jays280zx Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I've worked on this the last two days and hit a wall. Last week i bought an Exedy Clutch Kit (a "OE replacement") and a Fidanza Lightened Flywheel. I pulled my driveshaft, exhaust and tranny, then took the old slipping clutch, pressure plate and flywheel off. When comparing the clutches and pressure plates, i noticed they weren't the same size. The Exedy pressure plate was about a half inch thicker than the stock one, and the clutch and friction surface on the flywheel were bigger. Did they sent me the wrong one? This is the info where i bought it Fits the following cars: Nissan 240 Z 70-73 2.4L Nissan 260 Z 70-74 2.6L Nissan 280Z/ZX 75-83 2.8L Inc. T Exedy Part# 06030 + Fidanza Part# 143281 NIS1 and here is the link : http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EXEDY-Clutch-FIDANZA-Flywheel-240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX_W0QQitemZ310094704749QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item483315b06d#ht_2749wt_1167 thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woldson Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thicker? You mean the diameter is larger? 225mm vs 240mm? It says up above Inc. T, dose that mean turbo? (240mm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatBlack Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Fidanzas have a 240mm surface, a stock clutch for a N/A 280Z or 280ZX is 225mm. You would do better to get the 240mm clutch for a 280ZX Turbo if you haven't put the car back together yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jays280zx Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 the original is 225mm and the one they sent me is 240mm. Will the 240mm clutch and pressure plate work with the original transmission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoWing Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yes it will. On my car I'm using the Fidanza Aluminum 240mm flywheel and a 240mm ACT Street Performance clutch. This was all bolted up to my L28ET and then mated to an early 5-speed Z transmission. It works fine. The car originally had the 225mm clutch/factory flywheel.

You use the collar and fork that came with the early tranny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
