I also post a thread in the 350z Tech. Did anyone have the same problem in canada? And how did u fix it? Thanks

When I am on 4th, 5th, 6th gear under full throttle, the car will hesitate. The RPM drop and then it raise up. Sounds like something is slipping. Can anyone help what happen to my Z. The recent mod I had on my HR is AEM dual intake, HFC, Y-pipe and fijitusubo exhaust and 3.9 final gear.

What I am thinking is something stickly or dirt inside the throttle body. Should I need to take out the intake and clean it up? Or do you think is the clutch slipping........appreciate your help.......

THANKS.....

 

looks like the same problem i had about a month ago, mine turned out to be a slipping clutch.
if you can smell burning after making it do that a few times, id say for sure its the clutch.

 

but the 1st and 2nd gear can grip! I do smell a bit now in the car while i drive. you think is clutch is done?

 

my first and second were always strong. even third wasnt too bad. 4, 5, 6 ... were the ones that started slipping. to me it sounds like the clutch.
how many KMs on the car? mine went around 110,000 km

 

O really.......I thought if the clutch is slipping, it won't even grip on the 1st and 2nd........Mine went to almost 80K. so your situation was kind of same as mine in the vedio clip? so after you change the clutch.......everything back to normal?

 

Its your clutch. Same thing happened to my 350z.

 

ya as soon as i changed it problem was gone... i changed the flywheel as wheel, went to a light weight one.

 

where are you guys installing the clutch and what brand is good?

 

mine is already installed, did it at my buddies shop. i went with Jim Wolf Technology clutch & flywheel. its good strong grip, only down side is, it is a little noisy

 

Thats what I am thinking to install. JWT...........but mine is HR. ppl said install the CSC also.

 

Where did you get the JWT?

 

i ordered it from importpartspro.com, they had a sale on at the time, where they threw in SS clutch line, chromoly clutch pivot ball & nismo roller bearing pilot bushing... check em out might still have the same deal going on. i think it was like $950 shipped to my door... or something close to that.

 

ok.......thanks! What year is your Z?

 

I JUST ordered mine today from concept z i believe its called... Search jwt clutch with mike as op. I paid 940 shipped USPS express so should be here in a couple days hopefully. A guy i know owns a shop in kitchener, i was quoted $400 for labour. Its a father son shop and the son worked on high horsepower supras, always done a good job for me on my cars. its called TH Customs.

 

Make sure whatever you do go with usps instead of courier to avoid the retarded handling fees.

 

Mine is an '04

 

If you want JWT clutch and fly call Dustin at injected performance, tell him Matthew with the 350z sent you. He will hook u up. Cheapest vendor you will ever find

 

Thanks....does it come with the Alignment Tool, Stainless Steel Braided Clutch Line, Nismo Pilot Bushing like Mike who sell its in CZP?

 

Thanks.....$940 with usps express......ok! I thought it only cost $760 for the combo. The shipping cost $180? And also I need to get the OEM csc too, because mine is HR motor.

 

Not sure about having to get a new csc, mine is an HR too... dealership is doing mine and made no mention of it. It was $890 for usps originally but buddy said it could take 2-3 weeks which i didn't want to chance so i had it expressed for an extra $50. Importpartspro may actually have a better deal, i never saw their thread before i ordered. Does the CSC need to be changed out as well?
