ok i have searched and couldn't find a definite answer. I need some suggestions on a clutch, for a fidanza fly wheel on a 5.5 gen with just I/E/H. Anything other than the 350z. I don't wanna have to modify the transmission case in order to make that work. Oh the car will be a daily. Thanks in advance.

 

Hows about the Fidanza Clutch??

 

I never seen or heard of anyone running the fidanza clutch.

 

Exedy stage 1 will be fine

 

Is there a certain exedy stage 1 that while work with the fidanza? Are they all the same? Sorry for the newb question I don't know anything about clutches.

 

Get the one for the year of your car. 06804a is the part number I think, but double check theory website

 

I didn't have to modify my tranny for my Z33 clutch to fit.

 

^^ did you use the z33 PP? from what I have read the PP rubs a little, but the disk is ok. And if you buy a Z33 kit you have to spend extra on the maxima bearing since the Z bearing doesn't work

 

So everyone that uses the oem 350z clutch and pressure plate, don't have to grind down a certain area on the tranny case?

 

BTY the maxima exedy disk has more surface area than the stock Z33

 

But if you are using a solid flywheel you should use a sprung clutch disk if you don't want it to engage harsh .

 

anyone using the fidanza clutches? are they any good?

 

call competition clutch they have a great product and prices and the lightest flywheel available for 5th gens-10.xx lbs

I run the Exedy stage 1 with Fidanza flywheel. Exedy stage 1 is MUCH stiffer than stock and I do have clutch chatter but you get used to it. I love the way the car feels with this setup!

 

I used to run a 350z clutch on the fidanza flywheel and did not have issues with it.

 

Did you have to grind down your transmission case to clear the pp?

 

@ the OP- werent you doing a 6spd swap also???

 

Yes i'm trying to decide on an affordable clutch kit. have you started on your swap yet?

 

yea its in the shop, should be done tomorrow or wednesday... there is a group buy on clutch in the classified for exedy clutch for $200 free shipping... i went with that

 

The whole clutch kit was 350Z with a Maxima throw out bearing. No rubbing whatsoever.
