Good afternoon all,
There was a thread which I saw for this, but I have lost it.
I hope someone can help, I have a 2008 350Z. I suspect the clutch is going as the bite point has dropped to the floor (1/2 inch to dis engage) and it really does not like going over 60mph (feels sluggish), plus the acceleration has now gone. I am diving very smoothly and it works ok, with cruise control on esp off. The car is 4 year old and has done about 50,000 miles, but to be fair I am the 3rd owner, which never good for a clutch.
I am looking for a 350Z specialist Garage, who are not looking to rip me off as the main stealer in Lynn have a rep. I will need a new clutch which given its a 310 BHP , I notice the prices are higher then an older 350 model, but before I buy anything I would like to talk with the chap that works on it. I have the same questions as most (after market vs original) but I am noticing there are allot less after market parts for the younger car.
My thoughts after a few months of ownership is that the car is more powerful, but they have not upgraded anything else, thus it wears stuff down much faster, that and the Brembo Brakes are not good enough! I have driven fully laden tractors with better response and stopping power.
Thus can you recommend a garage for me? I don't mind to do an extra distance if the service and prices are better. I would ideally like to find a garage which will remain the only garage for my car while I have it. I am hoping to keep it for long time as I think 350Z will be, if not already a modern classic.
regards
Giz
