Nothing wrong with an aftermarket clutch! If you can buy it, then do what makes you happy.

I have a CBR600RR and a Nismo and, while I love my Z, the rate of acceleration is not even close. Depending on which publication you believe, the 0-60 time for that bike is anywhere from high 2s to low 3s... even a second longer and it'd still handily embarrass most cars. |

the transmission in the Z is fantittyfuckintastic but the clutch is a flaming piece of ****. I remember glazing my 09 clutch after about 5 passes up the 1/4 mile driving it like you would expect a 45k car to. since then I quickly learned what you can and cant do without repercussion with this car. prepare yourself, plenty of other parts they cheaped out on.... cough cough slave cylinder.....

I think the new clutch purchase was a little premature as others have said. When i had my 09 i did the hard launch thing until i got it out of my system and i COOKED that thing putting it down the 1/4 mile with an amature launch about 4 times. you could smell it 20 feet from the car. then about 20k miles later my slave cylinder went out like they always do, and i had the tech look at the clutch and it was fine. no glazing at all. it takes a LOT of abuse to seriously damage a composite clutch, even single plate.

The clutch is a friction device at the end of the day and if you "ride it" at high RPMS, it will start to smell/burn. This is true with any clutch. You probably wore away a tiny bit of material, i don't think there was anything wrong with it. I don't know whether it was driver error or if your clutch slipped due to an issue with the clutch, but either way the burning smell is something you want to avoid but its no biggie if it happens once.
When i was learning to drive stick in my Tiburon, uphill, i "rode" the clutch as i went up this hill and you could smell it Last edited by NissanGuy23; 08-01-2013 at 12:22 PM. |
