Default Clutch?

hey all, was doing donuts just down the street today after finishing up with some racing and i feel as though my clutch is slipping. did a few huge donuts and then i transfer around and try to do them the other way (to the right) and rev up and dump the clutch and it started to go but was going more or less around in circles and not kicking out, pretty much massive understeer and i think my clutch is partially slipping. just under 8k miles on the car so if thats the case ill just take it to the stealer ship and have them replace it so no worries. this happen to anyone else. im not an pro drifter but i can definatly kick my car sideways and stay undercontrol. thanks in advance!

The clutch won't be replaced under warranty if 1) abused, 2) normal wear and tear; it will be replaced if defective. Chances are they're going to say that it's been abused.

Drive around about 500 miles (of easy driving) before heading to the dealer...this will take the glaze off the disc. Maybe then Nissan will fix it. I would just drive on her til she goes bad and then get an ACT clutch. I hate the OEM clutch.

yeah...besides that....OEM flywheel is what...30 pounds? ACT & Fidanza make some 12.8-13 pound flywheels...& there are much better clutches out there for less than you'll get charged at the stealership lolz
