIL) comes w slave cyl as well. Master cyl is about $100 retail.
I did an Exedy Stage 1, slightly stiffer than stock but a nice feel to it for something you drive regularly
upgrading to the Valeo HD kit is your best course of action when the time comes. Holds more power, is smooth, and doesnt rattle like the single mass flywheels will.
I replaced mine about a year ago with duralast clutch kit from autozone. Kit was about $250, had the flywheel resurfaced and then labor for it all was about $450 I think. All together I think I paid about $800. The duralast clutch comes with a lifetime warranty but honestly I’d go with the exedy oem replacement. Mine works fine but sometimes it’s a little noisy and it feels a bit heavy.
At this point the entire clutch kit gets warrantied and replaced with and Aisin kit. I drive it around 200 miles. The noise is still there, but now there's also a higher pitched metal on metal ring/chatter and the original ratchety sound is less frequent. The pedal still feels like absolute shit. There's still a clack.
