Just ordered these bushing. Does anyone have these bushing on their car. What is the difference between these and the OEM version? Does it really shift better? What is your experience?

:good question.. I just changed my clutch with a friend.. Actually he did it and I helped.. But yea Id like to know the difference.. The oem pilot bearing is a ***** to get out.. Actually couldnt get it out if we tried.....
Most nissan dealerships dont carry the nismo bearing.. Oh and its a bearing.. Not bushing... Bushings are polyurethane and flexible FYI..

 

Well, i guess they call it bushings. I already have the throwout bearing for my Nismo Clutch, i just needed this part to complete the setup since it is recommended to replace while the clutch is out. Just need some more info just in case i have the wrong part.

 

All I know is the the OEM bearing doesn't last long under hard track use.

 

The price that I sell both the OEM and the Nismo I tell people to get the nismo since it is a roller type and be done with it.Might as well go with one that is better than oem.

 

Ok so we are both partly right .. Its a Roller bearing Pilot bushing.. Yes, I did change my throwout bearing as it was making huge amounts of noise.. It makes a huge difference too..

Get the Nismo Pilot bushing/bearing and tell me if any difference....

 

You got it. I shoud have a write up next week after they are installed.

 

Cool.. Thanks.. After closing up the tranny.. I felt the OEM bearing didnt deserve to be with all the nismo goodies...... But I had no choice as the stealership had none in stock nor did they carry or have a part number..

 

I don't think Nismo ever made a throwout bearing for the Z. But i could be wrong. If they ever have one, i'm going to be the first one on it.

 

It's not a "Nismo" piece. I got one. They are on backorder from Nissan. Took me 3 weeks to get one.

 

Hm....I called Courtesy. They checked on the availability,and apparently they had one in stock. So I ended up ordering from them. If they are not Nismo, who makes them?

 

I didnt mean to say a Nismo throwout.. I was talking Nismo Pilot Bearing/Bushing.. If you do get a Nismo throwout hook me up with the part number!!

 

I was talking about the pilot bearing, not the throwout. But if Nismo ever makes a throwout bearing, i will be on it.

 

ROFL!!! You are a comedian!! LMAO..

Me too then..... Ok we were both tracking.....

 

 

It's just a Nissan part.

 

oh, why put nismo on it..lol? Nissan, they just love to out nismo on everything.

 

I don't know about yours, but mine had nothing about Nismo on it.

 

Just got my car back from Zcar. I still need to break in the clutch even though it was used for 900 miles. Flywheel sound like a cement around2k-2.5k. I think its normal for JWT flywheels and aftermarket clutch. It defnitely grabs better and harder than stock, but nowhere near the ACT and other clutches that grabs like crazy. Its very driveable and forgiving. Definitely a plus in my book...Nismo clutch and JWT flywheel

 

What pressure plate do you have? Nismo?
