Please recommend me Clutch and Flywheel kit. My Z (2005) is not forced and I don't make drag or drift racing so I'm looking for normal, not so expensive kit, but must to be good and without producing any noise.
I know there is a lot of threads about clutches and flywheels, but I could not find answer.

 

Given all that, I don't see any reason to NOT go with OEM - which is quite a good unit with good life in the hands of someone non-abusive.

Elsewise, perhaps the most recommended and therefore pretty much the go-to aftermarket unit for Z cars is the JWT high performance unit. On that note as well, since you mentioned not wanting noise and no track or other, ahem, "demanding" use, when replacing the OEM dual mass flywheel, consider using the JWT iron flywheel. Similar to OEM engagement and has replaceable friction surface so it should last through at least two clutch changes.

OEM

 

what is noisy to one isn't noisy to another. i have several friends that have the JWT kit and it isn't any worse than my oem was.

 

I get that, Trav. But I guarantee that when going to a lightweight aluminum flywheel, all of the other undesirable-for-the-street maladies that accompany a lightweight will cause at least 50% of people who went that route based on a recommendation rather than a test drive to say, "Hmmm, this isn't so great."

The necessity to keep one's foot in it on the freeway, the increased tranny rattle (that is typically kept at a minimum with a flywheel of near stock weight), the unnecessary grab on every launch is enough to keep me running iron on the street. I learned that lesson 30 years ago.....

But that's just MY preference. I'm conservative in regard, preferring to look for gains in other places.... like a different line into a turn or mechanically, a good diff and shorter gears.

 

Mic could you write a book on how to keep your street car fit for the street? Im pretty sure my transmission was replaced under warrantee about 35k miles ago. Although my exhaust sure looks like it was never unmounted unless they somehow worked around it. Or they just told the po they replaced it but really just plugged in a new sensor or something.

 

Act street lite flywheel, act stage one clutch u can get both from modern automotive performance for $800 shipped. Great people and act is amazing company.

 

DBA, if the transmission was indeed replaced - especially under warranty - Nissan will have a record of it. Go to ANY Nissan dealership and have them print you out the service records for your car. Anything Nissan does to your car will be in the system by VIN. (Pretty much same for any mfgr/dealer network.) That will include all recalls and for sure, any warranty work.

S'far as keeping a street car fit.... regular, documented service according to the mfgr recommendations and fix any problems along the way promptly and with quality parts ONLY. DIY, trusted service shop, Nissan dealership, no matter. If one cannot or prefers not to DIY, then pay for it. That's it.

And relatedly, if the car is or going to be modified, use the best parts ONLY. If one cannot afford the best parts, hold off until you can. Pay now or pay later....one's own choice.
