martybhoy Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi guys, I have another group of mods in the works and one soon to follow will be my new clutch and flywheel. I managed to get a hold of a nismo single mass flywheel. I know there is mixed reviews on it but I've decided to go with it. My issue is what other parts do I require when sending it to Infiniti to fit. I have the following; Nismo flywheel Chromoly clutch pivot And nismo roller bearing. Will an exedy oem replacement clutch kit be all I require? Ie clutch, plate and release bearing? Cheers guys first time I've had to replace a clutch on any car.

veilside z Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I just did the clutch replacement the Excedy one buddy, did you feel you needed to do the flywheel too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 My car is on 90k miles. As with all Zeds, it's a little notchy in and out some gears. I think with age/miles a full overhaul would be good for it. Plus a slight improvement in throttle response would be beneficial. Did you change the flywheel? Any clutch gurus out there able to help with my part list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martybhoy Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yep got a braided line and new slave cylinder from Torqen. I will probably use clarks for the clutch kit just wondering about using this flywheel though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 If it's Nismo it shouldn't cause you any pain. I think you'd be bonkers to get her opened up and pay all that labour and not do it at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 It's just recently had the clutch slave cylinder and braided line so the nismo flywheel and clutch will be fitted soon. Then that's it had a full clutch system overhaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Any clutch gurus confirm on the parts I've got/require now? Please lol Edited November 14, 2015 by martybhoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth29 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 If you get the oem clutch wont that have the clutch plate without the springs in it? I assume you would would want the sprung type 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'm not exactly sure on what you mean Gareth could you elaborate a bit for me? I'm going to take the flywheel into Infiniti and double check with the guys in there to let me know what they think but it always helps to know a little before I go. Thanks.

gareth29 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'm sure someone will be along to correct me but the oem flywheel is dual mass so the clutch plate wont be the sprung type. If youve got a single mass flywheel then you want a non-oem sprung type clutch plate. It'd be interesting to hear from more knowledgeable folk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
