Anything suggestions? Maybe we forgot to grease the pilot bearing?

Wow im literally getting this exact same issue with my cmak!! At first it was only occasional squeaking, then as a few weeks went by i'd then noticed sometimes i could hear and feel clicking sounds in the clutch peddle when i slowly release it..didnt happen often

fast foward to now and both have gotten worse and it happens pretty much every time i use the clutch :shakes head: best would be to ask joe, see what he says, i havent called yet since time zone difference and its also stupid expensive to call from where i am...... mind you, mine is also fairly new too got it around may-june nor have i put much miles on it since!

So a short update on the clutch: it was an installation error.

The clutch bearing slides over a part which is mounted with two screws. We forgot to put loctite on them and one of them came loose. We removed the gearbox and fixed the issue. As of then I did two trackdays, a 2000 mile rally through europe and a lap on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. All is well :)

Man you should of posted that yesterday!

I just installed my new engine last night and i had a very similar issue with my cmak but never bothered to check the transmission side of things. * hoping that it's not those screws that are causing my noise

You should go ahead and get the subframe inserts too. They're relatively cheap and since you'll be there with the diff bushing install might as well.

You won't notice too much of a difference in the ride.

I must suck at searching, because for sure there already is a "how to drop the engine" how-to... I just cant find it. Anyone can point me in the right direction?

I did not watch it so I have no idea if it is hot garbage or not but here is a vid from This Thread.

Thanks for that, it was helpful!

Question: here in europe the big splash guard under the engine is really expensive. Shipping of the Z1 plate from US to Europe will be over 500usd.

Have we seen creative solutions mounting the 2015+ Nismo front bumper without using a new nismo underguard? I will be able to get the fender splash guards for just 90 usd so thats fine.

Check and see if there are any forum members who are military stationed in Europe... shipping it to them would be cheaper since they have APO/FPO boxes then they could just use DHL or whoever from their location to you. I'd have helped you out but I moved back to the States last Spring.

Martijn_b 01-21-2019 11:44 AM

Thanks! Anyone reading this stationed in for example Belgium or Germany - hit me up!

By the way, did anyone already make brake duct inserts for the 2015+ Nismo bumper? I am upgrading to this bumper, but I dont want to run LEDS. Instead, I want to use the cutouts for the LEDS to make brake cooling.

Martijn_b 02-04-2019 07:45 PM

Nobody on the brakeducts?

Btw.. progression on the build here..https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a1c731263b.jpg
