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

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.

With it being on the inside they wont have to match the color at all, it should fix up pretty unnoticable, i'll post some pics when i get it back.
