Tom_K Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) Afternoon all, Hoping some of you can help. I'm going to be replacing my clutch and flywheel with items from Clark Motorsport and I'd like to know the torque specs, or advice on where to find them, for the flywheel bolts and clutch cover mainly. Also, while your here, any tips of advice on doing this job? Help much appreciated. Thanks Edited November 18, 2016 by Tom_K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro85 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Here's the service manual for the 2005, you should find what you're looking for under EM (Engine Mechanical) or MT/AT (Manual/Auto Transmission). http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/350Z/coupe/2005/ Other years are available too on that site.

Tom_K Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) Brilliant. Thanks. Also, incase anyone here has installed the Clark Motorsport clutch kit, when I was talking Ewen, he said that the pressure plate needed to be torqued up in specific stages, unique to that kit. Does anyone happen to know what they are? Bit of any update on this, with a few more questions. I'm fitting a a lightweight flywheel and I assume the torque specs will be the same as factory? On that note, the service manual says 88.2Nm but when you look around online, there are a lot of Yanks saying it's around 120 ft/lb! which is about 150 odd Nm. Can someone please confirm? Also, shall I assume the same about the clutch cover specs? Tighten in 2 stages, first at 14.5Nm, second at 39.5NM in a criss-cross pattern. Lastly, just so it's all in one place in case anyone wants to know, I'll be replacing the pivot ball which is 39.5Nm. All of these require red loctite. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. Any help much appreciated. Edited November 19, 2016 by Tom_K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Did you not get torque numbers in the instructions? I've just got an extreme clutch from Clark motorsport aswell and it had instructions with everything you needed to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the printed off service bulletin about the release bearing but that's it. You couldn't have a look if you still have them could you?
