I am rebuilding my engine and putting in an ACT NS1-HDSS, rated up to 370lbs of torque. The only thing is the release bearing in the kit that is for RWD SR20's but you can keep your current bearing if its still good.
I dont know if they ship to UK but that seems like the best deal I could find:

What kind of budget are you looking at Tony (aprox)
AP Racing does a 284lbft organic clutch for around £300

I managed 278ft lbs at 290 bhp at 1bar so what bhp will you be running tony?
If your budget is tight, have you had a look on eBay?
(Unknown?) Organic clutch. £200
Paddle Clutch from the same place. £340
Exedy Racing Clutch - I think you've already seen this one? £275
Probably the same clutch from someone else (this time it's described as a stage 1 organic ultra fiber) £289.99 with free delivery - so about the same price.
Exedy Stage 2 - £270 but it's coming from Japan so it's £52 postage
(Unknown) Paddle clutch - ~£310 (bidding). The best paddle clutch available is what they say. Maybe they mean, "the best paddle clutch we have available"!?
Organic clutch from the same people - £195, and this one is the best organic clutch available.
Problem solved; if those are the best available you should buy them! Why would they lie about how good their product is? :der:
There are also a few selling OEM (blueprint) clutches, but I'm guessing you don't want it slipping under the increased power so I'm ignoring them.

Stay well clear of the last one on the list there are lots of warning post on here explaining why.
Really... the best organic clutch available isn't really the best one?
I thought it just must be so good that they don't even need a brand for it... or maybe that is the brand: It's a The Best clutch, and they sell both a paddle and an organic version!?
Yes, that must be it. My bad - I obviously didn't understand their description.

go for the exedy organic. its more than capable of servicing your current requirements and will give you room to upgrade if you wish later on. this is on my R and several others and seems to be good to 350-370ftlb (mines 350) kirko just went upto 400ftlbish and his has just started slipping. these are also quite pleasant to drive with. I picked mine up brand new for circa £220 with release bearing. and some advice..... renew the hydraulic system if its old/original. this will make a significant improvement. also me and dave spaced the pivot whilst the box was off last time and the clutch feels much better.

I offer no real opinion of it - just that I'm wary of auctions that don't specify a brand and make bold claims like "the best".
I have a Nismo paddle clutch in mine (or so I was told), but I have no idea what they're worth or even where you could buy one. I've never had any problems with it, but then I don't have big power, and I don't launch it (well, not very often).

Stay well clear of techniclutch theives.
Do a search, its been well documented on here and on many other forums that they are terrible clutches and a terrible company to deal with.
