Clutch Masters 09-21 Nissan GT-R R35 DCT Steel Flywheel
The Clutch Masters FP-GTR-SF is a billet 4140 steel flywheel, also called a flexplate, for the R35 Nissan GT-R with the VR38DETT twin-turbo V6 and six-speed dual-clutch transmission. GT-R owners usually shop for it when they are building past factory power, adding bigger turbos, fuel and a tune, and do not want to keep relying on the thin original flywheel at the front of the driveline. Clutch Masters says the factory part is prone to cracking and designed this one to handle much higher output.
The R35 is laid out differently from most dual-clutch cars. The engine sits up front, but the GR6 six-speed dual-clutch gearbox, its clutch packs and the rear differential sit together in a transaxle at the rear axle, with a propeller shaft carrying torque back from the engine. That means there is no clutch disc bolted to this flywheel. Its job is to couple the crankshaft to the driveline at the engine end and carry every pound-foot the VR38 makes, including the shock of launch control and hard shifts. On a built engine that load climbs fast, which is why a thin factory part becomes a concern and why upgraded clutch packs inside the transaxle are only half of a high-power driveline.
Clutch Masters machines the FP-GTR-SF from billet 4140 steel on CNC equipment in the USA, and each one is assembled and inspected by a technician. The factory spacer is integrated into the new flywheel, so the original spacer is not reused.
A failing flywheel and failing clutch packs can both show up as harsh engagement or noise, but they live at opposite ends of the car. Scan the transmission control unit for stored codes and check clutch learn and wear data before assuming the problem is up front. Dual-clutch gearboxes in general fail in recognizable ways; our DSG mechatronic and clutch problems guide and PowerShift dual-clutch guide explain how clutch-side faults present, which helps separate them from a cracked flywheel. If the flywheel is visible, inspect it for cracks around the bolt circle.
Our listing covers the 2009-2021 Nissan GT-R R35 with the factory dual-clutch transmission. Clutch Masters states the FP-GTR-SF fits all 2009-and-later R35 models, including USDM, JDM, Gulf Spec and European cars. It is not for the earlier R32, R33 or R34 Skyline GT-R, which use conventional manual clutches. If your car has had driveline modifications, send us the year and VIN and tell us what has been changed before ordering. Building the rest of the driveline? The R35 Level 5 front axle, left and right are built for the same high-power cars.

Clutch Masters describes the factory R35 flywheel as thin and prone to cracking. The FP-GTR-SF is machined from billet 4140 steel for cars making much more than stock power.
The flywheel accepts OEM, ARP or T1R bolts, and new bolts are recommended. The factory spacer is not reused because the spacer is integrated into the new flywheel.
No. The R35 keeps its dual clutches inside the rear-mounted GR6 transaxle. This part couples the engine to the driveline at the front, so clutch upgrades are a separate job.
Run the transmission clutch learn procedures with a capable scan tool after the driveline is reassembled, and check for codes before hard driving.
