The 350z DE pressure plate had two options, in 2003-2004 it was the standard Exedy 250mm pressure plate with 1790lbs of clamping force. In 2005 they made a change to a 250mm LUK self adjusting pressure plate. I pulled one of these from my car, but forgot to check for clamp load before throwing it in the trash.

    All clutches require resurfacing for the break-in of the material. It may take longer or never hold the torque needed if you don't. The reason they say it doesn't is because of the self adjusting mechanism.
    Thanks Dave, now understood all :super

    Soo I am wondering can I use a 240mm clutch disk on my 250mm flywheel?
    I have a spec stage 2 clutch and pressure plate from an na z32 and I drive an 87 turbo. I kniw the pp will not fit but would the smaller disk hurt anything? I would also be reusing my stock pressure plate.

    I got my clutch from HorsePowerFreaks.com
    They handle their business pretty seriously and have some pretty cool stuff, including a huge variety of Z31, Z32, Z33 clutches

    Edit: quick question guys, in theory if I bought a Z32 flywheel and Z32 clutch kit they should swap right out correct?

    Z32 flywheel will not work, it's the third post in this topic. Z32's have an 8 bolt fly where we have 6

    no, check P/N, pathy's fly is same to EUDM turbo (ALL) and USDM late turbo, e.g. 250 mm.

    Yeah, you can do that. You're decreasing size which decreases torque holding, but if you're in a pinch, it will work.

    The Z33 stuff is designed for a flat flywheel and the Z31 flywheels have a .008 step. You should resurface your flywheel flat before installing a Z33 clutch kit otherwise the pressure plate will be over compressed. That decreases clamping force and could make the diaphragm fingers come in contact with the disc.
    I would use the Z31 release bearing, it seems to work the best. The Z32 kits wouldn't give much more benefit then a z31 turbo kit. They have the same clamping force and you have to (SHOULD) buy a different (Z31) release bearing.

    If I remember right, there is a difference. I can't remember if it's basically a Z31 flywheel with 8 bolt center or a Z31 flywheel with a Z32 ring gear.

    Pathfinders are a VG30E, therefor its 6 bolt just like the Z31. I have a pathfinder engine in my Z31 with a Z31 flywheel…

    As far as the ring gear…its Z31. They're the same flywheel as 87-89 turbos. Why? Because They have 30As, like 87-89 Turbos.

    EHMM, Early EUDM Z31T also have 250mm fly, but they had BorgWarner=)

    You know what, you're right. I was basing my info on Jon Martin's car and I forgot he stuffed a Z32 crank in his VG33. That's why I had thought there was something different. My bad.

    So just to confirm, I could use this 350z oem replacement clutch kit - http://www.amazon.com/EXEDY-NSK1000-OEM … B001B5E0SG - with my 88 N/A (which uses the 240mm flywheel) I just need to have the flywheel machined flat and get a throwout bearing and pilot bushing for a Z31?
