A Classic Platform That Still Dominates the Scene
The Nissan 350Z (chassis code Z33) remains one of the most iconic JDM sports cars. First introduced in 2002, it came equipped with the legendary VQ35DE and VQ35HR 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 engines, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Thanks to its rear-wheel-drive layout, solid balance, and tuning potential, the 350Z has earned its place in the hearts of track enthusiasts, street racers, and drift fans worldwide.
Why Replace the OEM Flywheel?
The stock 350Z flywheel, typically weighing 10–11kg, is designed for comfort and noise reduction—but it’s far from performance-oriented. Common complaints include:
Slow throttle response
Reduced power transfer efficiency
Overheating and warping during spirited driving
Sluggish gear engagement
That’s where a lightweight flywheel comes in.
What Makes Our 350Z Flywheel Different?
We’ve engineered a high-performance flywheel specifically for the VQ35DE / VQ35HR platforms. It’s a direct-fit upgrade for 350Z and Infiniti G35 manual transmissions.
