Since we all HR owners are having a problem with our CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) and no one offer us a solution for it except ATS with the ATS activation mechanism but then you have to buy there clutch witch is something like $2k+ for the twin cluth and they won't sell the activation mechanism with out the clutch and after looking in the Nissan 350Z 2003 Service and watching the video that ATS did for installing there activation mechanism I'm thinking about making my own activation mechanism and use parts from the old DE Z like:

1. Release bearing
2. Release bearing sleeve
3. Holder spring
4. Withdrawal lever
5. Retainer spring
6. Dust cover
7. operating cylinder.

And I might use the Front cover of the DE Transmission if it works instead of drilling my Front cover to attache the pivot spacer to it!!

What do you think guys?

C'mon guys I need your ideas and thoughts.

I will take the car tomorrow to my friend shop and see what we can do.

 

i dont really have any ideas but i am very interested to see what you come up with. that would be great if you got it to work well. that would most definatly make me feel much more comfortable riding with an after market clutch and flywheel in the car. please keep us posted. thanks

 

I just PMed this vendor (Z&G's Parts Dis) that are selling parts @ Wreckyard Pricing

 

you have an os giken quad and you're complaining about the 2k price of the ats? i don't follow... you could have just gotten the ats...

 

Subscribed for results. Maybe another shop/vendor can weigh in on this. Z1? They seem to have a ton of knowledge regarding clutch issues.

I agree...

 

but i'm deffinately looking foward to the results!

 

I am looking at Boosting my Z in the fall or winter of this year possibly.. As of now I am leaning towards the Os Giken twin disk clutch. Or should I go with the ats?

I have had no CSC issues with the car. "knock on wood" I hope to keep it that way!

 

I wouldnt trust the CSC at all with a new clutch with more power , even with the stock clutch.
but that is me .

Im saving for the Act with their activation and waiting to see if another solution come up somewhere but it will have to be done before the next summer !!!

 

In the same boat as you. ATS SEEMS like the best choice IMO.

 

I got the OS Giken quad for $2150 and the ATS twin that holds only 500whp is for $2400 and the triple $2700 big difference my friend

 

I just sat with my mechanic today and showed him how ATS did it and he told me he can do it, he will go to get the parts in the morning and start fabricating a bracket for the cylinder and a spacer for the pivot.

I will keep you posted.

P.S. I told him to start installing the TT kit

 

I thought about doing this a few months ago. I was going to try it if/when my csc failed with my jwt clutch and fly. Definitely in for results.

 

I just found out that the 03 and early 04 use a different pivot and fork i think longer ones!! I think its what ATS uses!! I dont know but I will find out soon.

 

it's ATS, not ACT

 

the 03-06 bellhousing will not work also. starters are in different positions. but i noticed that a while back when a post came up about a fix for this problem.

 

Thanks. lool

I just noticed that in the first post I wrote ATS then the second one ACT then ATC I think I'm too excited to see that

 

lol I saw that but figured I would let you figure it out. Any updates?

 

I will order the parts today and it would be 2-3 to get here, the good news is the price is going to be $100-200 for the parts from the dealer.

 

Theres a video on you tube on how to convert it,I cant beleive no one has invented a better CSC, Vettes use them, it just needs a redisgn.
