So, any suggestions as to what I should get?
Racing, performance, brands???

it's an 89 turbo, and it's my dd.

Like to get the best bang for my buck, and cheapest if possible, on a very tight budget.

well if you plan on doing anything over 300 hp you might wanna get something better than stock.
you could get like the stage 1 spec clutch. cheapest i know of is.

I would reccomend just spending the money now, and leave yourself room to go up in performance. I know you are on a budget, but pulling the tranny once for a good clutch is easier than pulling it twice to upgrade. I went with the RPS 3200lb pressure plate and 6-puck disc. It leaves me PLENTY of room for more performance. I would recommend at least a Spec Stage 3. But as you said you are on a budget. Just get the best you can afford.

do you know how much just the clutch by it self cost?
Hopefully my mech will price it as good as yours.

RPS....never replace it lol although itll cost you roughly the price of a nice downpayment

I would use the spec stage 2 disk with the stock pressure plate.

A stock PP and stock disk will hold 400 rwhp/tq. A stock PP and 6 puck will hold a little over 500rwhp/torque.

"73' 240Z 7MGTE 533 rwhp / 2500 lbs."

:dunno:

My experience differs in that my stock clutch gave out at about 320rwtq, and was not heavily worn or improperly broken in. I think your numbers would be legit for a 2500lb car but not a 3500lb MK3.

 

[DrBowser3]

My setup cost me $630 for the PP and Disc, I threw in a new throwout, hub, and all springs and clips. Hopefully I dont see it for awhile. I think my setup holds around 700 lb/ft of torque.

I think weight does play a small part in it but I have dynoed at both power levels were weight doesn't matter. When I did have slippage with both setups it always started in 4th gear, both times at only 2 psi more than I ran on the dyno.

This is going to cost, but if you cut corners you do it again.Why get a car that takes lots of money to get going, and then have a low budget to repair it. Tight budgets and MKIII's only end up in failure or sales. That said get a cheap replacement clutch and be done. Also don't modify the car because it will take more than a tight budget to keep it going. :1poke:
