mec Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Hi Guys, Been looking around the American sites for a lighten flywheel, yeah I know day two and i'm already putting a mod list together. Would you anyone know what kind of costs I would be looking at to do the flywheel (and probably clutch, as i guess it would be rude not to)? Is this something i should atempt my self if i got use of a ramp, or is it one of those not worth the headache jobs? Cheers, Gi Quote
ab350z Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Funny you should post that, I'm just away to phone round a couple garages for a quote on fitting a lightened flywheel. Was going to ask the same question, clutch at the same time, worth it? Quote
ab350z Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Just off the phone with Jap Performance up near Aberdeen. Clutch/flywheel (which they recommend doing at the same time) is a 7 hour job, and they say you should change the engine oil. Quoted £438 all in! Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 It may also be worth contacting Adam at Z1 performance as he has quite a lot of experience as well as stocking these. Quote

ab350z Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 I've heard good things about the JWT one, only reason i went for ACT is that I got the flywheel for a steal off eBay. I've got it on good authority its best to keep these things in pairs, so i'll be hunting down an ACT clutch. Quote
mec Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Ah ok, i think i was a bit misguided there and thought that included the cost of parts. So these things crop up on ebay, i'll keep an eye out. Any one know of a uk website? Quote
ab350z Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 The one i got was on here but didnt sell so ended up on eBay and I spotted it with 4 mins to go or something, went for £10! If you click the 350Z Wikipedia link just at the top of the page, there's a drivetrain section in there that should tell you more. Quote
lotuscc Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 There are disadvantages to fitting a lightened flywheel (NVH issues) as the 350Z is designed to work with a dual mass flywheel. Gains in performance are minimal. Quote
mec Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 thanks guys, with the NVH issues are they bad with a single mass flywheel on these cars... Quote
