So after much reading I purchased a clutch pedal return spring before actually buying my new Z. Well it turns out that I'm not having any problems with the clutch and it feels perfectly fine. I stalled the engine once but could be the radio was too loud and I wasn't paying enough attention.
Anyways I have this new spring that I won't use so I am offering it up for sale. If anyone can use it I will sell it for $40.00 CDN or $31 USD shipped.

The stock assist spring that comes with the car results in extremely poor clutch feel. The feel is vague and effort linear throughout the stroke of the pedal masking the actual start of the friction zone/engagement point. In the long run, clutch disc wear is increased because of needless clutch slipping while trying to find the engagement point.
By replacing the stock spring with the one in this listing, clutch pedal feedback is greatly improved. The pedal now has a progressive action, with low effort needed at the bottom (near the floor) of the pedal stroke, and increasing effort as the pedal is raised. The actual characteristics of the pressure plate are now readily felt. Because of this, clutch control is much more precise. No more guessing where it might start to grab.
PM me if you want it. Bump.

Enjoying Easter Sunday and probably more so the fact that I picked up my base 2016 370z yesterday. I've driven about 175 kilometers and I must say the clutch has not been all that bad. I have had 5 manual transmission vehicles over the years and some truck driving experience. The clutch pedal is rather heavy compared to a Honda but it's been 20 years since I drove Mt car. I had a 68 Mustang with a big block engine which had a stiffer pedal. I need to strengthen my left leg in order to get things perfectly smooth but pride myself in not stalling the engine yet.
The base radio sounds pretty good with base that you can feel in the seats. Engine needed 2/3 of a litre of oil at 20 km. Most likely not checked at dealer. Fluids and tire pressures good.
I want to thank everyone for all of the information posted on this site so that I didn't have any surprises when getting this car. It's turned out to be far nicer than I expected but then it's also been 29 years since I bought a brand new car. This will be for pleasure use during non winter months and here's hoping the shine doesn't wear off too soon!

This day has always mint a lot to me. I would like to take the time to THANK ALL of you that served and the ones that I always say a prayer to in thanking them for giving their lives so that we can...

Report it to the police. The guy definitely does it to other people.

I'd go to the manager, you'll probably end up with an amazing deal for the Titan.

I know what the FSM says. But this is what is real. Cold start psi is around 100 psi. Once off of fast idle. The pressure drops to around 35~38 psi. The pressure will raise with rpm. It will get to...

For constant, you can tap into the BMF red wire at the back of the interior fuse box. (puts out 80 amps) just put a fuse in line. Accessory is grabbed easiest from one of the cigarette lighter...

Going in sequential order is just placing unnecessary wear and tear on those synchros, sliders and gears, if you don't plan on staying in those gears anyways. If you are just downshifting to come to...

Oh yeah. Found a pic of you in your younger days on a Sunday cruise with your friends. :tup: ...

it is interesting that there is such a huge range in term of mileage between failures. I read some failed with less than 10k miles while other lasted 5 times longer in term of mileage. I wonder...

It has to be driving conditions. If you sit in stop and go traffic it must be an issue. Heat is no doubt what is causing the problem. I have to change my fluid every 8K miles because the fluid goes...

I hear you. I read that some failed immediately after replacement. I assumed that was due to improper installation. My guess some of the key factors are heat and vibration that cause the rubber...

Agree that driving condition is probably the main cause. Dropping the clutch at high rpm and speed shifting would generate a lot more heat and vibration. I imagine the fluid would be less of a...

I have 81k miles on my OEM clutch. bought the 2009 Z car at 52k. I can tell the clutch needs adjusting. I drive half city and half highway and use neutral a lot for what its worth. :driving: don't...

I wonder if Spooler is onto something with the stop and go traffic. I'm not entirely educated on this style clutch but if people sit there at every light with the clutch peddle push down and in first...

Just bought this car, tour/sport pkg, auto. I'm coming from a 13 1LE Camaro. Love it so far

Other than the left side tip, looks and sounds great! Awesome job! Can't beat the price , really. Looking forward to see more videos at full throttle and at idle (cold start and warm)
