What do u mean riding the clutch...

i have to change gear isn't?

Well, anyone can recommend me wat should i do before i go to track again?

Basically, what they said its over heating.... because the brack is very close to the clutch... which the hydrolic has a pastic which melted.

you are right, in italy track day are open to anyone. You pay, then It's your problem what you do on the track and whatever happens.

Also note the guy drives most of the time with one hand too.

That S2000 is not anywhere near stock. Almost a race setup. I've seen that s2000 take on 360 modenas.

Yeah, I noticed that too...kind of crazy. But, I was impressed by how fast he downshifted and revmatched! Based on how fast he took his turns and passed other cars on the straights, it looks like he's got some race tires and lots of go fast goodies.

BAD NEWS!

Just got it from the Service Representative.


My car, appears to have to change:
a) Master Pump
b) Sleeve Pump Clutch
c) Clutch Assembly (Maybe need to change cause have not take it out to check, but highly possible damage.

I ask what cause this, he said got to check with the mechanic.


Can anyone tell me what cause it to happen?????? isn't my car suppose to be track ready????

and how much does it cost to replace those stuff?

mr2fasterthanyo

well if the clutch master, clutch slave and your clutch all fried i would suspect a couple of things

defaulty equipment/installation from nissan
improperly bled clutch fluid (that can be a real biotch)
i don't think i have ever heard of clutch fluid boiling, but i am sure it cold happen.....

or you were riding the hell out of your clutch, downshifting in-correctly, forcing shifts, etc etc

now would be a good time upgrade that clutch i think as well.....

let us know what you find out.

kelvin1704

Anyone else can tell me what actually happen?

and please recommend things I can do to continue to go to track without harm...

and recommend me upgrade of the system.

Kelvin, how did you downshift? Did you release the clutch immediately without rev matching? Or, did you just feather it in?

I can't think how you could destroy your clutch as a novice track driver unless you just dropped the clutch every time you downshifted or burned it up feathering it.

according to a friend of the driver from the video the 350Z was also heavily modified. In case you were wondering his S2000 in NA.

kelvin1704

I believe that I downshift correctly at the right rev.

However, the incident happen at the point of time at a conner which i deliberately wanted to change to a lower gear to try out a better and faster connering. I am not sure its because of that that cause it or its because of it has been melting slowly...

advice?

kelvin1704

Since its a fact that I have trash it... except maybe i have not trash the cluth assembly...

can someone recommend me what kind of it i have change to?

kelvin1704

Anyone?
