Chatter is more audible is an understatement. I'm running a JWT lightweight flywheel with stock clutch and at idle my Z sounds like a diesel tractor... God forbid you turn the A/C on at a stoplight. People walking down the road looking at your car wondering if it's falling apart.

Other than that... It's a good mod. :D

Joe at Zspeed recommended Southbend Stage 3 daily clutch and their steel flywheel with new HD CSC for my soon to be turbo car with occasional road course track duty.

The specialty Z kit looks really nice as well - and includes a racing slave and lines that replaces the CSC and their flywheel is lightweight aluminum - supposedly it is still fine with the turbo and track weekends...

Yeah I'm curious if anyone has tried Specialty Z's CSC. It's different than Zspeed.

Bump to an old thread.:tup:

From what I read ZSpeed HD CSC still fails after a while. Looks like the Z1 CSC elimination kit is the way to go.

I am also wondering if anyone here has Z1 clutch and flywheel combo? I am more curious about the drivability and the chatter coz I won't boost my car in a near future.

Z1 flywheel is 17.5 ibs compare to south band 19 ibs. I met a local guy who has GTM stage 2 TT kit on his 370z. He told me he hated his os giken kit and said it's a bitch for dd especially on a slope. Then he switched to Z1 clutch/flywheel combo and loves it. Said it's almost like OEM and can hold up 500ib/ft of torque. So I am wondering if anyone else has experience with the Z1 kit? The other kit I am interested is the South Band Stage 3 Daily kit. Any info will be appreciated.:tiphat:

You can also check out the Specialty Z Steet max. Comes with a Tilton CSC and light weight fly. 3 different discs for your power level. Anyway chatters on launch a bit but, is very easy to drive. I chose to get the RJM pedal as well to get the engagement point where I wanted.
