@da.murf thank you for posting this

no bother at all. 
 

zero drone, just bit more grunty at low rpm and nice loud rip on wot 

proper GT exhaust set up in my opinion. 
 

but I still occasionally find myself looking at a tomei single exit with decats lol

Any video footage of how this set up sounds like?

Sadly no I don't. 

pretty much identical to my current setup

Weather here was amazing yesterday! Car got a quick wipe down

Thanks for the link, another thing added to the continuing list of things I want but don't actually need. 

plans are to start to look at interior to smarten up with long term aim of bride/recaro buckets with a dipped interior.

thoughts, experiences and opinions welcome as always

For my old GTi had a XTD flywheel from the US, still have the OE one on my 350z. 

Sorry meant to ask what pulley you went for on the zed lol

I know what you mean. I had a lightweight crank pulley on my Almera GTi along with lightened flywheel for years and never had an issue. You of course hear about what can happen when removing the OE dampened steel pulley, however I very much doubt the SR20DE was engineered better than the VQ35DE. Inherently a V6 better balanced internally than a in line 4 too. 

 

No negatives so far, only driven it once for a couple hours - wished I had fitted it sooner but it's on now. 

 

That really cool, It's nice to see. Above modded cars and even cleaning cars that's my no.1 interest so can appreciate that. 

What flywheel you go for? Have you a link ?

Nice side by side video, shows the difference straight away.

 

Liking your other much earlier uploads too, all praise to Yeshua.

yeah hard to do a driving video but it’s more noticeable on WOT etc and makes Rev-marching slightly easier I find. You got me seriously considering the pulley now lol. I come from a motorbike and Honda background so love free reving stuff. You notice any negatives?
 

lol they where going back 13yrs. Little project for a church I worked for then. Still hoping one of them to hit the million views mark lol! 

Thanks guys. 
 

biggest difference so far has been the xtreme uprated clutch and lightweight flywheel. 
 

here is a side by side video comparison 

Been looking at this myself. Was it a big job to fit ? Did you follow a guide ??

so bit of an update, last few months have been busy for the zed, as above the lmgt4's where fitted but then I bit the bullet and decided to do something I'd really wanted to do for a long time, smoothed front bumper with no plate and nice rocket bunny style spoiler. 

photos of the finished look.

I then added a cheeky alcantara retrimmed Royal Steering Wheel 

So the updated spec is

2006 350GT in Universal Silver

64250 miles

19'' LMGT4 staggered wheels 

30mm Eibach springs

5mm spacers front and rear

LED side lights and rear light upgrades

Alcantara Steering Wheel

Fully smoothed and de-plated front bumper

Mines Style Front Splitter

Tarmac Sportz side skirt extensions

Milltek Exhaust

Stillen Y Pipe

JanSpeed Decats

PopCharger Intake

Tarmac Sports Ducktail revetless spoiler

Homemade colour coded de-wiper kit

Zunsport front grill replace

Removed weight from boot (just why nissan??)

Smoked side tints and heavy smoked rear glass

Pioneer Double Din digital Headunit

Mintec Dimpled and Groove discs & Brembo high performance break pads

HEL Orange braided brake lines front and rear

polybushed front and rear arb bushes

HEL Braided clutch line

Upgraded Clutch Slave cylinder

Xtreme Upgraded Clutch Kit and Lightweight Single Mass Flywheel

350z-Forum Burnout and tcs module

WhiteLine Upgraded W Brace

New OEM Nissan Kidney Brackets

Very happy with visually how it looks now, plan is to tidy/touch up some of the small marked areas in the interior and then long term look at a set of bucket seats.

Thanks for looking.

Will do, particularly when I'm back in the UK. These things are tough to find in good condition - makes me worried about using them!

thanks. As mentioned, my dream seats lol!!! 

Those are my dream seats right there lol. If you ever think of selling them Please keep me in mind lol. 
 

car looking great!!

Best to go back to whoever supplied the clutch kit and also the garage that fitted it.

 

Under the circumstances, that is the only way for an informed diagnoses and hopefully a free fix.

yeah garage is taking it back Thursday, and I’d be 100% confident in the mechanics ability as he is a good friend and really took his time and care on it 

Ive touched base with supplier to let them know im having issues and it’s being investigated. 
 

im so hoping it’s just a faulty bearing or faulty slave cylinder.

Sounds like blockage/debris in the clutch line to me, first thing I'd do is a flush, and if you replace them, replace both cylinders.

But less than 6 months after full flush and, new lines and slave cylinder ?

It’s a DE Rev Up. 
 

pedal feel is there but, would a failed

slave cylinder on lose the pedal??

Hi Everyone, In a complete pickle here!!

In march I installed a new xtreme clutch/lightweight flywheel, koyo release bearing/oem slave cylinder and braided clutch line to my 350z.

it has done 2500 miles since then, all the miles have been relatively easy to run everything in etc.

Car was going great until saturday. 

On way home gear change started to get a bit 'resistant' it was getting tough to push it into each gear. And then at a stop it became impossible.

Clutch in, and nope not accepting the gear. No grind etc etc.

Car was sitting still, no handbrake etc

car was def noisier pulling away just before it became impossible to drive. 

Then weirdest part was when the car was at standstill, clutch in, when it wouldn't go into gear, but as I tried to push it into first, the clutch still in, the car began to start to creep forward. 

turned car off. got the gear shift into first with clutch in, when to start and the car bumped forward on the starter motor with the clutch in.

Then when I put car back into 'neutral' and switched off engine, released the clutch, something seemed to free up, and i could deject gears etc ok again and car was 'drivable' 

Clutch pedal was very stiff though and also small clunk 1/2 way up pedal travel.

It's off to mechanic this thursday to drop the gearbox to inspect the release bearing, clutch and flywheel etc etc. 

BUT has anyone come across this or something like it before and shed some thoughts or light???

I fear it's inside the gearbox, but as mentioned it was driving and selecting gears ok after something free'd up again.

Any help, thoughts or experiences welcome.

Thanks 

some mpg. was that mainly motorways?

My mpg has risen to approx 30mpg commuting to work etc but that is all main roads etc 30mph

My nice new Nismo LMGT4's refurbed in Hyper Silver. @ZMANALEX kindly supplied the new decals, centre nuts and value stems etc.

5mm spacers added all round.

Chuffed to say the least!

few updates recently.

Spotted a set of LMGT4's on eBay and turned out to be a seller on here. HAdn't planned on moving on wheels this summer as I had been saving for enkeis, but at the money including good tires I couldn't say no and a deal was done.

They arrived in BMW Shadow Chrome and honestly looked pretty good. But I decided to go Hyper Silver and am pleased I did.

I added 5mm spacers front and rear, may go another 10mm in rear in the future, but will see how I go or if anything turns up 2nd hand lol.

Next step is to smooth front bumper and run a magnet behind to allow a plate to be removable and also add a Tarmac Sports Ducktail without the rivets.

But very very happy how she sites right now.

They where fitted for 24hrs then I changed my mind on direction of style of kit I was going for. 
 

tarmac sportz supplied them. Fitting was good, you can see in first 3 photos the small holes I had tapped for small screws to get the fitting perfect. 
 

forth photo shows only mark. Small rub on the finish from storage in last year. 
 

let me know if you are interested. If not then onto eBay with them lol. Forgot I even had them lol. 
 

Sorry lad will do it now. Clean forgot

have a set here. will snap a photo when I get home soon.
