andydfc Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hi, I am not exactly fantastic with cars and I have a problem with my 54 plate 350z. Hopefully somebody can help. After driving from Dundee to Aberdeen, and coming down to the lower gears around town, I started losing acceleration, and the revs were going up but the speed wasn't. After also smelling the burning, I am taking it that my clutch is going. I did manage to make it to the Airpark and shoot offshore for 2 weeks, but now I am at a lose. Can anybody suggest where I can order the correct parts for this, and approx time for a change out? I found a clutch kit for £258.99 on japarts.co.uk, is this the way to go? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Feel free to email at andydfc@hotmail.com or reply. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 ZMANALEX is the man to contact. Stock clutch kit is about £300 but well worth they extra as he can deliver super quick and very very reliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Andy, ZMANALEX is based just outside Perth so handy for you. I'd be tempted to run it home..... If you take it easy and avoid town you'd be ok I'd have thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Alex is a bit like a Zed god, all seeing and all knowing Glad you got it sorted matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Glad you did a recovery truck option, Big Phil (an old legend on here) once told me that once the clutch goes it takes less than 100 miles to trash the flywheel. Mind you, if you got a clutch from Alex, you should have bought a lightened flywheel from him too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
