I'm getting nervous that I ordered my clutch and it's been 3 weeks and still have t even received a shipping status. Add to the fact that there are complaints of failure of the Fidanza flywheel that I have sitting in my garage...I'm about to money up for an OS Giken.

Dang. 3 weeks is a long time. BTW: What are you hearing about the Fidanza? I have a Fidanza in my 240z and it is awesome. I am considering this as one of my options for flywheel replacement. I have heard good stuff about the Jim Wolf flywheel, too.

springs are good, save your money on the sways to put towards an LSD. IMO that's the one major lacking part on non sports! Im about to drop down on my Quaife LSD and im trying to decide on brakes! Only thing my NON sport will be missing now is Syncro rev :p

Well, I finally got an email that my clutch shipped on 4/20. It will be here Tuesday. RCZ posted that the heads of the bolts in the flywheel break off. He said there have been 3 or 4 other reports of the same thing. I had this exact same setup on my G35 and it was great....hoping I'll have the same luck with the Z.

At least it's a 370 and not a 350... you'd never have been able to fit all of that in a 350!

No just fixed, it's only going to be about 125. I didn't bother makeing a claim deductable, isn't worth it, i should be only about 5-600 with a new tire and wheel repair, so...

huh, as long as they can match the color i guess :tup:

yah, i suppose if easier to do cash, that's the way to go. i have a 100 deductible on mine (i think or maybe it was zero) so anything that requires replacement due to road hazard claims i work it out with my insurance. :)
