didnt mean to quote you i wanted to quote the other dude just forgot to delete the first one. didnt help i was hammered lmao. and i hear you. i have a 68 camarao ive been meaning to finish but my z got all the attention lately

 

lol, who is the "other dude" have you been chatting up the other boys again? *runs away crying*

We should have a sub forum for posting our non-z projects

You should add pix of your Camaro to your garage so I can see your car without cluttering up this thread.

 

You do, it's here: https://my350z.com/forum/other-vehicles-67/

 

have 2 side projects going on XD, have another boosted z i bought that had blown a headgasget that im part of the way through fixing just about have the motor pulled out but the holidays didnt leave me with much time to work on it :P, pull motor get some cosworth headgasgets redeck heads reinstall, sell z then using that money to finish the camaro :P still need to decide on a motor to run in it XD

 

I would probably put a fully built bored, stroked and TT'd LS7 in there if I were you, but only cause the motor is so cheap :ROFL:

 

na thinking a 572 big block fuel injected and supercharged with a big blower

 

soooo the JWT combo won't last with the latest version of OEM CSC?

 

Nope. Gotta get the HD slave.

 

Just ordered new clutch kit with flywheel..
After i bought a car,under 500 miles,clutch just start to slipp.Seller probably just "fixed" clutch for selling!
here in Croatia i have 2 options,helix clutch and flywheel and clutchmasters combo!
Ordered Clutchmasters(fx400) because is only available,and cost me 2600$(i know price in USA and iam really dissapointed with my shop)
Now i only want to know,is someone of you guys use Clutchmasters fx400 and how it works?
OEM is more expencive here and waiting time for flywheel at Nissan Croatia is 30-45 days (1000$ price), 1200$ for clutch and plate,and 300$ for throw out bearring,so i decidet to go with clutchmasters solution!

Regards

 

I think I could have had Superman himself deliver you a clutch cheaper than that.

 

i agree with that !
ontopic, any feedback about clutchmasters?

 

FX400 is a puck clutch, It is going to drive pretty bad on starts, Chatter ect.

Clutchmaster are not bad clutches in general but the kit you chose is good for drag racing and not so much for everyday street driving, Pretty rough clutch.

 

Here you go, Took the time to try a few different flywheels in our 370Z over the last few weeks, The South Bend is definitely the quietest available.
The 18lb unit is VERY loud under 2500 RPM under load and rattles like a worn out diesel at idle.
The South Bend is completely quiet at idle and rattles some under 2500 RPM under load with a rigid disk, It is quieter with a sprung hub clutch and not bad at all compared to the 18lb units which are unbearable to me.

18LB AC* (Yes I said 17lb in the video)

South Bend DXD Flywheel Below available from us. This was taken with our Rigid hub TZR clutch kit which is a bit louder than the sprung hub clutches.

Nice side by side video comparison.
From the thread https://my350z.com/forum/nismo-350z/...-flywheel.html it shows the stock flywheel at 12.5 kg, or 27.56 lbs. From the ZSpeed website, it mentions a reduction of over 7 lbs for the DXD flywheel compared to stock. So I'm guessing the weight of the DXD is around 20 lbs or so. That's pretty good considering it's a couple lbs away from the 18 lbs. I'm assuming design has a lot to do with it, but does weight (i.e. 2 lbs) make that much of a difference as far as chatter?

 

DXD is exactly 25 lbs now, stock is close to 32

I am sure the material has a lot to do with it also, The South Bend flywheels are milled from 4140 billet steel, The others are stamped out steel from? They ring when you tap on them because they are so thin to make them lighter. The South Bend has lots of meat behind the friction area of the disk to dissipate heat.

 

Just picked up and installed the South Bend flywheel with the TZR clutch in my 2007 350z. I also put in the Heavy Duty CSC from Joe at zspeed. It has been ~550 miles so far and it is pretty much the best clutch setup I have used to date. Highly recommend the parts and thumbs up for Joe!

 

I'm thinking of doing the same... I have a stock HR 07 Nismo but the previous owner had installed an ACT SSHD clutch which obviously has cooked my CSC twice now since I've had it from the 16k/mi point.... 40k now, CSC failed at 27k previously but I was in wi and my hands were tied in regards to fixing it properly, so I just had a dealer put a new slave in, figuring that HD clutch was probably going to fry the CSC again...

Where is your mileage at now and do you have a stock setup besides? Also, how is the clutch feeling? Does it pull or feel high torque? Is it smooth etc... Let me know, thanks! I'm trying to decide on a clutch to go with the HD CSC...

 

I have put on about 3k miles on the new clutch. I cannot begin to describe how much better the pedal feels with the new HD CSC and the TZR clutch. The clutch, flywheel, and CSC are the only aftermarket parts currently on the car. I have many goodies in the garage ready to go in, but finding time has proven to be more difficult than expected. They clutch is extremely smooth and grabs firm with no holding back. Also the clutch can handle a great amount of torque so if you plan on F/I down the line this clutch will be more than sufficient for your needs.

 

I don't know what clutch/flywheel to go with for my '03 350Z with a SC and ~400 Lbt/tq. I am not tracking my car, some times street racing. Some people recommended me SPEC stage3+ but I found some reviews not too good. I can't buy OS Giken because it is too expensive, so what kit would be good and OEM feel like for about $1000 ?

 

South Bend Endurance Stage 3 Great kit! Smooth and holds lots of power!
