Z1 Motorsports

[240msh]

I'm getting ready to swap my zenki to kouki, I'm looking for a oem hood and I see z1 motorsports has them for like $350. Is z1 a legit site?

[s13silvia123]

from what i heard yes

[cbeuglas]

Yes they build z cars here in Georgia. They have been around for a long while. Look up the znationals. Z1 puts this car show on every year.

i got caliper shit from them before, didnt have a problem

[brndck]

I've visited their shop in Carrolton GA before, very clean facility, super friendly and helpful staff

I've also ordered stuff from them a number of times. Always quick shipping, well packaged, excellent black Friday deals. Their z33 diff cover I got for my y34 is super nice, and was crazy cheap (like $140 compared to the greddy which is like $450 for a almost identical product, but the z1 version actually has better features)

I would not hesitate to buy from them.

Z1 is all I buy from wtf lol

[240msh]

Thanks haha, none of my friends have heard of it for some reason

[Trap Star]

They've always done right by me. Ordered online from them and I've visited the shop a few times. Usually one of my go-to's when I'm ordering parts for my 240's or my Z.

[LoSt180]

Yes, I've ordered parts for my G35 from them. They manufacture and sell a lot of Z parts. Mainly popular with the Z33 & Z34 platform, but have a few s-chassis items.

Z1 motorsports is quite possibly one of the TOP Nissan parts and tuning shops in all of the US... period!

great people, great service, great products! in all the years ive dealt with them, i have never once been disappointed in any way at all! highly recommended!

because the vegas import scene as a whole is very... sequestered

[Hoffman5982]

Z1 is awesome. When I order stuff from them it gets here quicker than stuff from Enjuku does even though I live in the same state as Enjuku, and the shipping from z1 is like half the price. And when something goes wrong or if you get the wrong part, Z1 will take care of it. Still waiting on a replacement tstat from Enjuku over a year later now.

deleting this, stupid comment

You probably forgot to tighten a clamp or something.

On the subject of Z1, I got one of their 1 piece steel driveshafts last summer, awesome quality, shipped it right away, and they even tossed in a free poster of my choice with the order. Wish they had more in the way of s13 parts!

Shoutout to z1, smashed my driveshaft last week, called them up and they shipped me out one of their steel driveshafts same day and got it here in 2. Awesome shop to work with, highly recommend them and their product quality.

Z1 is great. I've purchased items from them on multiple occasions. Very friendly staff.

I have their clutch in my 350Z and it's slipping under stock power after like 150 miles on it, let's see how they handle the possible warranty exchange process. The car has not been driven hard and everything was cleaned prior to install.

150 miles isn't even broken in yet. either something was done improperly on install/break in, or somehow the friction material is defective. are you sure the clutch pedal is properly adjusted? if its not releasing entirely/partially holding pressure against the clutch cover, it'll burn up a clutch pretty quickly

def take a shitload of photos when you pull the clutch back out.

did you resurface the flywheel when installing the new clutch?

[RalliartRsX]

My guess; sprayed the pressure plate down with cleaning fluid prior to install

you mean you're NOT supposed to put clutch fluid on the clutch???

Do you clean it at all? I might wipe it down like a brake disc with some brake cleaner or something....

[brndck]

i'd use acetone if anything, evaporates cleanly

[RalliartRsX]

Acetone or brake cleaner and a quick whip. You do not want the cleaning agent to get absorbed by either the flywheel, pressure plate or disk

I took the car apart last night, the clutch disc they sent me is smaller than the friction surface on my flywheel by about 1/2" and the presssure plate is the same size as the flywheel so the disc is only contacting about half of it's contact face.

Yes I cleaned the flywheel and pressure plate with brake clean before installation, just as I have done on all my other clutch jobs in the past 10 years, no chemicals used on the clutch disc. No there was not extra grease everywhere, no theres no rear main seal oil leak. Yes the clutch pedal is adjusted properly, no there no issue with the slave cylinder. Yes it's still in the break in period, but it should hold stock power under normal acceleration.

i think the angle of that image is deceptive. directly from above would be better. in the other photos you can see the inside of the puc is overhanging a bit, which is odd.
