Ok so I just purchased a 370. I love it. I fell in love with the 350 when it first came out and then the 370 when it came out.

Ok so I just purchased a 370. I love it. I fell in love with the 350 when it first came out and then the 370 when it came out. Always wanted one of these cars and now I finally have one
![]() So thats that.... continuing. This car is honestly my dream right now. Im not the most mechanically inclined and I'll admit it. I was wondering if I could get some help with peoples recommendations on what I should do to the car to increase the quality of the car. I want the car to be in good shape and have the most minimal amount of problems as possible. All comments would be greatly appreciated... and thank you for reading. I look forward to your help.

You'll notice that if you depress the clutch slower the noise isn't as pronounced. As far as getting a stage 2 clutch, I'm assuming you'd go lightweight flywheel. The Z has MORE noise with a lighter flywheel. So if the noise annoys you that much you might want to keep it the way it is. But personally I'd rather have a louder yet lighter flywheel compared to the dual mass flywheel the 370z currently has.

Yeah.. well with my Tiburon it didnt make a noise like the 370. When the tiburon did start making noises with the clutch, it pretty much blew up and the pedal slammed into the floor. So when I got the 370 and heard the noise, Im not gonna lie I was scared considering the problem I just had with my tiburon. But yeah I understand what youre saying. I was greatly releived when I heard that it was common with the 370's

yea in general, OEM parts like clutches and brake pads are going to be longer lasting, quieter and smoother operating than aftermarket. my boss has a 350 with a 6 puck clutch, it's like an on/off switch, starting off from a light is either stalling or burnout... literally

This is just me, but I would wait until the clutch needs to be replaced before I start putting in an aftermarket clutch and flywheel.
And if you look up Nissan Cement Mixer sound on the internet I'm sure you'll find a lot of documentation regarding the sound haha The JWT clutch and flywheel is supposed to feel like stock while being able to hold upwards of 50% more torque. I remember reading that someplace |

it's so stiff there isn't any "riding" the clutch, you just kinda hit the gas, dump the clutch and go... nothing subtle about it like an OEM one

I would say that's more of an attribute to the size of the friction point rather than how stiff the clutch is..But I do agree there are some crazy clutches out there that will do that.

My biggest word of advice is to enjoy the car and don't get caught up in the fear mongering done on this forum(oil temp and other blown out of proportion issues)
