  1. I recently buggered my standard clutch so I was shopping around for a clutch and light flywheel. As like most though I didn't want something that was going to sound like the gearbox was going to drop out. I reckon an aluminium one would be too much noise to cope with.

     

    After a couple of traders hadn't replied to me, about their kit I went to clark motorsport and saw their extreme organic clutch and single mass flywheel kit.

    Now my knowledge about clutches is limited I'm not too clued up technically so bare with me.

    when I had it fitted, straight away it felt a lot better than standard, more aggressive but easy to use day to day. It seems to grab better and going through the gears feels more responsive. It just feels strong and sharp.

     

    As for the flywheel the car spins up so much quicker now. Coming from a long line of Hondas which rev up quick, the only thing I didn't like about the v6 was that it felt a bit lazy. It now spins up like a 4 pot. Much more rev happy.

    Now I know a lot are a bit wary of going to single mass for the noise. It really is hardly ever noticeable. The only time I can hear it really is when I put slight revs on in 2nd gear it makes a bit of noise but that's been picky. You'd have to turn radio down to hear it. I doubt it would bother the fussiest of drivers.

     

    All in all the kit is great. Definitely recommend it. The guys at Clark were good too. Talked me through everything and a great service. Cheers

  2. Bit of a long shot but if someone has the above or a lightweight flywheel on its own give me a shout. Obviously must be good nick. Not feeling flush enough to buy new at the minute as I'm half way through having my new kitchen fitted and the zeds clutch is totally gone

  3. Cheers for the input, I work away all week and the small amount of time at home I get, I am renovating a house. So you can imagine how much time I get free to disassemble fan motors. Hence why I am asking for some cheap working ones. Time literally is money. The only thing I look forward to after a week down south I'd a spin in my z. So as requested I'd like some working ones from someone breaking please as I don't want to open a can of worms messing around.

  4. Although for me a well tuned V8 is king, I have to say I am rather partial to a nice 2JZGTE...

     

     

    I am also rather fond of my old Supra...turn up the sound! sorry crap video and sound is out of sink.

     

    oh mate, was that really yours? Obviously a woman made you sell it right? I'd marry that car
  5. The Z is a properly nice sounding car Dan regardless of wether we own them or not. That's one of the reasons I bought one ;) I did forget about the NSX though still not enough to take top spot away from le Z :)

    sorry Arran, but have to disagree, the zed engine has been one of the most dissappoint sounding engines I've owned. Its not a bad sound, but its a long way from being the best. If I'm honest even with exhausts etc I'd put it as an average sound. Not dull, but doesn't set my heart a light.

    each to their own but it's the sound of the zed that made me want one. If I didn't hear one scream past me that one day I would be driving a dc5. Which sound cak
  6. It will be the fan motors. Put the a/c on and have a look at the fans- both should be on. Common problem with the 350z.

    the air con/heater blows air but no, no fans. I've checked fuses near battery and bled radiator. Has anyone managed to fix the motors or fitted any from something else? Could do without shelling out full price as I've just ordered a new kitchen and need to sell my civic . :/
