STmichael Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 So read loads of posts and now I am baffled by all the clutch talk. My sons Zed has now covered 90,000 miles (HR model) on its original clutch and the CSC has been noisy for a while but now getting worse. He is also saying that he is now getting a slight vibration through the gear lever. Time for a new clutch, CSC and flywheel. He is all for a lightweight flywheel and upgraded clutch being the young buck he is but me being an older engineer, prefer mechanical sympathy and hate the thought of clutch chatter and vibration. I would prefer to stay with a DMF. I have persuaded him to stick with DMF for now. What are your thoughts and recommendations. Obviously cost plays a part and I realise that a DMF costs more than a SMF but we still have be realistic on price as it will only be driven on the road and apart from the revup map, filters and exhaust will not be receiving any more power upgrades.

Ekona Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 LUK would be the DMF I’d go for. Upgraded clutch isn’t necessary at those power levels, so pick whatever fits your price range really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STmichael Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 Thanks, LUK was the flywheel I was looking at. As far as I understand they are the OEM for the 350. Please correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie_r32 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I fitted a Luk dmf clutch kit in my 370z removing the solid flywheel jwt set up, the noise just annoyed me and the stock set up can still take lots of abuse, if you can afford it go dmf.

Coz@TORQEN Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 We'd recommend the JWT clutch paired with the LUK DMF, you can also select the TORQEN heavy duty CSC from the drop downs. Wouldn't go for the OEM CSC again as they are a very common failure point and you might find yourself dropping the box again sooner than you expected. https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/powertrain/clutch-flywheel-packs/245694-350z-hr-z33-370z-z34-jwt-clutch-with-luk-dual-mass-flywheel.html I know you PM'd me too, I thought I'd pop it in here so the information and link is out there for others too ❤️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
