Does anyone have any experience or know of any lightweight clutch combo that does not chatter?

 

i wish u luck ...low rpm chatter seems to be the norm in the z...they r finicky like that

 

Even my stock clutch/flywheel had pretty noticeable chatter.

 

There will always be a level of chatter on any lightweight clutch and flywheel. A full face clutch, like Comp Stage II or JWT will offer much smoother engagement, and less chatter when you pull away from a stop.

If you are talking about the cement mixer noises under load, at 1500rpm to 2500rpm, the lightweight flywheel is the culprit. Stick to the stock flywheel, and just upgrade the clutch, if that is your concern.

 

Just get a louder exhaust!

 

Chatter is your friend. Learn to love it. Nurture it. Call it your own.

 

That's exactly how I'm going to deal with the problem.

I heard that it's best to change the flywheel AND the clutch when upgrading.

An aftermarket clutch will make my clutch pedal stiffer. I doubt I'll see much track time but I do plan on building a 250+ WHP VQDE via bolt-ons.

Is it stupid to upgrade my flywheel but keep the stock clutch? Will the stock clutch hold the increased torque I'll get from my bolt-ons?

 

Pretty sure your stock will hold < 300whp... Would only worry if going FI.

 

Agreed. I figured that clutch could hold a lot.


Now I have a problem with deciding how light to go with a flywheel. I wanted NISMO but according to Z-tech (http://www.*********.com/zwiki/Part:Flywheels) it's only 1 LBS lighter than stock. Big waste of money there.

I'm probably go with the Stillen. However, I heard that lighter flywheels are annoying on dailys. I haven't had much luck with 'search' so can someone link me information on flywheels?

 

Lightened flywheel is usually single mass. Light flywheel without chatter is non existant. Stock one is dual mass and it still makes little noise although it is very faint. If you're looking for non chattering flywheel, lightened one isn't for you. You get more noise, you get free er rev. Live with it I guess.
