Clutch Industries catalogue says no, 350Z is 24 teeth by 25.5mm, looks like most of the VR6 clutches are 28 teeth by 22.1mm.

What diameter clutch does the VR6 flywheel take? If it's around 240 - 250mm then you could possibly run a Nissan plate in the VW clutch if the thickness is similar.

Ill pull off the gearbox from the test cradle setup i have in next day or two and measure up the vr6 flywheel as i dont know off hand, its a lightened 12lb unit, the engine without a gearbox is 300mm ID of the bellhousing flange so 250mm could be good
