Two weeks ago I fitted my Zees EX exhaust. Today whilst accelerating flat out in fourth gear on a local dual carrigeway, my f@@@@@@ clutch began to slip .

 

This happened to somebody else here didn't it?

 

Anyway, what are your views/experiences with aftermarket clutch plates? Good or bad?

 

Can anyone reccomend a good friction plate? I don't need flywheel/pressure plate.

 

How do they compare to new a Nissan plate??

 

Many thanks in advance.

p.s. its nice to have the forum back!

Nissan stock plates are only good for the stock power.

I hear after Stage 3 your clutch will only last till the end of the week if you are licky.

I would go with a different make. I dont think buying them costs much but haveing them put on is expensive.

All I have is K&N filter & Zees EX exhaust. What stage is that??

 

Work not a problem, I would do it myself.

 

SRRAE can you reccomend a good plate??

Hi Rob, What is a Zees EX exhaust. Just wondered as I.m changing mine next month..

 

Jan...

Errrr, stages vairy from person to person.

I would say 2 at the moment.

I dont know much about clutches. I only look stuff up when I need it.

 

Have you looked at the links on this site. They quality stuff, they have to really cos their reputation relies on it.

Hello Jan. Have you got that K&N on yet????

 

A Zees EX exhaust is from Japan. www.zees.co.jp

 

It is made from mild 3" bore mild steel pipework that is mandrel bent. Stock is 2" pipe. Straight through silencers, oh and the small matter of two 5" diameter tail pipes

 

As a direct conversion from Yen>£ = £600.

 

Jeff TT & Topsquads are you listening?

I bought this from a breaker in Brum, Optimum Autos, Energas Industrial Estate. 300zxTT import smashed hard pass. side.

Cost? £95+vat. Sorted!!!

 

A few pics for you. Enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep It Large

We got similar taste in arses Dunk!

That's a big exhaust. Is that price including shipping or did you get it from a dealer here? I'll be needing a new one soon myself. Is it from the Cats back for that price?

 

Nice picks of the clocks. Id be worried though about the temp guage. Suggests your fuelling, and timming maps not correct in the ECU.

I thought that on closer inspection of Nicos sig. warm as toast under the bonnet at that speed then? Yep! LMFAO

 

Dunk, Glenski! Stop it with the pics will ya otherwise I'll be sneaking off to the thrap trap in a mo!!! ROFLMFAO

 

Dunk mate, no wonder your clutch started giving up on you with a set of pipework like that? What did you expect mate?

 

Unfortunately, the pictures of the clocks aren't mine

 

But as for the clutch, I guess the 'zorsts just pushed it over the edge!!

 

And no comments about 'you should have bought an auto' either LMAO !!!

 

Not to worry, I'll just drive like a granny (on ACID ) 'till I get a new clutch in it.

 

So Glen, does that make us a right pair of arses then??? The bigger the better is wot I say!!!!

 

One more pic I left off.

 

ChrisC I got this exhaust from a breaker in Brum. It was on a crashed Jap import. By chance I found the website, and the retail price for Japan.

 

I have never seen another Z with this pipe on before, so I assume they don't export to UK.

 

 

Don't you just love all the nutters that inhabit this forum???

 

See you all soon,
