Nothing yet, it looks like its a nice design.. Im half way done, I pulled out the seat, and I used a physical fitness mat, I laid on the floor, kicked my legs over the rear stabilizer and had at it with a flash light... I took my time before the sun was gone.

I got everything in, it was a pain in the azz.. I ended up messing up one of the clutch harnesses, so its on order.. Other than that, I don't see myself doing another one of those..

no thanks.

ALRIGHTY GENTS!
I've got the stage 3 clutch installed!

I've already got nearly 100 miles on it since last evening and I gotta say it's very strong and grabs awesomely

I'm still seeing how everything works out with it my next update will be after the 500 mile mark. Then again at 1000 miles. I pray the clutch doesn't give out on me haha when I first got the car it was making a little rumble noise but to me it was was just the settling. Eventually the noise subdued now it's quieter and settling still. My only concern and issue is that I have to basically launch hard at a light constantly and I'm afraid of having issues with the law later. Anyway that's my experience thus far with the XTD Stage 3 Clutch Kit & Xlite Flywheel

oh and yes the flywheel come at about 8-10 lbs lighter than OEM.

How much did the Install end up costing?

FairladyZ40th · 08-09-2015, 05:33 PM

My mechanic hooked me up for $600 and he works at the Nissan dealership I payed ~$550 for the kit including slave cylinder and master cylinder.

Any web devs out there? It shouldn't take long to create a web-based submission form with e-mail and captcha, and maybe use an SQLite database. I can get a simple UI started. That way we can move away from the shared access to the file on my Google Drive. Of course, we'll need to encrypt the e-mail addresses to prevent scouring from data miners, hackers, and spammers.

I'm joining this elite group at 58,000 miles. Luckier than some not as lucky as others. Now have to decide whether to upgrade the clutch/flywheel or not.....

At 58k I would just do everything and save a couple bucks in the long run
Get a lighter flywheel as it does make a difference in acceleration

Looking at this with new OEM Master and the HD CSC. I think this will handle my future FI hp. Looking for FI in the 480 hp range. The car is still about 70% daily driver. It just doesn't see much rain anymore as I drive my truck on those days. ZSpeed Performance Nissan Infinti OEM & Performance Parts

Ok so I'm at the 550 mile break in point with the clutch. It shifts smoother than before and suddenly my Z began doing a lot of blow back/gargling noise... It pushes hard/strong and it definitely picks up speed and has better acceleration.

However, I'm concerned with the sudden excess or increase in blow black. Also, I basically have to burn out every time I launch because it grabs instantly. She "barks" when I shift up and the traction control comes on more often also. Any thoughts/opinions welcome!
