Prices vary based on how aggressive you want your clutch. I'm running the JWT clutch & fly and love it. Not hard on the left foot and takes a good beating from my driving/TT set-up. I ordered mine from Darren at Intense.

Just to give you a rough idea of what your looking at, I put in a new clutch 3 weeks ago in Houston.

Kyle from IPP will take care of you, tell him Nidal the guy that picked up the clutch from his store sent you. I picked up the JWT clutch with tax and everything included for $390 out the door.

As far as labor, I got quoted by 4 different places, and prices ranged from $280-$350 for labor. I ended up going with the $350 b.c. they are good friends and a very reputable shop.

So clutch + labor = 750~800.

I burnt up my JWT clutch on nitrous. RPS, ACT a better choice. JWT flywheel is good. Can fit the Z32TT clutches (a little bigger). Simple flywheel and clutch thats good for 600 ft lbs of torque will run you in the neighborhood of 800-1200.

Twin and Triple disc run 1400-4k with some rated for 1400 ft lbs. Just depends how crazy you wanna get.

You also blew up your motor on Nitrous. LOL I had an ACT "street" clutch in my Evo 8 and like it as well. A bit harder on the left foot but took and be good beating as well. Unless you have plans for built VQ & F/I, I think the JWT is perfect for a N/A (stock/bolt-on) Z33. Kyle @ IPP is a good vendor also. I've dealt with him in the past and very helpful.
