Amin Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I picked up a 2007 350z from a private seller today. Great car, love the look, performance and sound. I have however noticed that when I dip the clutch, towards the bottom, it feels "gritty", not completely smooth. Anyone know what this is? It has recently had new brake discs and pads fitted and the last Nissan service was done about 10 months ago. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 That feeling is normal. The clutch on the zed has a few lumps in the travel. One of the traits of the zed gearbox and clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Is your 2007 a VQ35DE or the HR with the twin air intakes as both clutches work differently? Also what is the mileage? Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amin Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Mine is the model is the bonnet hump, i.e. the newest iteration (is that HR?). Edit - Mileage is 55,000 and it has a full nissan service history. Last service was about a year ago so I do plan to take it in within a month or so. Also, what does the full Nissan service cover? Do they look over all mechancial issues like clutches etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of the early cars running with the bulge bonnets so just because you have the bulge bonnet does not mean that you have the HR.

Amin Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Apologies but can you show me an example for both so I can tell you? It was registered late in 2007. When the car idles, there is a slight knocking noise which goes away when the clutch is depressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just lift the bonnet and check whether it has one air filter box or two, simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
