Clutch started slipping so, Im gonna run z1's clutch/flywheel combo for mild street. Pretty much stock car.

Heres what I'm gonna do while i got the trans any rec's would be very helpful this will be my first clutch.

clutch/flywheel from z1
pivot ball
clutch release fork assembly
pilot bushing
rear main seal

my main question is should I go ahead and do oil pan?? it is leaking a little from the front and probably the rear so much oil back there cant tell if its rear main, oil pan, or both...
and what else should i replace?

I have downpipes already so probably not those.

Thanks

Oil pans on VGs usually if they're leaking in the front they're DEFINATELY leaking in the rear. I wouldn't rule out rear main if there's oil back there. I replaced my pan under the same conditions and a week later i had oil on the rear again but my pan lip seal in the rear was in 2 pieces so it's not like it wasn't leaking. Personally I'm leaning towards a JWT clutch if I can get one.

Idk what I'm gonna do yet, I got a guy with 03 350z thats interested in possibly trading all i have to do is buy a clutch and get approved which i will.

I just don't have the patience or money to chase down issues anymore I hope we can trade because I think he would be able to work on the car more and fix the issues faster then me. I hate to see great cars go but It's pretty much my only option :cry:

Since day one I take 2 steps forward and 20 back. I'm just tired of dishing out 500 a month on it and continually having issues.
