kkong6 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 hi there all, been on the forum for a good while already, just never had anything interesting to post till now! so after selling my first grey 350z because i was keen for a black one, after about half a year of searching literally everyday, 1 popped up! here she is when i first got her: photo uploading adult photo hosting originally i had planned to strip it and turn it into a drift car/track car and to take it to the ring. Everyone around me was against this idea so i was at 2 minds about it, so for the time being i just did basic services, fluid changes, belts and just maintaining it. after a while i got bored with the way it was so i added a set of these in May 2015, HSD Dualtechs from Driftworks: screen shot on pc photo uploader loved the difference these made looks wise but most of all the handling, felt like a completely different car. this got me itching to change more bits but also trying to keep it as oem as possible :lol: ....if that makes sense. so i then got this carbon bonnet with are catches lol...spontaneously print screen windows xp whilst driving on the motorway i could see that it was flexing at high speeds so i took it off and back on with the original bonnet. after noticing the clutch bite and feel being rough suddenly 1 day, slowly it started to bug me so i then decided to go all out with a flywheel and clutch, clark motorsport had a deal i couldn't say no to. Xtreme 200mm twin plate clutch with a lightened flywheel, purchased 2months ago. image upload without registration so i took it into the workshop at work and asked the boys to take a look at it before the go ahead to take the gearbox out. the original Y-pipe and cats were pretty corroded and said when taking them off, they are most likely going to snap so he advised to get a new y pipe and cats (the mid pipe and backbox were already aftermarket by Toyosports, on the car already when i got it) :yuck: ...so after hunting around it was down to 2 choices, invidia gemini or the agency power.... after a few sleepless night lol i decided to go for this (2weeks ago) from tarmacsportz photo uploading so this is whats happened on the weekend that just passed, by 1 of the top techs in the workshop who i trusted with the work: click image upload upload pic img upload he mentioned there was plenty of meat on the original clutch, just that it had burn marks lol (heavy foot) inside the gearbox was literally black and filthy, he spent hours cleaning it which sort of irritated me because i quickly wanted the car back on the road, but after walking up to his bay i realised why he took so long.... uploading pictures it was damn spotless! post images imageupload how to capture screen free image uploading imgupload free picture upload posted image the job of fitting the clutch and fly and exhaust took him 5 days from friday -tuesday, and i understand why he's a senior tech lol, iv never used or seen any tech go through every nut and bolt like he does,, he is a perfectionist...no other word for it and it sure was worth the wait. literally just drove the car out of the workshop today after work, so its all still settling in and adjusting itself. time to look at other parts whilst the clutch is beading in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kkong6 Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 thanks guys, lol i get carried away and just buy everything. for now its staying the way it is over the christmas period, apart from the front brakes need changing soon so i may do front brakes and do the brake lines in the coming few weeks and front tyres also. forgot to upload photos of the car how it sits now and sounds so videos and photos to come soon. on a side note, for all that are considering this clutch...it is very aggressive, still beading in so i hope it does get a tad easier to drive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Where are you going to purchase your new brake lines from buddy assuming your running Brembos? Lovely workmanship by the way. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkong6 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 yeh I'm running standard brembos on the car, not entirely sure yet tbh, haven't really had time to search around but they seem to around 60ukp or so for the HEL lines. update: so after driving the car for 420miles (even though its not beaded in yet) i honestly can't see or feel as tho its going to be easier to drive, especially as i live and work in central london, I'm seriously considering and looking around for a less aggressive clutch thats easier to use as a daily. if theres any members on here that have the same clutch and flywheel from xtreme performance clutch, please share your experience and how it feels once beaded in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
