I actually like a heavier clutch..it inspires more confidence. Thats one thing i never liked about the dxd is it felt like stock.Bolt on, fast, z31. You can only pick two.

I myself too like a heavier clutch, it makes it feel more sturdy like you acctualy have a performance clutch.. I suppose how you worded it pretty much sums it up..
Granted somedays when your really tired in day time traffic it does suck at times but it makes a man feel good to know that his 500lb leg presses are comming in handy :nanan?re1989 300ZX 2+2 N/A GLL

What about using a z33 disk? Does anyone know if the spline is the same?Bolt on, fast, z31. You can only pick two.

If you like the Z32 one then you will really like the Z33 one. The cantilever ratio is different and it engages more quickly. Also the Z33 PP is 850KG with a light pedal.
Yes again, I agree that the Z33 clutch pressure plate is a very substantial improvement over the standard Z31 clutch. All DXD clutches for all models except 87-89T with SS or FE-X pressure plates (not the base HD) now use the Z33 pressure plate because it offers better clamp load, softer pedal, and the same pricetag. This also allows use of a 250mm disc with the 240mm flywheels, for even more torque capacity. About time for people to start throwing those 250mm (87-89T) flywheels in the scrap pile. -

I can check the spline count when I get home. I have the Z33 trans in the garage.
BTW: why use the Z33 disk when the Z31 disk fits just fine??
Only one reason: because it is 250mm instead of 240mm.
You can't use a 250mm disc on the "240mm" flywheel with the Z31 240mm pressure plate, but you can use a 250mm disc with the 350Z pressure plate on the "240mm" flywheel.

Yes… with the exception of a few changes to the kit to suit the Z31, it is essentially a 350Z clutch. -
