Alright, now that I have my car running great and a 55 shot of nitrous, I'm looking for a functional mod for my kade. Its gotta be between 200-300 bucks, I have my top three, but am really torn between them. Any other suggestions? Its already got intake, exhaust, 91cams, lsd.(btw, they all are what I want to do, its just a hard choice to make.

It would be silly to do the just the flywheel or just the clutch, if you're gonna be in there might as well do both. So if you can't do those at the same time then I say go with the driveshaft. The aluminum driveshaft on my 300ZX saved a ton of weight and the car revs much happier.

Good point, I don't really need to be going in there twice...hopefully he still has the driveshaft. I think the sale is pending.

lol. I didnt want to point that out to him. Maybe he'da caught it. I found a flywheel for a good price through a friend (12# Stillen), so now the clutch is attainable. Its looking good.

If you are getting a good deal on the DriveShaft then do that first, otherwise just wait and do the Flywheel and Clutch combo.

Don't get a new clutch unless yours is wearing out.

I say get the driveshaft... Or get some solid suspension...

I voted clutch. You should save and get what you want when you are definite.

Drive shaft is what i would do especially after hitting it with NOS tighten up your drivetrain a lil bit...although clutch and flywheel would be good....but im not crazy about the alum. flywheel....ide go with the billet one, nobody who is serious about thier car being dependable uses a aluminum flywheel they are designed for race when a motor is torn down after race or whatever. I think a combo of clutch, flywheel and alum driveshaft will suit you nicely.

btw Im in St Pete not too far from ya...ide like to see that NOS setup im thinking of doing it also.

DOOM out.

Sorry guys I can't read. I misread about the lsd thing. I say you close your eyes and and go with anyone. Your probably going to get them eventually right? BTW, do the clutch and flywheel in one pop so you don't disturb the transmission more than you need too.

Yup, well the flywheel went to the obo and the driveshaft was sold about a week ago. Back to square one. I'm glad you (doom) informed me about the aluminum vs. billet. I'll definitely go with billet now. I really, really wanted that driveshaft too...Off to the classifides!

don't worry about aluminum flywheels...a relatively stock kade isn't gonna be blowing it to pieces any time soon.

lol well then ignition upgrade is the only option left on your list that makes sense. Guess other people made up your mind for you by buying the flywheel and driveshaft.
