Fidanza install complete.

[rhipsher]

Got everything done this morning. And I love it! Absolutely love it. I should have done it sooner. When I started the car up after sitting 8 weeks it firered right up like it always does and I was expecting to hear all kinds of gear noise like I've read about on hear. I didn't hear anything at all. If you listen really hard when it's in neutral you can hardly hear it. Let me just say for anyone looking for more get up and go I would highly recomend it as one of the many things that will bump it up a notch in the performance department. The RPM's come up so fast it will make your head spin. I'm so glad I did it. And I would like to thank Lee for helping me. We were up till 2:45am friday night totally exhausted. When his Z decides to take a crap he can count on me for help.

Congrats and great to hear some good news about the Fidanza. I have mine on the shelf that I bought from phrogs. So what clutch set up did you go with? Thanks for sharing.

I'm using the stock clutch. And the part# for the sprung hub disk is CTF-381039 at Summit Racing. You have two choices there for disks either the Center Force that I went with or the McLoed. Summit was out of stock on both so it took me over a month to get it. I also went with longer bolts for the flywheel to crank and for clutch to flywheel. All grade 8 preasure bolts not just any bolts.

I got my flywheel last week. I looked at Jegs and they have the Center Force in stock for the same price as Summit. Think I will order next week. I am probably going to go with the stock bolts. I don't race but do push the car pretty hard during normal driving. Any thoughts on the bolts other than the $10 a piece ones??

I went with longer bolts for the crank and clutch plate. 7/16-20 1.25L and 3/8-16 2.25L grade 8 preasure bolts.

Thanks, I really appreciate the info. I was holding back because I have heard about all the rattle at idle. It's bad enough that people think I have a problem with smoke from the exhaust.....all I need is some rattling and it will seem like a POS.
