The clutches are exactly the same between UK models and imports, the pivot ball is slightly different on 2003 models (it's the longer version).

 

We would recommend the JWT kit if you're not too bothered about some slight chatter on idle and at low RPM's.

For the most OEM sound and feel, you can go for the JWT clutch paired with a LUK dual mass flywheel.

The clutches in the 350 early JDM import cars are slightly different, however, the stock OEM Exedy clutch kit and bearing with the LUK DMF is a suitable replacement as are most aftermarket kits.

 

Be careful with the clutch fork which will probably be mild steel, so swop it out for the heavy cast type. and as Coz has said the pivot balls.
