What kind of flywheel do you have on now? Is your clatter bad?

I don't understand what everyone is complaining about chatter (concrete mixer noise). I have JWT clutch with UR flywheel on my 04 and almost no noise on neutral and little bit of BMW SMG noise on starting. I say it quieter than noise from combination of Pop chager and Z tube.

10nara, the sound can be greater or lesser dependent on the car and the transmission fluid used. Having come from the European side of things, I don't think that the G35 makes that much noise, but there will be a slight increase in the volume and the amount of noise any time you move from a dual-mass flywheel to a single-mass flywheel. Ultimately this is subjective, but until you have driven a BMW, Audi, or VW with a lightened flywheel you have no idea how noticible gear noise can be. I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!

I agree. The single-mass unit for the G/Z is not loud at all.

If you want to hear some noise, come listen to my twin plate carbon clutch. That thing is loud! LOL

All Im saying is that I hear so may things about how rediculously loud it is from people still driving on stock clutch and flywheel, when they never even heard it. And it actually isn't. And yes, a 05 M3 with SMG makes more noise, I have driven it quite a few times.

Very subjective. If you read around on here and on My350Z, some people have actually paid the price and gone back to an oem flywheel because they hated the noise so much. I was scared when I got my first one and was shocked at how little noise there was.
