how's the Pressure Plate feel?

my left leg is 2x bigger than my right due to my ACT HDMM on the maxima...

hopefully their TT clutch feels as good as stock?

Don't Know, cause the 300ZX Twin Turbo Clutch system is vacuum assisted, so the JWT TT Clutch feels smoother, and engages very easily.. I don't know how the 350Z system would hold up to it...

The clutch he mentioned is the one for the 300ZX TT, JWT is coming out with Flywheel for the 350Z.

We are placing an order for the OS Giken Super Single Clutches on Monday. If you are interested in these please let us know ASAP since they are usually presold before we even get them from Japan. They can be seen here:

and we are also running a special on the JWT Flywheel and RPS Max clutch for the 350Z's which can be seen here:

Just remember that somewhere along the drivetrain, something absorbs some of the additional stress. The most obvious is your tires. Not a big deal. However, your tranny and differential bear much of the stress of having a stronger pressure plate, so expect problems later on.

The JWT TT Clutch is only good to about 500 Rwhp. You would need a food 6 puck clutch like the RPS to hold that type of power. Or better yet a OS Giken twin disc

well.. slapping on a turbo isnt going to be that big of a deal...

the drivetrain of the car endure more torque in first gear from the stock engine than any turbo can produce in 2nd gear.. most clutch problems will come from bad driving habits. hehe. whoops.. but the tranny should be able to hold... i mean. if you are hard on the launch all the time in first.. the turbo should be able to spool up for adequate boost levels until far past 3k.. and thats if i'm riding the clutch down..

a stronger clutch for fast engagements is a good idea.. but i worry about the slush box automagics that might go boost later.. then yes. tranny will have to be beefed up...


Nissan350ZTT: thanks bro!
