Clutch "Kit" Quick Question
 
I am looking to buy this clutch in Stage 2.
370Z VHR South Bend DXD Clutch Kits for stock CSC

Will this be the only part I need to buy to replace my stock clutch successfully?
Or is there more?

You might need a flywheel, or at least get your stock one resurfaced. You should also get the HD CSC, the stock one will probably fail at some point.

Yes I am going to definitely get the HD CSC. But I can't at the moment, money. I was just wondering if there are any other things that may not be included in this kit for a full clutch swap. Throw out bearing and pressure plate were mentioned. I'm not very well educated on the clutch region. Thanks.

Wait until you have enough money and order everything together. There is no point in installing the clutch now and then the CSC later. It would double your time or labor cost.

The pressure plate is included with the clutch. When you order the HD CSC, Zspeed will include the appropriate throwout bearing with the CSC.

The other item you might need is a pilot bushing. Most of the time, the pilot bushing should be fine. But since you have the tranny out, might as well replace this cheap ($5) part just to be safe.

If youre are doing the clutch install yourself, you will also need the alignment tool. Judging from the pictures on zspeed's website, these items are included.

Thanks man. Oh and I am not installing the clutch and CSC separately. I am buying the clutch now and then when I have the money I will buy the CSC. I'll be installing them at the same time.

Clutch kit comes with Clutch, Pressure plate, Pilot bushing and alignment tool. HR/VHR cars with concentric slave have the throw out bearing attached to the slave, if you get our HD slave kit it comes with all stainless lines and they go all the way to the frame rail hardline.

Another note, The clutch kits have all been updated, although the current 370z kits shown on our website are still available there is a new line up now, the kits listed under the DE section are the new layouts and the prices are the same for the HR/VHR, I will try and get the 370z side of the website updated soon.
They can be found here.

Also, The NEW South Bend Billet flywheels are in stock and are lighter than the original. The HR flywheel is now down to 24 3/4 lbs. and should still be fairly quite.


If you need any help choosing the correct kit for your needs feel free to call us, We will be open all day tomorrow.

I'm going with the Stage 2 because I'm going supercharged in a few months.

Why would you do that? You are gonna have the clutch sitting there, you are gonna end up paying more for shipping and more for the CSC itself by getting it separately..Save up man, buy everything at the same time. You'll need some brake fluid to complete the install too.

I don't do well with money sitting around. This is how I'm doing it.

Just let us know, If you buy the clutch first, then buy the slave I will offer you free ship on the slave when you're ready.
