Clutch, Flywheel, Fork Pivot Ball etc ?

[pcartwright]

Hello,    

 

I will be changing my gearbox over the summer as the synchro is on its way out.  

While I have it all apart I feel it is a perfect time to change the clutch, flywheel, fork pivot ball, slave cylinder etc.  Also, fit my braided clutch line and potentially stiffen the diff mounts. Gearbox currently has a diy hardened mount. 

 

Questions:   

- What is the full list of items I should change (additional to the above) ? 

- Any recommendations, brand, type (hardened / OEM) ?

- Will I need any specialist tools to remove/refit ?

 

I do not want to spend the earth !

 

My car is mainly used on track and looking for strong parts.     

Car has the usual UpRev mods etc.

Hi Peter,

 

We recommend the super famous and reliable JWT kits, depending on your choice on flywheels, these are the 2 options, providing your car is a 350z DE:

These will come with pivot ball, line etc, see the description on each.

 

For slave cylinders see here, depending on your car age:

Unless you're seriously committed to track days I wouldn't recommend the solid gearbox mount, there will be a lot of vibration transferred in the cabin. 

 

For clutch fluid, we recommend either StopTech 600 or Motul RBF 660:
