Hey guys So I finished my 12hour night shift and got back to my car only to find I couldn't put it in gear, when I had just switched the car on, even tried reverse and it was just making some loud grinding noise, literally had to force it in gear, when the car was off it was going in all gears fine. Eventually started driving and it was getting easier to put into gears, but then the peddle was only coming upto half way, after about 15mins it was driving perfectly fine. I just hopped in the car now to go for a drive and same issue had to force it into reverse, and 1st. The clutch was changed to a competition stage 2 clutch and also had the flywheel changed same time, at the time of installing the garage, had trouble with master and slave cylinder, so both were changed, I tried contacting the garage that did the work and they've closed down now. Any advice on what to do?

So the last time I got my car serviced with the local dealer they gave me free nissan roadside assistance, so I gave them a call and they sent out RAC. This morning when he arrived to my suprise the car started straight away, he put the heating onto max in the cabin and let the car run, he took the rad cap off and topped up coolant, apparently I had lost just under a litre. We let the car run till the normal running temp, meanwhile he checked the rad/fan fuses by the battery. Which were all fine. The fan kicked in at a moderate speed and everything seemed normal, he then started to rule out the fault, he held the revs at 3000rpm now with the heating off, eventually the fans kicked in again at a higher speed. He checked both the coolant hoses and both were hot as well as the rad which meant it wasn't the thermostat sticking, he stated that if it was the thermostat then the right side of the rad as well as the right coolant hose (closest one to the dipstick) would not be hot. That then ruled out the thermostat, fan and fuses. He then took the rad cap off and covered it with a rag to let any excess air out, nothing really found there. At this point we found no faults, thermostat, fans and heating all working, the car had been running approx 40 mins now with temp gauge normal, as he was packing up and sorting his paperwork, he asked me switch then engine off, when I went to take the key out I noticed the temp had shot up to the max. We then switched car off and he said there can be one of two issues now that everything else has been ruled out 1. There is a blockage in the coolant system or 2. The water pump is faulty He then ruled out the blockage by saying if there was a blockage there would be no hot air coming through, which left he diagnosis being that it is a faulty water pump. I rang up the 2 local nissan dealerships and got quoted the following for parts 1. Westway nissan Mill Hill NW7 £113 + vat 2. Glyn Hopkins Watford WD17 £129 Inc vat I'm waiting on quote for labour as of yet. The 2nd dealership also mentioned if I'm not 100% it is the water pump, I can pay £107 for them to diagnose the issue and if I do proceed with them doing the labour they will take the £107 off the total price. Cheers for replies I'll keep you updated

They came on after I physically pushed one, but then ran slower than normal, I tried starting the car again but everything on the dash disappeared and then eventually started clicking so I think battery has gone flat again.

hey guys I had some unknown issues with my Z today, the battery was dead as I hadn't driven it for two months, I jumped it with a second car and left it running and about 20 mins later I heard some wining noise from the bonnet, so I popped it open and my coolant overflow was literally pissing out coolant and I checked my temp gauge and it was on max so I switched it off, but the coolant just kept coming out???? don't know what has happened need some real help, my fans are moving I don't know if there going slower than usual I can't really tell.

Some idiot hit my z while it was parked and drove off so I'm now after a wing for the passenger side please if anyone can help. cheers hassam

Finally got the car back gear shift plate adjusted and defo notice how light it is, didn't even have to adjust my driving style,they changed the gear box oil again and its silky smooth, cheers for all the help guys.

I had knocking coming from my driver side a few months back and it ended being the wheel hub bearing

Lol ill gladly rev it more fuel is not a issue, and Alex I only popped down to the garage for a test drive after they fit the new master, hopefully get the car back Tuesday when it's all ready to go, especially if the noise is normal on a smf, might just have to get a louder exhaust to cover it.

It was definitely the master cylinder which was the issue the rod wasn't long enough, after fitting the one I ordered along with the slave the car is driveable again, only problem I have now is that it's really loud upto 2000 rpm, and biting point is rough, is that normal? Or do I just have to put up with it till the break in of the new clutch, I would like to add it's defo more responsive, it's hard to get into 5th and 6th tho. The person I spoke to at the garage quoted me wrong and they only charged me £50 for cmc and csc change.

Still waiting on a call back from their so called technician

The garage has just rang me saying it's definately the master cylinder and apparently the rod is not long enough??? Trying to charge me £300 labour on it?

So what would be the issue then? I'm sure it should of been a simple job to swap it straight over

I've ordered the master slave and clutch line will get work done on Tuesday and let u know how it pans out, I've checked your thread mate thanks

Forgot to add the price for the master is £79 delivered and slave is £59 delivered, braided clutch line was £25
