Terence Bower Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Right,decided that [as there were no takers] and really dont want to become a member of the "M3 Set",I am keeping my 07 313 Z. BUT,as the car will be coming to Germany with our impending move over there,I want to change the clutch and fit a lightweight Flywheel as I'm sure the Dual Mass retains too much heat. Looking for advice on what route to take pleaase. Quote
ddcboyle Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 standby for the scrapping sound when stationary Quote
coldel Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 It does rattle - but I have held a dual mass flywheel and it weighs a god damn lot! So will help with revving. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Hi mate, I would recommend the SMF as it is one piece, maintenance free with no moving parts and very light which changes the mass and inertia which in turn allows the engine to spin up faster. However, due to not having any damping properties like the DMF you may potentially experience some gearbox idler chatter below 1500 rpm but a slight change to your driving style will help to eliminate that. IMHO the increase in performance far outweighs any negatives. However if you are paranoid about noises and do a lot of town running then perhaps DMF would be the way to go. Plenty flys and clutch kits in stock for the DE and HR, so no drama with supply. Alex. Quote
Terence Bower Posted August 4, 2013 Author Posted August 4, 2013 OK,thanks Alex,can you recommend a suitable f/wheel/clutch supplier? lol Quote
spursmaddave Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Lightened fly & single mass clutch is a great combination in a Zed, yes you get a bit if noise when stationary and you need to keep the revs over 2k or it sounds like going to jump up and throttle you but trust me you won't be dissapointed Quote
Daryl Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Dave put my mind at rest about a LW flywheel, and im glad i did it. Had it in around a year now, and just consider the noise part of the Zed now. Really worth it IMO, and once you have driven with it in, then you realise what your missing out on. Quote
Terence Bower Posted August 4, 2013 Author Posted August 4, 2013 All the sort of reports I had hoped for! Does the hot fluid problem improve? Have replaced to fluid with RBF,and it has improved,but touring around the Eifel villages as we have these last two weeks [in between work!] Quote

Yep people say they couldn't bear the noise and tes if you start it on a cold morning it sounds broken but the feel and response you get from it are well worth suffering that... 1 Quote
Arran Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 My choice for this type of setup when I get mine is Driftworks superfly flywheel Exedy stage 1 organic clutch Only heard good things about them Quote
GriffGTV Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 any updates on these choices guys? - Any knock on effect to gearbox idler bearing for instance, as increased noise must be a sign of more movement somewhere in the chain Quote

Plenty of people running SMF inc my self, with numerous updated threads knocking around. 1 Quote
