Description
Designed around the drivetrain package used in 2003–2007 INFINITI G35 / 2003–2006 Nissan 350Z, the EXEDY Lightweight Flywheel – 2003–2007 INFINITI G35 / 2003–2006 Nissan 350Z is intended for drivers prioritizing enthusiast street, autocross, HPDE, and modified performance builds and correct EXEDY component matching.
About EXEDY
EXEDY's history reaches back to 1923 in Japan, with decades of clutch development under the Daikin Clutch name. The company is both a major OEM powertrain supplier and a long-established performance-clutch manufacturer, with products engineered for everything from original-power street cars to dedicated motorsports use.
Purpose & Application
EXEDY flywheels are engineered as matched driveline components rather than cosmetic weight reductions. Its lightweight performance flywheels use one-piece billet or forged chromoly steel construction to reduce rotational inertia while retaining high thermal capacity and integrated ring-gear strength.
A lighter flywheel can improve engine response and rev matching, but it can also reduce stored rotational energy and make low-speed takeoff more sensitive. It is best suited to drivers who value throttle response, faster transient behavior, and performance use over maximum factory-like smoothness.
Configuration
- EXEDY Part Number: NF04
- Configuration: Lightweight Flywheel
- Construction / Character: EXEDY application-specific flywheel
- Torque Rating: Not rated independently as a clutch torque-capacity figure
- Best Suited For: Clutch service or performance builds requiring the listed EXEDY flywheel fitment
Which Option Makes Sense?
For 2003–2007 INFINITI G35 / 2003–2006 Nissan 350Z, this configuration makes the most sense when its intended duty matches the vehicle's actual power and use. Avoid overspecifying clutch aggressiveness: the best setup is the one that maintains the needed torque reserve while preserving usable modulation and protecting the rest of the driveline.
