4RE Leather Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 No pictures with this but thought I would give a mention to forum member Brooklands350 (Chris) Most of you will know Chris as he has a white JDM Veilside with brooklands written all over it. Chris also ownes a Ferrari Porsche service centre in Swanley Kent called "Brooklands Kent". My clutch being OEM could not handle the power and I was sick to death of asking around and people trying to rape my wallet and playing on my lack of knowledge. So I sourced one myself from the states. It's nothing special just a single plate like the OEM but rated at 600BHP. The guy in the States was a 350z.com member and was extreamly helpfull. Total cost including Customs and P+P was under £350. Anyway Chris not only fitted it in under 3 hrs but did a oil change/clutch fluid and brake fluid as well. Stopped for breakfast and coffee to boot. And what a difference it made. Because the clutch plate is a heavy duty one and a tad wider it means the clutch bites is almost instant. No more waiting till the peddel comes up 4 inches before it bites and it has made the car a real pleasure to drive. It's weired getting instant pullaway but the bottom line is I am happy as i can now get the power as it was meant to be. No more slipping from a burnt out OEM. So a big thank you to Chris who has restored my faith with his honest approach and even talked me through each stage as he worked on the car.
