370Z Clutch Line Upgrade - Experiences?

DIGItonium · 02-06-2011, 12:37 AM

Haha yup... imagine getting the turbo kit installed, getting the brake upgrades (pads, rotors, lines, and fluid), clutch upgrade (clutch, flywheel, line, and fluid), and then the 10 hr. drive home from Houston to Kansas. I'm hoping for a good driving experience.

+1 I agree. The install is fairly simple other than sliding the retaining clip back over the new line beside the exhaust manifold outlet. There is not a lot of room there to maneouvre.

Are you planning on installing yourself ? If so please do a DIY as I'm interested in doing it also..

NewYorkJon34 · 03-11-2011, 10:45 AM

I have a shop that does all my work for me, it should be a pretty straight foward install tho

daisuke149 · 03-11-2011, 11:04 AM

The installllls really easy. Its bleeding / replacing the fluid that takes time

NewYorkJon34 · 03-11-2011, 11:08 AM

I have 2 1/2 bottles of that motul fluid, that should be enough right?

StealthZ · 03-11-2011, 11:16 AM

uh yeah.... plenty

DIGItonium · 03-11-2011, 08:56 PM

I ordered the Z1 lines, and then sold it because the ZSpeed HD CSC comes with the new lines pre-installed. I'll let you guys know in July once all the work on my car is done.
