SilenTKK8 Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Hey guys, I got a query about my current OEM Clutch & Flywheel. I just got off the phone with Nissan Parts/services dept about replacing my clutch. And the guy told me the clutch & flywheel that are used by 350z is a dual mesh setup.. he than said when the clutch plate is wearing out, this will also have the same effect on the flywheel which may end up having to change the flywheel as well.. Is this true?? Thanks in advance Ray Quote
dcash5 Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Yep its a dual mass flywheel and the tension can wear over time. My clutch outlived my flywheel. Doesn't mean you cant replace with a single mass flywheel that has been lightened and balanced aswell for some added va va vroom. Envy or ZmanAlex are the guys to speak to Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Bout time you posted on here, lol While we are here, can somebody recommend any traders that may have standard or uprated clutch kits and flywheels and appoximate costs involved? Quote
dcash5 Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I would budget £500 - £800 on parts depending on application type Im running Fidanza flywheel and Exedy OEM type clutch MartinMac is running JWT Quote
ZMANALEX Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Exedy oem replacement clutch kits in stock £295.00 Single mass lightened aluminium Fidanza flywheels also in stock £295.00 Pm me if you have any questions or quite happy to talk this through on the phone. Alex. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 Since I live in the same town as Ray, does anybody know a good place that can fit these items? rtbiscuit, could you ask Team AFM how much they would charge for something like this? (Seeing as you are the only contact with them afaik) Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 TGM in fleet did mine How much did they charge for fitting? Or did they supply the parts too? Quote

SilenTKK8 Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 thx for the info guys, been to CS shop today and had it checked out by one of the mechanics. Seems like it is getting to the point where it needs replacing. Guess I'll have to start saving up a bit.. Quote
SilenTKK8 Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 Thanks for all your input. I finally got my clutch sorted!! I decided to go for the Exedy clutch kit and Fidanza flywheel in the end. All thanks to CS who sorted out the parts and install. Great Service!! (I'm sure BM will start posting all the pics he took during the install) We did get some issues when I started my journey back home. The gearstick jammed when trying to shift from 5th into 6th and also vice versa. Also, when I was driving on M1 in 6th gear, I noticed some noise coming from below the gearstick... Gave CS a quick call and within minutes, we were heading back to the garage. Andy had a quick look and sorted out all the issues within 15 mins. (Gearstick linkage cover, slightly misaligned gear selector plate) Thanks again to CS and Andy for great service Quote
Chris`I Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Glad you got it all done buddy! Was going to say its just the gate that needed adjusting slightly, can sometimes happen Quote
