made a classic mistake of both being stupid, and putting too much faith in a shitty part. yesterday it rained so the roads were wet so I decided to show off the waste of money "the Z" to my grandfather and do a little smokey launch. reved to about 5k and dumped it and it instantly redlined, so stupid me I tried to grab second and then third. It was burning the clutch not the tires. ON WET PAVEMENT with 10k miles on the car and this is the official first time ive flogged it.

So now when I start off it jutters a lot, it stinks like hell....... but it doesnt seem to be slipping at all. I did several hill start tests and a few digs from 3500 and it acts just like it did when I bought it.

something to note, I did the clutch peddle adjustment from another thread and noticed there are 2 "switches" that the peddle hits when its fully depressed and full out, now I dont know if that messed with the timing of the CSC/MC or not. So it could be my fault entirely. I should have known better than to rev it so high in each gear and power shift it like that....... but the thing that gets me is its the EXACT SAME THING as doing a redline shift while in motion, the clutch still has to match the flywheel. In this case the piece of **** failed.

Do you think the clutch is done for? I just drove 600 miles on it this weekend and it feels and acts normal but smells like **** every time I shift. zero slip.

So it's the shitty part that's the problem? Heh!

Aaahhahaha lmfao, but ur car is fine as long as u didn't weld ur clutch. This car sux stock so dont worry about it ull change it be4 u hit 30k miles with a new lighter grabbier clutch n slave cylinder.

Did that once in my buddies 350...he thought he turned traction off but forgot. Dumped the clutch and man I went no where. Clutch smelled for a whole day and felt weird. Eventually it ended up fine again. Hopefully yours will!

Maybe if you had a SR one, it would have worked properly!

Somehow I was hoping for VDC off and his Z ended up in a junkyard....

chii370 · 06-30-2014, 09:45 AM

Not sure why you would want any z to end up in the yard regardless of owner. But hey, ******** have opinions too. Yeah it seems fine now, aside from the paranoid thoughts im having that its now broken. Any suggestions of popular clutches that support a lot of ponies but arent TOO hard to drive? Dont mind price.

Limeybastard · 06-30-2014, 10:01 AM

Hopefully you just glazed the clutch face and it should be fine after a few hundred miles.

chii370 · 06-30-2014, 12:06 PM

Whats everyone running? I want something with somewhat oem drivability but also able to handle anything you can throw at it. Anyone have that OSG grand touring?

1slow370 · 06-30-2014, 01:28 PM

i do it's a beast clutch, all the twin plates are tricky but the GT is manageable on a dd.

DOOMMONKEY777 · 06-30-2014, 06:27 PM

The nismo clutch hands down.

NOBLE|370Z · 07-01-2014, 09:55 AM

Get a kit from Z Speed Performance. Joe is really helpful and willing to take the time to answer all of your questions. I bought the complete stage 3 kit. I have a TT set up so I needed something that holds the power since my oem clutch kept slipping.

Even though the clamping force is much higher than stock, it still doesn't require much more force to push on it.

Burning the $hit out of your clutch doesn't count as flogging

Just reminds me of this guy...
