Has anyone had experiance with the Fidanza clutch? Or do you know anyone with a Fidanza? I am running a Fidanza 3.2 clutch, Nismo Flywheel, Nismo roller bearing, SS clutch line, & RJM AFR Pedal Bracket.
The clutch was installed 12,354 miles / 4 years ago. So averaging only 3k miles a year.

Yesterday we had a cruise in downtown Panama City. They have one first Friday of every month. I rarely drive my Z. It sits in a garage under a cover most of the time, it had only been out the garage twice in the month, and only 4 mile drive each time. So I get it out, Quick Detail it, go inside & shower. Come back out to leave an a quick rain shower had passed over. So I dried the Z. At this the shower was so brief the heat in the road had mostly dried it back off. So I leave my house.
I get a few streets away from my house & the main roads apear to be comepletely dry. I roll hard into (Not instantly WOT) 2nd.....pulls hard. Shift into 3rd and roll in hard again hooked fine, all of the sudden RPMs jump a couple grand. Felt chattery like light wheel hop. So I let out and roll in again. Same thing. So I go to 5th. I get a few miles down the road and catch a light. Green light, I take off moderately hard. 1st fine, 2nd fine, 3rd fine, 4th then seems to act up a tad But then grabs. Rest of drive it quits acting up. So I get to the show & tell one of my club members with a Z31. He recommends when we leave go 30 in 3rd lightly brake while WOT for a moment.
When we leave I try his recommendation in 3rd & in 4th. Both bog the motor clutch doesn't slip. Then later on I am just driving, I roll in the trottle hard again (i don't remember what gear) and it acts up again. But the rest of the drive no problem. When I get home we try a couple launches in my driveway. No slip, chirps tire and launches.
Any idea? My Nissan truck had a pressure plate going out and would chirp 2nd & 3rd cold put once you started driving a little the clutch wouldn't grab very hard. The Z's problem was oppisite. Didn't seem to grip but then got better. Could it be in the VLSD? The driveway launchs appeared to only be spinning the driverside tire.
UPDATE: My friend & I just drove it and it's definately the clutch. What the hell. It seems to be that the pressure plate isn't pressing hard enough.
What clutch would you recommend, Act, JWT, Z1, etc? Please don't throw out some $2,000 twin clutch. I hope in the next 2 years to V2 supercharge so need something to hold aprox 450 hp.
