Since our engines are basically the same- will their aftermarket clutches/flywheels work on our maximas? Sorry if this has been asked before, but search is down.

 

Easiest way to find out would be to call a Nissan dealership and find out if the parts numbers are the same for the two applications

 

This will actually be my next big project.

I want to know if i can use the 16 pound Tilton flywheel/clutch combo.

 

Do you have any info on the stock flywheel weight?

 

Your ID says your car is a '95....

I have a 2000 maxima engine with a 2001 flywheel and clutch assy bolted on to it and then a z350 6 speed manual transmission bolted to all that. The throwout bearing/clutch fork assy is roughly 1" short of touching the clutch (looks like I'll be making an adapter).

Now if you happen to have a 3.5L (2002+) I don't know. The 2002 flywheel and clutch appear to be different than the 2001. Would still be a long shot though.

 

According to data on My350Z.com their stock flywheel and clutch assembly is about 46(?) pounds combined. The 2k2+ Maxima should be the same.

 

Uh, if you have a 95, I will be able to get the Fidanza DESIGNED for your car. And there are already aftermarket clutches for your application. No need to ice-skate up hill. You are correct in some ways though as the 2000-2001 maxima used the same VQ30 engine. I don't think the VQ35 versions will work as Fidanza has to re-engineer a new design flywheel for them.

 

Sorry, but i havent updated my profile, I have a 2k2 6 speed. So is it possible or not to use 350z applicable clutches in our car?

Thanks.

 

No one knows exactly. The consensus is that they're different.

 

I think JWT makes a flywheel for the 02+ altima. I wonder if they have one for the 02+ max
