zxalex Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Mechanic went to fit clutch on my 350z today and it wouldn't fit. It's 250mm @ 10mm bigger than one that came out. Any advice/help appreciated. Edited March 15, 2019 by zxalex Missed details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 What brand and type of clutch did you buy? Who did you buy it from? Please do not say NCD or Techni - Clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxalex Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Exedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 So which one did you buy? ECP part number 641701280 for Exedy is correct for a VQ35DE (but will not fit the HR) This an Exedy NSK 2168 kit The part number on the cover should be NSC 633 The part number on the plate should be NCD 140U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you elaborate on what exactly the fitment issues are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxalex Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Sorry its a bit vague. Mechanic said it's a@240mm clutch that's in. Found this on the web Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Yeah, I know all that. The HR indeed runs a 240mm clutch. I need the part numbers off the new clutch as detailed above to enable me to provide you with informed information. I have come across this issue on numerous occasions. Does the new plate marry up with the new cover? Does the new cover marry up to the flywheel? What year and model is your car? Also, have you been messing around with engine and gearbox swops as I recall that you were fitting an auto engine into a manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryptek49 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Is your car an HR, and you've bough a clutch for the DE? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxalex Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 This is the clutch that came out. It doesn't mate up with the flywheel. Other option is to get a new flywheel. It's a 55 plate 2006. Engine that went in it is listing same clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Muxlow Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 It's either a de or de rev-up then at a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kryptek49 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 If the car is a DE/RevUp,why would it have a 240mm clutch in it - is that not HR only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen some DE motors with the 240, however, it can be an easy and inexpensive fix, but the OP, unfortunately, is not listening or providing the information requested I am afraid.

I'm sorry you think this ZMANALEX. I am listening and have taken on board all advice. Information about clutch supplied is the only thing I haven't got as it was delivered straight to the garage that is doing the work. I/we know how to get round it but again as stipulated previously was originally wanting to change like for like with the original 240mm nissan clutch but this is not an option. Looks like there is no clear reason as to why it came like this because there is no clear answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 There is a very clear answer, however, I require the information previously requested to provide informed advice. I think that you and your garage are way out there depth, unfortunately. I am done on this one I am afraid. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxalex Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 The information is there thats from the 240mm original clutch. It's okay as there is no one that knows everything. I can assure you the garage I have my car in knows his stuff and can do his job competently. Thanks for the advice you could give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryptek49 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 @ZMANALEX is basically the forum expert. He asked several questions above, but didn't get a reply. He also mentioned that he has seen this several times before, so if you ask really nicely he may come to the rescue and tell you exactly what you need. While I don't doubt your garage is competent, I do doubt that they are Zed specialists. I've quoted his comment below: On 16/03/2019 at 09:17, ZMANALEX said: I need the part numbers off the new clutch as detailed above to enable me to provide you with informed information.
