2003–2006 Nissan 350Z Clutch Kit & Flywheel Buying Guide

Shopping for a 2003–2006 Nissan 350Z clutch kit and flywheel? Start with the vehicle application, then compare the clutch material and intended use. A stage number alone is not enough to select the right kit.

This guide compares three FX clutch-and-flywheel packages in the Clutch World USA catalog. Each listing specifies the 2003–2006 Nissan 350Z with the 3.5L VQ35DE engine. Confirm your transmission and any drivetrain changes before ordering.

Confirm your fitment first

The vehicle applications listed for all three packages are:

• 2003–2006 Nissan 350Z, 3.5L VQ35DE.
• 2003–2006 Infiniti G35, 3.5L VQ35DE.
• 2007 Infiniti G35 coupe only, 3.5L VQ35DE.

Do not extend these applications to other years, engines, or body styles. In particular, the listed 2007 G35 application is coupe-only. If your car has an engine or transmission swap, ask us to confirm compatibility rather than ordering by model year alone.

Option 1: FX HD organic clutch and solid flywheel

The FX HD organic clutch kit and mid-weight solid flywheel package is described in its listing as an upgrade for stock or lightly modified vehicles. It includes an organic disc and is the first option to review if that matches your build.

The listing specifies a 500-mile break-in period. Follow the supplied installation and break-in instructions.

Option 2: FX Stage 2 Carbon Kevlar clutch and solid flywheel

The FX Stage 2 clutch kit and mid-weight solid flywheel package uses a Carbon Kevlar sprung disc and a heavy-duty pressure plate. The listing describes it as a street-and-track option.

Before choosing an upgraded clutch, tell us your modifications, estimated torque, and intended driving use. Do not select a kit solely because its stage number is higher.

Option 3: FX dual-friction clutch and solid flywheel

The FX dual-friction clutch kit and mid-weight solid flywheel package lists a sprung-center disc with copper-ceramic friction pads. Ask us to compare this option with the organic and Stage 2 packages for your particular build and driving priorities.

For background on the materials used in these options, read our clutch disc and flywheel materials guide.

What comes in these packages?

Each of these three listings includes a 23.65-pound billet-steel mid-weight solid flywheel, pressure plate, clutch disc, release bearing, pilot bushing, alignment tool, and installation guide. The listed discs are 248 mm with 24 splines. Confirm the current product listing and package contents before ordering.

Because these are matched clutch-and-flywheel packages, do not assume individual components can be mixed with an existing setup without checking compatibility.

Questions to answer before you buy

• What are your vehicle year, model, body style, engine, and transmission?
• Is the drivetrain original, or has anything been swapped?
• Is the engine stock, lightly modified, or substantially upgraded?
• Is the car used mainly for commuting, weekend driving, or track events?
• Which matters most to you: everyday drivability or the needs of a higher-output build?

Common 350Z clutch-kit buying questions

Do these kits fit a 2007 Nissan 350Z?

The three listings compared here specify 2003–2006 Nissan 350Z VQ35DE applications. They do not list the 2007 Nissan 350Z. Ask us for the correct application rather than extending the listed fitment.

Does the 2007 Infiniti G35 application include the sedan?

No sedan application is listed for 2007 in these three packages. Their 2007 Infiniti G35 application is specifically the VQ35DE coupe.

Is the flywheel included?

Yes. All three linked packages list a 23.65-pound mid-weight solid flywheel. Check the package you order rather than assuming every clutch kit in the catalog includes a flywheel.

Should I choose the highest stage?

Choose according to your verified application, engine output, and driving needs. Discuss your build with us before deciding between the organic, Carbon Kevlar, and dual-friction packages.

What if I am not sure the clutch needs replacement?
