stansens

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 job is not that bad. Remove engine cover and cross brace. Remove ignition coils and pcv hoses. Unclip various harnesses where applicable. Approx 10 bolts to remove on cover then remove and...

So the fact that the passenger switch doesn't work either when it happens leads me to a circuit issue as well. Check all harness connections for green corrosion or water going back to power source....

I agree that due to mileage and only whirring sound that the starter is most likely at fault. A free tip would be to properly clean and tighten battery and starter connections paying attention to...

When considering what you did the noise sounds like a rattle coming from the header touching the steering shaft. I believe that some headers have one of the pipes come very close to the shaft....

My thoughts are that the friction disc being held in place by the trans being in gear and parking brake engaged put sufficient forces on the pressure plate when you started to turn the crank bolt...

Just got a Red set of the Z1 hoses. They sure look great and super high quality as well. Got the heater hose bleeder and clamps as they say you need it to eliminate air in the system. Bought new...

What a beautiful deep rich colour!!

If it happened right after the pipe install then my thoughts would be any and all bolts loosened during procedure. All gaskets replaced I trust as they get squashed and should not really be re-used...

Up here in the cold north of Canada I have never rec'd. a negative reaction. Lots of kids want to pass and I do not engage as I have nothing to prove. Whenever I fuel up I always get friendly...
