Have you got a pic? Might help identify why it keeps closing. Is it when your driving over bumps or just by its self?

Hi all,

looking for some advice on what is the best car covers to get to make sure my new Zed is all wrapped up for the winter as no garage anymore. Looking for one to be used all year round and ideally lined so it doesn’t scratch anything. If anyone has any shares that would be amazing as so many out there and not sure which will be best. Don’t want to spend hundreds so budget will be ideally well under £100. 

Cheers all!

Not going against seller they have done some good deals for me so good seller.

Bad part, I would avoid this clutch as what I had installed in my car not great quality as only lasted 3000miles barly a year and was never tracked or ragged hard. So maybe not his solution.

I have been trying to get some help from manufacture to get sorted but they are sooooo slow in responding as try several times a day and getting fed up.

Had to get new clutch as couldn't be without a car for any longer.

I managed (sorry Torqen) to get Nissan parts at a massive reduction compared to Nissan them selves so that has now been installed.

But yea still fighting to get money or even replacement which will be spare or sold on eBay. Lol

I would talk to Clark Motorsport if u are after a Nissan replacement they did me a great deal on the listed price plus gave me some good advice.

I had a http://www.clarkmotorsport.co.uk/parts/Clutch-Kit-Stage-2/2-piece/6073-2100 installed on my car. Great firm feel except it only lasted about 3000miles!!! And this was not driven hard or tracked! I contacted Clark and he said there were reported problems with this clutch he has seen in the past. He suggested going right to manufacture to get sorted.

If you drive normally and only drop clutch from lights now and then do not get an updated clutch. Basically they are not designed for slow start stop, manicuring using the clutch at low speeds you will burn it out in no time. Plus super heavy clutch pedal isn't the funniest sitting in slow moving traffic. Means no gym for that leg but u get used to it.

Also the other issue with mine was slave cylinder. The clutch as installed just before I bought the car but the cylinder was never upgraded. IF YOU upgrade to a completion clutch of any level then you need to upgrade the cylinders as the stock won't like the added pressure and fail common issue. Means dropping tranny and another labour bill of u have an HR no choice in this. Plus any fluid that leaks could get into the clutch and that means dead clutch. Upgraded cylinder is from about £330! Alone. Plus you will need to do clutch lines to SS lines or equivalent.

I take it you need a flywheel as well??? If so then I would recommend the Xtreme clutch complete kit on clarkmotorsport. It looks pricy but it includes everything you need nothing missed out for a complete solution. If you want stock the same place but you will need a new flywheel and make sure while it's getting done you replace the lines, cylinders to make sure it's basically a new system.

But I was lucky in my pricing as didn't need a new flywheel as single mass installed as pose to a duel mass.

But talk to Clark and they probably give you discount on either option you go for.

But price wise stock means more Xtreme is updated and will be cheaper if you replace all parts like you should.

Choice is up to you but make sure you get a good garage to do the job for you. Expect no more that 4-5 hours labour on this job from someone who knows what they are doing. Mine was replaced and garage only charged me £200 for total job and fluids! He knew what he was doing as used to race touring cars and what have you.

If you pull up and see family cars and nothin else consider what they might charge you. If they have some evos, 911's and things like that then ur car is a doddle to em.

Good luck and let us know what u chose.

i have a 57 HR facelift model, seems online the clutch is not as easy to find as the pre-facelift models.

I also require the cylindric cylinder, clutch plate and cover. any suggestions?

Thanks for the guide, though unfortunately borrowed a car lift to help with this upon seeing where the fluid was leaking from, realised that is was inside the bell housing. Which meant talking to mechanic friend stood there that we needed to drop the transmission to investigate inside the clutch housing. Low and behold the clutch is *********** covered in fluid as well. Means new complete clutch and everything while we were there after dropping the transmission might as well do everything save labour costs again. I now have no free time as work has pulled me in for like 3 straight weeks so no time to fix. Means garage and labour charges now as well as new clutch.

update: Removed the clutch that is barley a year old, its a stage 2 competition clutch with a lightweight single mass flywheel installed. upon looking the clutch had burned right down to the rivets!!! I mean this is silly as the car has only had 2 track days and barley any laps at that. Plus normal driving about 15miles a day. so to burn a clutch in that time something must be wrong with installation to make it burn like that. I mean i don't drive it hard or ride the clutch??

So now i need a complete kit any suggestions?

I am looking at a OEM replacement as realised I have no use for a performance clutch if just normal driving will kill it that fast.

Just had my "presumably" slave cylinder go as pulled up to services after 100mile trip went to go pushed clutch down straight to floor and no retraction. Checked clutch fluid next to brake fluid and it's empty!! Had to get recovered back home over another 100 mile trip on a lorry 😒. I have to get to work so no time to jack up and have a look but looks like reading here it's a slave cylinder.

It does have a stage 2 clutch fitted with a single mass flywheel. Done before I bought the car but they have invoices showing slave cylinder replaced only just over a year ago now. Which to me is to fast for it to go? Maybe set up wrong as had issues with smoothness of first to second and 3rd to 2nd, 1st changes almost impossible some times when cold. Was getting it checked out but now this.

I want to do work myself if possible but can't seem to find any helpful guide in where and how to change slave cylinder. Was also considering upgrading clutch hoses as well while there but again is this a easyish job or just a headache?

My 350z is a 2007 313bhp version if that helps?
