I got 04' z, when i drive it really fast some kind of burning smell comes,would it be the clutch burning or is it some thing else,do any 1 of u gt same problem, pls advise wat it will be

 

Then don't drive really fast. Really.

 

I almost always get that when I'm playing around with my Z and then park it. It's just the high heat of the exhaust and engine....it will go way after a couple mins or when it cools down...

 

i hope its not something bad

 

the clutch burning will have a really "sweet" smell to it... sorta like brown sugar melting on the stove.

if you smell it inside the car after accelerating hard, it's likely your clutch. Either way, don't just let it go.... get it checked out. The money it might save you is worth the time.

 

Does it happen only under WOT?

 

Too bad you cannot attach a odor. We should work on that.

 

i bet its your clutch...learn to drive it fast before you drive it fast ;-)

 

 

Could that smell come from your underpants due to extreme speed? Might also want to check it out. The only thing I smell is the funk due to previous owner not running out all the AC air from the unit.

 

Will da smell come if the pulley belt is craked or weak

 

So what happens when you don't run all the AC air out? I get a funky smell from my air system sometimes and can't figure why. Thought it might be the air filters needing replacement.

 

Since the summer is here, I'm going to Lysol the hell out of my AC unit. I've been reading on it and you can spray Lysol right below your back hood and in front of your windshield. Lysol should prevent bacteria from coming back. If it's a 3 months fix, it's worth it. BTW, there's no cabin filter for the Z, so you can't replace it.

 

Can you describe the smell?

 

when i drive fast in high speed some kind of burning smell comes for 1-2 minitues and goes, first i thought may be its because the way i shift gear fast,but it it not that,in high speed only smell comes,i have got ARP racing clutch.

 

hey i have that issue too, under WOT shifing then when i slow down i small funkey small for like 1-2 min, small is def coming from the car. And I my manual shifting is not bad. I could say i am pretty good at it. also I did not shift like maniac, I mean i red-lined 1st 2nd 3rd and almost 4th and gentlelly

 

I shift WOT all the time and never get this smell. Ever.

 

Sounds like hot clutch or something. Get someone who knows how to drive a manual and have them teach you how to drive the car correctly.

 

I too think the smell may becoming from OP's pants. Does the smell seem to go away quickly when you roll the windows down??

 

i have been driving manual gear for more than 10 years,my previous car was camaro ss & evo,i dnt think so my gear shifting has any problem,so i am sure it z not bcoz my gear shifting.
