Hey everyone, I know clutches have been talked about to DEATH and I've spent the last 2 days researching everything and I think I've found the perfect clutch for me, but I can't find any reviews on it so It's kind of a crap shoot.

I trust conceptzperformance, they seem to only sell really good clutches like exedy, jwt, and southbend. So I have no reason to believe that their clutch wouldn't be good. I'm saving about $200 over the southebend clutch I was considering, which holds 100 more ft-lbs of torque. This is a mostly stock 350z nismo and I don't drive the car hard. I don't think I'll ever come close to the czp clutch's ratings of 375ft-lbs and 400hp. It should be plenty good for daily driving. I also am going to get the Z speed performance HD CSC since my throw out bearing is bad.

My question is, has anyone tried the czp clutch kit and with the upgraded csc should it be a reliable daily driver clutch? I've just heard too many horror stories of clutches going out 2 months after installing. Again, I don't do clutch dumps or launch the car, I drive pretty normally.

Anyway, thanks for the help in advance, I'm loving the car so far. Kind of sucks that I just bought it and have had to put $1500+ into it but I got the car for 4k under nada/blue book price so I was expecting to have to put some money into the car anyway. I will have her road worthy soon enough!

 

i would do the zspeed hd slave over that one.... in all honesty, their clutch is prob just and unbranded big manufacturer clutch. do the proper break in and you will be fine

 

Isn't that what I'm getting? the kit said zspeed performance hd concentric slave cylinder. What's the difference? Thanks for the reply.

 

on that link, i dont see anything that mentions zspeed csc, that looks look an oem unit in the pics

this is the zspeed unit

 

Yeah, you can chose between the oem or zspeed one in the options below. I am definitely going with the upgraded one. I'm just hoping I don't have issues with the clutch after a few months. Edit: one more question, is it worth replacing the master cylinder too and the clutch lines? I'm kind of on a budget here, if it can wait I'll do it later but idk if it's easier to just do everything at once.

 

okay, i didnt do the drop downs for options

i did, just because i was always told to replace the master and slave at the same time.... dont think it is truly necessary though

 

Get a clutch with a stock disk. No point in getting one that aggressive. It's not going to last any longer.

I'm at 295whp and 335tq and I have a stock clutch.

Upon looking further. I realize that's just a stage 1 clutch

Edit again. Make sure you inspect the pressure plate prior to installation!

 

I'm trying to stay away from an ebay clutch, because of the bad experiences I've heard. The CZP kit is about $180 more and that's not counting the slave cylinder since I'm getting the upgraded one. So I'm hoping the price difference is reflected in a higher quality clutch. I will certainly have my mechanic look at it before installing. I have heard CZP has no problem sending you a new clutch if it comes damaged. What should I be looking for on the pressure plate though?

 

IT'S THE SAME CLUTCH!!

The "springs" plates that are riveted to the edge.(not sure what they are called) I had one generic clutch that had one of the plates mounted on the wrong side. I was unable to fully disengage the clutch because of this.

 

I highly recommend saving and spending a little more for the CMAK instead of the HD replacement.
