Default JWT Flywheel... good mod.

It was installed by the dealer... first time I drove it felt the difference in TR (the car feels more smooth)... after I drive it a couple of hour I start to drive it hard... the clutch slip in 2nd 3rd and 4th... I begin to think they was something wrong... I just keep driving hard for another 50 miles and the car slip less everytime, in the nigth I race w my bro and the car slip just a little and with that I saw difference since I step on it on 1st gear to top end... today the car feels more normal and I'm sure this mod help the engine all the way, 1st gear to top end... the car feels that need it all alone!

P.S. someone expirience this slip thing... how much to break-in if any?

There has been an issue lately with JWT Flywheels bolts backing off. make sure your dealership used loctite when tightening them!

My flywheel did not come with bolts, aside from the bolt that distinguishes between Z and G35/Maxima. I used the stock bolts. Are there different bolts?

I am assuming that the OE clutch was reused so, it may be possible that the OE clutch disk was unevenly worn to match the OE flywheel so, with the new flywheel the disc is not is full contact yet. This may cause the disc to slip until it re-seats itself. Did the installer suggest a new clutch? I would have done it just to ensure that it seats properly...

Webcar, does your flywheel make the chatter or grinding sound? I heard that they will chatter if its not balanced properly with the clutch and if that you need a sprung hub clutch to balance it. Do you know if that is true?

Well in the begining there was NO grinding sound and now you can hear it sometimes! everybody else have the sound... I know they install it very carefully step by step but I'm not sure they use a sprung hub clutch to balance it, I assume they did!

hope this help!
