I would like to purchase a lighten flywheel and perhaps a stage 1 clutch for my 2004 350z, what do you guys recommend without braking the bank. My budget would be around $500.

would appreciate some expert opinions.

 

You could probably purchase a flywheel or a clutch for $500, but not both, unless you can find a used set. Unless your setup is toast, I would wait till you can acquire both. If you're just looking for a LW flywheel, you can try ACT, JWT, Southbend, etc. Clutches and flywheels can run generally around $400 to $550 each, for single plate applications.

 

Flywheel plus clutch for $500? I don't think so.

 

what are the thoughts on Exedy clutch ? Found it for a decent price on ebay

This is a suitable street clutch for the 350Z. However, I recommend matching this with a Exedy flywheel.
