You never get a "sticky" clutch pedal on track? I had this twice on the Nurburgring now

Didn't have any issue with sticky clutch, I have SS line, rjm HD CMC, rjm pedal, cmak, and OS htr2cd. I use Castrol srf for fluid. But I think number of times I shift in a session are less than one lap at the ring

6 upshifts, 5 downshifts per lap, 11 total (12 if we counted 4th-3rd at first turn).

I felt a slippage with the clutch last time I drove it, so hopefully my transmission is fine. I think these little kilometers were very hard (nearly full time trackdays, autocrossing) lots of shifting and launching.

If I went back to before the clutch upgrade, I had two oem csc failed, one after I bought the car (used so maybe first owner), fixed on warranty, the other after like 25k kms, mixed street and track use, but didn't get sticky clutch as I had ss lines and dot 4 fluid as my first mod.

So after Clutch install, the clutch has benn much easier to drive on, it hold power well, but pedal efforts still higher than what I imagined it will be. I feel the flywheel is light on higher rpms, but a little heavy on low rpms, I would loved if I have that light feel everywhere. Anyway, my z has became a lot more friendly in traffic. Unfortunately, it looks my synchros are bad, the grind in 5th didn't go.

Some photos I took for the car

Too bad, hope you can find a good used gearbox locally for not too much.

My race car update, lots of work with it, full bolton with hondata, and rear big swaybar, I found vtec wasn't working

and because of all the noise inside the car, I wasn't suspecting it, anyway, after all the work, my car is now the fastest car in the straight, still understeers which held the car back in turns, started in 9th, climbed until 6th, until an angry guy stopped the race. I need to work on my racing lines and fix some issues for next season.

JARblue · 03-16-2020, 12:32 PM

lol were those guys about to throw down right there on the track? How stupid can you be?

AlWakRa · 03-16-2020, 03:32 PM

The red EG has a clutch failure, but the swift driver was a crazy case, he got involved in a car contact and snapped and stopped in the middle of the track. He got suspended from racing locally and internationally (if he ever tried to do it).

Sound like dirt track racing in the 80's in Georgia. LOL

You need to do something with that floppy gauge.

I know I know, I wanted to do them, but focused on other issues, now season is finished, I can work on it without pressure.

Finally all caught up! Thanks to this thread, my stress on a 275/40/18 tire is gone.

AlWakRa · 06-05-2020, 04:25 PM

Happy to hear that, trying to help a little as I got a lot of help from the community here.

No new updates but this in one of the ways I spend quarantine time

I will use them to learn a track that I have never run on but then turn them off. I have found there line is not necessarily the fastest line.
