Clutch

[Fastededdie]

Hi is my 260 Z Clutch 225 or 240mm as the company supplying a lightened flywheel need to know?

Conceptua Tuning they are called. Are they a good company?


Thanks all hope you are well. Hope to see you at a show in the spring .

Probably 225, although I think 2+2 and very late 260s had 240mm. But they've often been upgraded already.
If you're buying a lightened flywheel, why not get 240 and the clutch and collar to match?

Conceptua normally seem to just resell stuff from the US at a big markup. Which flywheel are they supplying?

Silly Money. I will take my plates off tomorrow and see what I have. Even the bushings they sell are crazy prices. £39 for 2 front steering bushings.

Tbh that doesn't seem a terrible deal. I'd still want 240mm though

It’s tricky to tell from your pictures if it’s 225 or 240

As has been said, this car could have either. You could just change the clutch to suit your new flywheel. You will also need to consider which release bearing carrier you have. It’s worth googling this as there’s lots of info out there.

They just resell rock auto stuff at circa 25-40% over what it'd cost you to buy and pay duty on. So basically, go direct.

a fidanza one is much less.

If you want a lightened steel one, i've a spare.

I'd also go here for proper quality at the same or less money

search through, a few that'd cost you less landed.

Which fidanza are you looking at Jason?

I agree in general, but CC seem to have an OK rep.

I got mine here years ago and we have ordered several from these guys over the years....save a little money.

I have purchased many items from them never had a problem

I bought a fidanza flywheel and Exedy clutch plate package off eBay.

The shipping is a bit steep tho. You would need to get the larger bearing carrier

+1 for the fidanza / exedy combo!

On my late 260z with modified L28 I bought the 280zx 2+2 Turbo clutch to take the extra torque without getting a very heavy pedal - and it works well.

Agreed on the advice - go 240mm while you are about it.
