Thanks Dave, now understood all :superDave@SBC wrote: The 2006-up 350z HR and the 370z have a 240mm pressure plate, it's made by LUK and has a self-adjusting mechanism. It has 1830lbs of clamping force. The 350z DE pressure plate had two options, in 2003-2004 it was the standard Exedy 250mm pressure plate with 1790lbs of clamping force. In 2005 they made a change to a 250mm LUK self adjusting pressure plate. I pulled one of these from my car, but forgot to check for clamp load before throwing it in the trash.
All clutches require resurfacing for the break-in of the material. It may take longer or never hold the torque needed if you don't. The reason they say it doesn't is because of the self adjusting mechanism. -
Soo I am wondering can I use a 240mm clutch disk on my 250mm flywheel?
I have a spec stage 2 clutch and pressure plate from an na z32 and I drive an 87 turbo. I kniw the pp will not fit but would the smaller disk hurt anything? I would also be reusing my stock pressure plate.87 300zx turbo ~600whp

So if i order a 350z clutch kit , I must look for a 240mm one? , I can use the 350 throw out bearing and pp?, Or a Z32 n/a kit? , The reason i ask is locally there is no where i can find and z31 clutch of any sort -
I got my clutch from HorsePowerFreaks.com
They handle their business pretty seriously and have some pretty cool stuff, including a huge variety of Z31, Z32, Z33 clutches
Edit: quick question guys, in theory if I bought a Z32 flywheel and Z32 clutch kit they should swap right out correct?Kira-1988 N/A T-Top- Turbo soon

Z32 flywheel will not work, it's the third post in this topic. Z32's have an 8 bolt fly where we have 6NizmoZ31 wrote: I got my clutch from HorsePowerFreaks.com

Is 300ZX NA flywheel same as pathfinder VG30 fly?1987 300ZX Turbo 2+2 - hard work and lot of fun.
Sorry for my "tarzan" english. -
no, check P/N, pathy's fly is same to EUDM turbo (ALL) and USDM late turbo, e.g. 250 mm.TooSlow wrote: Is 300ZX NA flywheel same as pathfinder VG30 fly?

Yeah, you can do that. You're decreasing size which decreases torque holding, but if you're in a pinch, it will work.vgVQ wrote: Soo I am wondering can I use a 240mm clutch disk on my 250mm flywheel?

The Z33 stuff is designed for a flat flywheel and the Z31 flywheels have a .008 step. You should resurface your flywheel flat before installing a Z33 clutch kit otherwise the pressure plate will be over compressed. That decreases clamping force and could make the diaphragm fingers come in contact with the disc.Fredster102 wrote: So if i order a 350z clutch kit , I must look for a 240mm one? , I can use the 350 throw out bearing and pp?, Or a Z32 n/a kit? , The reason i ask is locally there is no where i can find and z31 clutch of any sort
I would use the Z31 release bearing, it seems to work the best. The Z32 kits wouldn't give much more benefit then a z31 turbo kit. They have the same clamping force and you have to (SHOULD) buy a different (Z31) release bearing.Dave

If I remember right, there is a difference. I can't remember if it's basically a Z31 flywheel with 8 bolt center or a Z31 flywheel with a Z32 ring gear.TooSlow wrote: Is 300ZX NA flywheel same as pathfinder VG30 fly?Dave

As far as the ring gear…its Z31. They're the same flywheel as 87-89 turbos. Why? Because They have 30As, like 87-89 Turbos.

So just to confirm, I could use this 350z oem replacement clutch kit - http://www.amazon.com/EXEDY-NSK1000-OEM … B001B5E0SG - with my 88 N/A (which uses the 240mm flywheel) I just need to have the flywheel machined flat and get a throwout bearing and pilot bushing for a Z31?
