Sub'd. My stock clutch has been having some minor slipping issues lately. I was thinking about upgrading to the SPEC clutch as mentioned above. Someone also suggested to me to change the master cylinder when I replace the clutch.

What type of Abuse? Drag racing?

You can kill any clutch if you use it improperly.

6 puck ceramic or a twin disk.

You can't really hurt ceramic but you can wear it out...

South Bend has a very good 6 puck ceramic, It uses bigger pucks and tends to last a bit longer than others. Also drives a little better.

JWT is an organic clutch material, This is the last thing you would want to use at the drag strip.

Our HD slave will work great with the JWT but I would definitely not recommend an organic clutch at the drag strip.

PM coming.

Default consider to change the CSC!

JWT & Flywheel combo imo is the best bang for your $$, it all depends of what do you do with your car.... if it's a DD or Weekend car that you just commute in the city/highway STAY STOCK!! as all you know our OEM CSC (CENTRIC SLAVE CYLINDER) is the biggest piece of crap ever!...once you change to any aftermarket clutch you must change to a Heavy Duty CSC (all metal)..... the stock csc is a time bomb waiting to happen..oem CSC is made out of plastic .if you change your clutch to an aftermarket clutch and neglect the csc and it brakes(about 10k miles) you have to drop your transmission and start again In my case i autocross about 20 or more events per year.. and drive it about 10k miles year..for me is a must..
I HAD 3 350Zs and 2 of them ware HRs 07 touring and 08 Nismo and this problem happened to me and many others...dont let it happen to YOU ! lol

I'm looking at a ACT 6 puck (don't know if I want sprung or unsprung yet) and a light flywheel with a customZ slave. Or a OSG twin disk.

Something along those lines.

Default Cement mixer?

I hear all the time that the light weight flywheels sound like cement mixers. So here are some
videos of cement mixers.

1.

2.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXq_V...eature=related
3.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVnLq...eature=related

1&2 are the same(ish)

3. is tossing pebbles


I would like to know if the Z with light weight FW sounds like this, or some other variation?

Could someone post a video of what their car sounds like with a new light weight flywheel?


Thanks so much,
The Muffs
