hi im planning on replacing my clutch sometime in the near future from your normal wear and tare and was wondering if anyone knows what comes in the base model 350z.

 

Nissan OEM Clutch...

 

i think all the z's come with the same clutch. Im not positive but i think its a exedy clutch. I think i remember searching for stock clutches and finding exedy brand clutches. 2003 touring 80k miles original clutch still feels perfect and i dont baby it

 

stage 1, stage 2 exedy? or just exedy?

 

Hmm, Mine's at 61k and it slips every once in a while when cold. Plan on changing it out for a JWT Clutch/Flywheel.
JWT Clutch <--- Pretty much a rebadged clutch


If you plan on getting a new clutch, invest a little more and get a flywheel along with it. IMO, don't bother getting a stock clutch.

 

All the OEM Z clutches are the same---I tossed mine in the trash can at 15,000 miles

 

yeah i was thinking of maybe going with clutch master with maybe a stage 2 but i called a guy at a shop and he asked me how i like to drive my car. i told him i dont race anymore i just want one right for a stock z and a new one. he told me no need for the clutch master just buy the stock one.

 

If you look around the Drivetrain forum, you'll see why everyone hates the stock clutch. If you don't race, a Stage 2 prob isn't worth it. A simple Stage 1 or equivalent will be adequate for you.

 

so if i dont race should i buy the fly wheel and pressure plate and all that good stuff or do you just reccomend the stage 1 clutch by itself?

 

Well ---Its just damn cheaper to go with Aftermarket and a whole lot better ---I re-clutch Ford Power-Strokes and they run the same design---I throw them in the trash can too

 

i have no problem with my stock clutch on my 03. I wouldnt need anything more i dont track my car but i drag occasionaly in Dpa or Brooklyn. I drove my freinds 06 and his clutch did suck. My clutch has more miles on it but mostly highway felt 3x better stiffer and more bite then his.

 

I was surprised to find out that exedy makes a lot of stock clutches.

 

got it, aftermarket it is.

 

If you'll have to pay to have yours resurfaced, why not trade the stock 30+ lbs flywheel for a 10-20lbs flywheel that performs a bit better?
If money is an issue, resurface the oem flywheel and pair it up with an aftermarket clutch.
If you want to spend some money, flywheel/clutch combo is nice.

 

how much will that usually go for?

 

yeh if ur gunna pay for the labor might as well change to a Am flywheel

 

JWT Clutch - $412
JWT Flywheel - $375
