Sorry for late response but it uses clutch for the nissan. I have the tilton twin carbon and asked for the center that fits the nissan, they priced it at $590.00. I'm like wow so I took the subaru center and a small file and filed the splines a little to fit the nissan input. Same spline count just about iirc .020" difference.

What I used for depth was 5.750" from bellhousing face to front bearing retainer surface.
Bellhousing milled off cd009 to bearing flange. Fa20 bellhousing milled from back to 5.750 from engine face.

To center I used an aluminum shaft turned down to fit the front input bearing of each. After welding I removed aluminuim shaft and cut out the center of the fa20 bellhousing.

Yes it took about an hour but it saved me $590.00
I used a small file from Harbor freight

It would be awesome to have a broach it would be a 5 min job and perfect.

Its a tilton internal slave throwout bearing that came with the clutch. It has a #3 an line. My cd009 had the internal slave. So i cut the tube off the brz that the throwout slides on and interference fit it in the cd009 bearing plate. I used heat to expand the plate and dropped the tube in it for the interference fit. Tilton throwout is held on tube by silicone. per instructions.

Some of the cd009 has a factory internal slave throwout. You could use it. If your using a higher pressure plate you should probably check the 370 forums to see how durable it is with more pressure.
Tilton makes a slave that bolts directly to the late cd009 internal slaves.
I ran the stock master for awhile but I went to a smaller toyota pickup master to increase the release to grab distance.

Yes it should work.

This what centers the bellhousing. Bolt goes through center with a piece of bar that pulls the two together while welding. You can see the difference in input bearing size between brz and cd009. Top brz od 1st step is the 95mm cd009. This is a 95mm cd009. My samurai has the 100mm bearing. There is also a 90mm one.

No, I did not. what I did was every thing that was left inside the brz bellhousing before welding, was cut a notch from the back side, then after welding I cut the front to the notch. The inside is not as pretty as the outside but it works. I could have did better on the inside but I got impatient.

The bottom of brz bellhousing is cut out and plate welded in its place to make enough room to put the cd009 bearing retainer in. The bearing plate also had to be clearenced on the pry tabs.

Your welcome.
If your going use the stock fork and pivot. You might look into reinforcing the fork, some have said it flexes.
The 350z driveshaft is a little short so it has have a spacer.
