Tay Posted August 4, 2010 Author Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks for the Welcome messages attached a a few pictures. GT spec silver Z. I've posted an issue about the brakes as I couldn't see a similar one and am looking through the posts about clutch issues before I post about the issue I have. Quote
mattbowey Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 shame about the colour i had clutch issues when i got mine, had a new clutch in after 4 weeks of ownership you should be able to find plenty threads about clutch issues though Quote
Tay Posted August 4, 2010 Author Posted August 4, 2010 shame about the colour i had clutch issues when i got mine, had a new clutch in after 4 weeks of ownership you should be able to find plenty threads about clutch issues though Lol, best colour in my opinion. I had the option of buying the grey one but the wheel arches appear more flared in silver and i looked better (too me anyway). There are so many clutch issues with the Z that I'm still reading. My issue is that the clutch has a weird judder sometimes. It's a bit random and happens when I'm pulling away in 1st gear or stuck in traffic. Sometimes it's so bad the car is virtually undriveable. Recently I've noticed a whirring sound. In neutral if I dip the clutch pedal the car is quiet, when I raise the pedal (still in neutral) the whirring noise is apparent. A few days ago i noticed a squeak as I was in 6th. I was too lazy to drop a few gears as I approached a 30 and left it in 6th, the car pulls fine so it's never been a problem. When I was leaving the 30th I pulled away and noticed a squeak that stopped at 35mph. Since noticing that I've now noted a squeak when I pull away on a cold morning in 1st and 2nd gears. I think it might be the clutch and can hopefully invoke the warranty to get a replacement if it fails. Quote
mattbowey Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 cant help you there i'm afraid, mine was just slipping when trying to accelerate with the clutch already out, in all gears. got mine done on the warranty though Quote
Will370z Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Welcome to the forum. Interesting point you raise about the clutch and the whirring noise when you pop it in neutral. I have noticed it intermittently on mine after a drive. Parking up at home if I pop it into neutral I sometimes get that whirring noise. Foot on clutch and into gear and it disappears. Don't know if that is normal behaviour though as I have only had the car 3 days. Getting it checked out soon and I will keep you posted. Quote
Ebized Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Noisey thrust release bearing - very, very common issue and normally nothing to worry about - see here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16709&hilit=thrust+bearing Quote
Will370z Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks for the heads up Ebized, i can rest easy then Quote
