I'm thinking about getting a new clutch for my 350z with 26000 miles on the clock. I've been doing some research and narrowed down to two clutch i might consider. The first is clutch master stage 1 or 2, and ACT SS. Which one of these two clutches you would recommend in terms of streetability, smooth engagement, and power holding capability? I also might purchase a Flywheel combo if everything falls into place. thanks..

 

We sell all of those and more...

Most popular set up on the 350Z on here is the JWT Flywheel with JWT Clutch...

You can also use the NISMO Clutch which has a little less clamping force but is more expensive... But has a solid hub clutch disc which makes for a more aggressive engaugement... but not very noticable...

JWT Flywheel is 14lbs...

NISMO Flywheel is 23lbs...

Stock is like 32 and dual mass...

Since the aftermarket flywheels are single piece, they will expose the flywheel chatter that the dual mass flywheel absorbs...

Isn't the Nismo dual-mass as well? I thought that was the one thing that set it apart from the others.

 

why not a clutch masters stage 3? i have a brand new clutch kit with pressure plate throw out bearing ect brand new for 350 dollars

 

No its just heavier, and steel...

 

Is the flywheel chatter annoying? Like how bad is it?

 

not bad at all -- spend some time with a tilton fw/clutch and you'll get a new appreciation of what annoying is

 

What about the ACT package? Is that any good?

 

+1

Can't wait to change out my Tilton.

 

ACT + Their Pro Light flywheel is an awesome setup

or, we have a new flywheel we're offering now that is the same as several popular units on the market (same foundry makes them) but alot less costly

 

Keep us posted.

 

+1 on the all ACT setup. I have the ACT Street disc with Stage 1 pressure plate. I also have a JWT flywheel but deeply regret not waiting for the ACT Prolite flywheel to be in stock. Its the best flywheel and clutch setup (all ACT setup) I've driven on to date.

 

Can someone link these individual items together so I could check them out and for a total pricing.

 

clutchmasters sucks.. all i got to say. (3 months and my clutch was gone)

 

You must drive like a crazy man then! I would say that's your driving Habits....

 

for those interested in the ACT setups:

we just sold out of clutches, but more are arriving shortly (hopefully end of this week)

But, when they do come back in, we're doing a special with the clutch/flywheel and we'll include our stainless steel clutch line for free!!

 

which flywheel is the way to go? streetlite or prolite? Is their a noise difference? is the prolite too light for daily street driving? any drwbacks to going prolite over streetlite?

 

I prefer the Pro Light personally - its a bit lighter but not so light so as tyo cause driveability issues.

 

Ditto. The Prolite flywheel was far more noticeable in regards to revving up the motor. Its not anymore noisy then the Streetlite either. My opinion get the Prolite. Completely streetable.

 

update here whenever possible as i'm eyeing a used act setup in the classified....thanks.
