Hey guys,

I have a bunch of mods that I will be doing and I talked to the shop that is doing my tune and they are saying they would prefer to do the tune before I do the clutch. They are saying the clutch needs a 500 mile break in. Anybody got any experience with this?

Hey guys,

It's 200 because they owe me a fidanza flywheel.

Clutch will not effect the tune so that's fine. Get the tune than clutch.

Sorry I am not explaining myself. I plan on getting the JWT Clutch and Flywheel combo. Would the performance of the new Flywheel affect the tune? If so that is why I will probably have my girlfriend put the miles on the clutch before the tune.

is an upgraded clutch more necessary on the 6 speeds?

i definitley want to put either the jwt flywheel or Comp Clutch Flywheel in my 7at, however i'm torn on whether i should upgrade the clutch/csc

Well anytime you are adding more ponies to your car a new clutch is something to consider especially if your going F/I. The man reason for me is I am already doing the upgrade for the flywheel to squeeze out some extra hp so while I am at it I will have the clutch swapped out. It is one of those things do both while you got the damn thing out ya know.

My 2c.

- you can get a few thousand miles from stock clutch on an FI car, but make no mistake, it will eventually break or toast.

- CSC has to be upgraded to the metal one, it WILL fail eventually.

- Master also sucks and will most LIKELY have to be replaced at some point.

- Southbend Stage 4 is not a harsh clutch, its actually quite streetable. The problem that I have with mine is that I bought mine when they were still kinda testing whether it worked on 370Z or not. Well on the 350z they have something called a marcel spring in between the pp and the disc. That wavy spring allows for a smooth engagement and is great, however the throw on the 370z clutch is shorter than 350z so the marcel isnt disengaging properly when it should. So im essentially switching gears with a partially engaged clutch. Its not breaking anything, but its quite annoying. Which flywheel you use makes no difference on this.

- If you are using a fidanza, make sure you loctite the hell out of the bolts. It is a bit louder, but it also revs quite fast. Comp Clutch fw is quieter, but it doesn't rev as quickly.

- Clutches do like a break in period before you start slamming gears.

Chuck, you don't need a crazy *** clutch, you need something that will hold aggressive driving. PM Jnaut, he has a clutch sitting around that would be great for you. Its brand new and more than enough for your application.

You have a 7 AT a clutch that is designed for a 6 speed car wont work on your car.

Two totally different transmission's.

Hey RCZ,

Just a quick question if you don't mind but in this thread

Does this give me everything I need for the swap? Also is 500 miles a good break in period?

correct, however i just asked if adding those flywheels (both of which should work with a 7at) would result in me needing an upgraded clutch (7at clutch).

Im staying N.A., just trying to gauge costs...

Yes, make sure you get the metal csc too. Just call CZP, ask for Coz. FYI, I have a JWT/Fidanza fw for sale in the classifieds... might save you a little money.

Do you know if the one in the link is made of metal? The revised nissan csc?
