I havent been on in a while, just logged on to see if I could run an aftermarket flywheel with an OEM 350Z clutch? I can get all the parts for a clutch replacement for like 260 bucks, but I cant find a cheap OEM flywheel so the cheapest options are lightweight aftermarket flywheels...but would they mate up and work well with an OEM clutch disk?

 

No problem. I´m running an oem clutch with jwt flywheel.

 

This place is pretty cheap if you wanted to stay with OEM.

thx guys. secondly how do I know if I even need to replace the flywheel?

 

FYI, in case you need one

http://z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?model...ne&prodid=4109

we stock tons of them

and yes, you can use most aftermarket flywheels - only one I am not sure about is JWT. The ACT, for example, works perfectly, done that combo many times.

 

THe flywheel will wear similar to a brake rotor. If it is gouged or shows a deep wear pattern, replace it.

 

the OEM flywheel is a dual-mass flywheel and weighs about 35lbs light weight flywheel definantly frees up a S ton of throttle response, kills it when lugging around a parking lot though... easy to get used to... and speed shifting into 3rd is going to be much easier

 

stock = 29.9 lbs
