240z L28et clutch questions

[jacob80]

Hey guys,

 

I'm thinking about ordering this clutch kit:

We are running an L28ET with stock rebuilt 73 4 speed. My question is:

 

A) Do we need a different throw out bearing collar for this clutch (240mm)?

 

How harsh is harsh? This will be a street/track car.

 

C) Are there any other tequirements other than the collar (possibly)? We are using an aluminum fidanza flywheel.

 

Thanks guys!

I am not a fan of Puck clutches on anythin other than a full on track car. I would look into the ACT NX2-HDSS or the NX2-XTSS. Do you have a 240mm flywheel (the Fidanza) . If you are already using a 240mm flywheel and clutch, all you will need is a new release bearing...but yeas...you need to use the 280 clutch bearing collar, if you dont have one

Do the fidanza flywheels for our Cara come in either 240mm or 225mm? I thought they were all 240mm. I want a clutch that will hold 500hp with street/occasional track days. I'll look at those part numbers. I would like to get the whole kit of possible, one that includes the throw out bearing, pressure plate, and clutch.

Here is our flywheel:

The Fidanza flywheel you linked to is a 240mm, and you shouldn't have a problem mating it to the 240mm clutch you linked to. The TOB will be the same size, but the collar may need to be changed.

What transmission and clutch are you CURRENTLY running? Measure the length between the back of the fork mating surface and the beginning of the bearing mating surface on the TOB collar, what is it in MM? There are two common measurement of TOB collars here, and you may or may not need a new one. The turbo clutch pressure plates are typically "taller" than the NA pressure plates and thus require a slightly shorter (1mm or so) TOB collar, which depending where your tranny came from you might already have.

 

When changing to a performance clutch from a normal street clutch, almost always the clutch pedal will need to be adjusted. This is so that the TOB pushes "harder" into the diaphragm springs on the clutch. Spray some WD-40 on the lock nut, turn it out, then turn the rod (the one that goes through the firewall). Turn it (clockwise?) so that you have less of the rod in the cabin and more on the firewall side.

 

*Edit: be aware that the Fidanza flywheel has shallower bolt holes than the stock steel one. 2-3mm shallower.
