The Nissan 350Z (Z33, AAZ33) with the 3.5L VQ35DE engine and rear-wheel drive delivers strong performance, producing 206kW to 221kW. Known for its upgradability, this platform supports a wide range of aftermarket performance parts, making it a popular choice for enthusiasts and racers. The VQ35DE is a robust engine with excellent tuning potential, capable of significant power gains with bolt-on modifications, forced induction, or internal upgrades.

Paired with a six-speed manual transmission, the drivetrain offers impressive durability, handling increased torque from performance enhancements. The gearbox is known for its resilience under high-performance driving conditions, especially with proper maintenance and an upgraded clutch. When fitted with a performance clutch, the 350Z effectively puts power to the ground, enhancing acceleration and throttle response.

In racing applications, the 350Z excels in circuit racing, time attack, and drifting due to its balanced chassis, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, and responsive handling. The widespread availability of replacement parts worldwide ensures easy maintenance and modifications, with strong aftermarket support catering to both performance and longevity.

VDMR2213N is designed to replace the Original Equipment (OE) unit including the OE flywheel. This kit includes a dual mass replacement flywheel which converts the clutch system to a solid mass flywheel (SMF). Changing from a dual mass flywheel (DMF) to a solid flywheel (SMF) increases the reliability of your clutch system and allows the flywheel to be machined for longer life. However you might experience slightly more noise or vibration compared to a DMF clutch system. Designed and manufactured to replace the clutch system installed as Original Equipment, a PHC standard replacement clutch kit is the reliable choice. Each component has been thoroughly tested and developed for a specific application. This range provides a Quality Assured replacement part that will meet or exceed the requirements of the original unit. After 18 years of experience in developing and manufacturing clutch kits for OEM and Aftermarket use, PHC is the trusted source for a complete range of Clutch Kits suited to your vehicle.

Ready to Upgrade? Swap Out the Stock Clutch for a Performance Boost!

Stock clutches can fall short when it comes to spirited driving. Upgrade to a high-performance clutch for:

Durability: Engineered to handle daily commutes and weekend getaways with ease.
Performance: Quicker throttle response and enhanced power delivery for a smoother ride.
Control: Experience a more precise and responsive clutch feel on the road.
Savings: Lower upfront cost with less frequent maintenance.
Confidence: Drive knowing your clutch is built for performance, wherever your journey takes you.

Advantages Over a DMF

Increased ability to handle higher torque
Greater reliability
Better thermal dynamics
Cost efficient: Both on the initial purchase and ongoing with the ability to machine the flywheel

Note: as dual mass replacement/conversion (DMR) clutch kits do not as effectively dampen driveline noise or vibration an increased vibration and noise might be detectable especially at low RPMs. However, this will not damage the vehicle’s driveline.

This clutch kit comes with a parts and labour warranty period of 1 year or 20,000 kilometers (whichever occurs first).
