Question About The Clutch

confucius

First, let me say that I think you should have long way to go before needing a clutch. I traded my 6-speed Alti Coupe in with over 100,k miles on its original clutch, and now the Z has done 120,k. I'm blown away by these numbers. Go Nissan. (And these are the first Nissan products I've ever owned in 30+ years of driving sports cars/bikes.)

To your specific question-
I asked an older Vette buddy where he had work done and he steered me to Duke & Lee's. It's a small 4th generation family-owned shop in far west suburban Geneva. I have them do the big stuff that I think the dealer wants way too much for and that I don't have the time or tools to tackle myself. They aren't a "speed & custom” shop by any stretch, but every time I'm in there they have some kind of concours-level classic car in for maintenance. And they are like 100 feet from the Geneva to Chicago train station.

I continue to go back to them because they are very competent, honest, reasonably priced, and do things the right way - as in; read the installation instructions of the special parts I bring in to make sure everything is a 'correct fit' and that any needed misc parts are available before tearing it down, replacing any used or worn components along the way (like gaskets & rusted bolts) as a matter of course, and walking me under the car to show me the work completed - along with showing me the condition of the removed bits. Genuine old school goodness.

They've done the following over the last several years for me:

For my 370-
Stillen slotted rotors/pads
Stillen cat back exhaust
Nismo coil springs
Koni struts
Eibach sways/Raceline end links
Now my ACT clutch, Stillen flywheel, OEM master & Zspeed (CSC) slave cyclinders

Before that, my previous car - an Altima Coupe-
Eibach springs
Eibach sways
Stillen drilled rotors/pads


I hope that answers your question.
