Wow, great reference i must say about the 350Z clutch thread! Just as an update... Its been 2 years since I've done the install and 50,000 miles later, and it still performs great. I have no complaints...only thing I noticed was that the pedal did tighten up a little over the years and feels closer to the norm of typical clutches...and I NEVER have any chatter.

Good Luck!

I am reading now. I am ordering a twin disk thats why i was trying to see if it will work. I was told that the twin 350z is a little taller. I know someone was running a 350z twin just cant remember who.

He's talking about the twin disc Z33 clutches. To my knowledge less than a handful of people have done so, including Merlyn.

Depends on your definition of 'work', really. It ran and drove, but it took forever to start, ran like ***, and had no tach.

Of course that's because we didn't do anything with the timing ring, the RWD timing ring has a much larger offset than the FWD.

got ya. So all you really needed to do was switch out with a properly fitting timing ring.
