Is this all the gear neaded for the install ? Or does it require anything else purchasing? Thanks

Cheers guys seen some nismo ones on ebay but their £200 might just get these im abit weary of dippkng as ive never seen the results ? Thanks

Where is the best place to buy these in the uk ?

Had similar issues with the clutch on my GT Edition.

 

Travel at 70+ for any prolonged period of time and the clutch has no feeling for around 60% of the travel and the remaining 40% feels normal. Lower the speed and it goes back to normal.

 

Going to take it to the stealers and see what they say.

Keep us posted on what they say be interesting to see how they treat you probably try and fob you off like the rest of us 😄 good luck though

This morning around 5:30 flashed my hazards on the way past in a 370z nismo in red.On the a31 hogs back ?

Not sure ,i know i could only buy the 370z nismo from a hp center ill have to give them a call to find out

I have always found martins Nissan in Winchester to be very very helpful . Might be worth a phone call / trip to them ?

 

I'd would be going ape if I'd bought a new car and the clutch went at that sort of mileage !!!

Hi mate is this one a high performance centre ? Ive been told the 370z can only go to one of these ? Thanks

So basically my car 370z nismo has just coverd 6500miles and the clutch has started to slip when under full load gets worse when the car heats up . Also the biting point is higher to what it was.

I took it to the dealer as its only a few months old and they have told me its wear and tear and they wont coveer it under warrenty unless they can prove its something else but to do this they want me to put down £370 for them to strip the gear box and do a inspection .

I do drive the car hard but should the cluch have gon already ? Thanks

I had a burning smell in my 370z a few years back with only 4500k on the clock the Nissan dealer told me the clutch was basically burnt out, although it still drove great, but they said it was not under warranty ( wear & tear ) i was fuming

I contacted Nissan UK explaining the situation, they contacted the dealer, pictures of the clutch were exchanged between the Dealer and Nissan UK. Then Nissan UK authorised the Dealer to fit me a new clutch, great result

I now have a 370 Nismo and every now and again i get that horrible burning smell in the car, generally when i am trying to carefully park my car half on the path and road, so obviously im slipping the clutch slightly.

Don't let the dealer fob you off, they are only happy when you are parting with your money.

Contact Nissan UK and explain the situation. Good Luck

ps i wouldn't mention that bit about driving the car hard.

Ok mate thanks I'll definatly give it ago anythings worth a shot than paying for a new one haha. No burning smell just slipping when under heavy load .Nissan should cover it like yours its low milage !

I would be very surprised that you can kill a clutch in 6.5k miles unless you do really like riding it.

 

I understand everyone elses points of view on going aftermarket as its better but after dropping 30k+ on a car I would be devastated. Part of the reason for going for a new car is that its underwarranty.

 

Just as an FYI I have done 57k in my 370 and in this time its done 4 track days/sessions. The clutch is perfectly fine still.

Thanks for everyones respones really appreciate it as i am pretty bumbed out about this as you can imagine! you have all reasured me that it carnt be just standard wear . Just need to decide which nissan dealership to go to know .

I have done no more than 5 standing launches since new . no track days yes its been driven in a few traffic jams but most miles are on free roads and i dont ride the cluch or atleast i dont think i do haha so their must be some sort of problem

** Warning **

 

If you are going to take your car to this particular Nissan Dealer I would forget any idea of them fitting an uprated clutch and be very concerned in them actually fitting an OEM kit correctly. Not here to name and shame or go into to detail in this matter. Your gut feeling is usually the right one!

Yes they are terribly they tried delivering my car two weeks late then when it arrive it never had the exstras fitted i orderd and had to wait 7 weeks for door sills and car matts to arrive haha.

Any recomendations to a better nissan dealer to take it to ?

I would have to ask the question why would Nissan want to strip the gearbox to determine why you have a clutch slip problem???

 

If the clutch slips under load and the clutch is adjusted properly (it shouldn't need any adjustment after just 6.5K) then why the hell are they not investigating, apart from that how in hell can they put that down to ware and tear...its virtually a new car, have you thought about contacting Nissan head office and see what they have to say?

They said the only way they can do a warrenty job is if the clutch wear is out of the ordinary ie caused by a damaged flywheel or something like that . even though its worne fast if the wear is even then its my fault and i would then be charged for the investigation and the gear box strip and refit . So they have me over a barrel lol

Tricky one, I can see this from your side, if the failure is due to components and not abuse/miss use then you would hope they would put this right. If you do end up going down the route of the uprated clutch and flywheel then I would tread carefully of getting a Nissan main dealer to fit this as 9 times out of 10 they prove to be less then helpful in my opinion.

Thanks man i got your message of the extreme clutches you supply this would be my last resort ie if nissan fail to do anything il have to go this route and id be getting horsham developments to fit . Thanks

No i havent contacted head office but i definatly will be .

West Way nissan in Aldershot where i purchased the car from have been absolutly shocking from the start but i wont go on a rant haha. Just after some advice as in who i shold be speaking to and whever this is normal . And no history of ever killing a clutch haha but then i have never ownd a car as powerful last car was an 2.0 diesel scirocco

It's a tricky one. My initial thoughts would be to take them to SCC, but it's certainly possible to kill a clutch via wear & tear in 6.5K miles.

 

Tbh, I'd take the car elsewhere, get them to put a better clutch in and suck up that cost BUT get them to check everything at the same time. If they find anything wrong, then bingo: You go back to Nissan and state your case then.

I am playing with the idea of a uprated cluch and flywheel idea but if i can get it done underwarrenty for free id rather do that for now anyways . The car hasnt seen the track but i do give her a few good runns out a month didnt think it would kill the clutch in such a short time after all the car should be built for alittle more abuse then a bit of spirited road driving . Just abit gutted ....

Probably next door who your wife knows. Liz and Andrew ? Nice people (also my landlord)

As long as you're who I think you are, I spotted you on Upper Hale Road about 13:30 in your red 15 plate 370z Nismo. Was 2 cars behind you in my GM 350z and stalked you home...

 

Well I was heading to Badshot Lea and ended up stalking you home. Wasn't on purpose honest!

 

Great sounding exhaust btw. Wasn't your set up a Invidia Gemini with Berk HFC?

 

Oh a random note, I think your mum worked with my wife before. She was the one who mentioned how nice the 370z Nismo looks, and the reason I know where you live. She also mentioned how much of a nightmare it is getting out of there, as it's on the junction!

Haha yeah thats me but theirs 3 house down that drive just me and my other half im a northener haha rest of the family all live in north Yorkshire. I just live down here for work just over a year now

Good write up Kharmon and I like the AAM tips, ...does seem to suit it better.

Thanks mate just had some time to kill

Motordyne art pipes .... Best of both , all the benefits from decats and quieter than hfc . Speak to Torqen .

Id say this ^^^^^^ is your best bet for performance whilst keeping the sound down . Im running invidia cbe with berk hfc and its still pretty loud but i love it haha

Yeah fingers crossed !!!

Ah ok seen a few gunmetal ones local to me ill keep my eye out for yah wouldnt be so sure on swapping mines back at the dalers next week clutch has gone already:( for some reason

The down shifts sound amazing

 

Definitely. Heard it in person a few weeks back when I was stuck 2 cars behind you in my GM 350z. Awesome sound

Is that the nice black 350z ive seen around here ? Look sweeet

on another dyno the initial 324bhp could easy be 340bhp+. dyno's should be used purely to measure gains, in your case very almost 32hp which seems spot on for N/A bolt on tuning.

Ah ok that makes sense thanks for the info not a bad gain after all then
