With your little attitude, you deserve to get stranded on the road side. I'll be here when that happens. And that's not even a question if it would happen but when

Here's what I think of your advice.

Problem is. The ecu starts to pull timing at around 230F.

Oil does NOT have to get to 212F for the moisture in oil for it to boil off. It will start to evaporate at 110F. If you maintain 110F, it will never get moisture. I used to work with equipment that had 7,000 gal oil systems. Engineered the bugs out of the systems.

Mustangs, and Vette C7 Z06's have a high oil temp problems too. Chevy quite selling the Z06 until they can figure a fix.

I agree with you. There are a few idiots on here. But no one is angry at you. If you took the time to research on the problem that you posted. You would have seen others had the same problem and their fixes. 95% of them did not go back and use oem parts because of repeated issues with the oem parts. You was given good advice and wasted it. Members who had the problem or have fixed the problem gave you the advice. So now it's costing you even more.

OP. I had mine fail at 12k and was covered under factory warranty. It was a sudden failure while driving 70 on the fwy. Imagine how that felt. The replacement failed again under 60k. It was a slow progressive csc failure this time and no longer covered under warranty at that point. Two failures within 60k. I ended up with an aftermarket set after that. You have coverage for 3 years/ 50k so you will be fine but will certainly experience another failure covered or not. The point many of us made was to go aftermarket with better performance while you had a chance. At $1690, you would have gotten a better product elsewhere. The silver lining is you'll get back on the road in your Z and it was half the price they quoted you.

Watch for steering lock, your differential bushing, and never make a sharp right turn with your tank low on gas.

You are the noise here, moron. He obviously doesn't have a warranty if he is paying $1700 out of pocket. Your so-called advice is absolutely terrible

Actually, the CMAK kit does not need adjustment


The OP seems like a sailed ship, I think we are wasting our time considering he doesn't listen at all. Lets just wait until the new csc fails and he comes back with the same problem again for the lulz

How much you wanna bet...

Dealer says clutch is fine so we did not change it.
CSC is fine so we won't cover anything under warranty.
Since CSC wasn't bad we put it all back together for you.
Please give us $1500 for the wonderful work we did for you.

Dealers suck!
Good mechanic is hard to find so I feel for you bro!

I'm at 65k, no CSC issue yet but when it comes I will do upgrades.
CSC elimination (probably the Z-Speed one)
Light flywheel (always wanted one of these)
Performance Clutch
Throwout Bearing
Pilot Bearing (needle bearing type not BS bushing type)
Motul RBF600 Fluid (obviously)

List provided so you can compare to the dealer's quote

People sound angry because CSC failures are so common and expensive to fix making this is a real emotional topic.

The CSC is noted specifically in the FSM to need replacement EVERY time the transmission is dropped. So if any dealer is giving you this horseshit, you need to call Nissan Corporate asap. Better yet, have a real shop do the work right the first time with an aftermarket solution.

This would definitely be another DIY for me. I may just go apesh!^ and use it as an excuse to do FI when it happens.

Please remove my account, I am done here..
I cannot believe the negativity and rude crap I have dealt with here... It has been sad... I will never understand attacking someone for the decisions they make... offer an opinion yes thats fine but don't attack someone for misspelling words, picking the wrong repairs (in your minds) and not following your recommendations...
More often than not I have left this forum feeling about 1 inch tall...
Hope you are all happy! And to the few who were nice to me, I am sorry :-(
I have deleted Tapatalk and removed my saved password for this forum... have a nice life everyone!
PS
the car is fixed with a warranty now... (I know, a shitty little warranty) but none the less it works for me... I will NEVER sign in again... good luck!
Oh! Don't bother replying I won't ever see it :-)

Wow. This thread got ugly. Not really proud at the moment with the outcome of this.

It is great to have a place to come together and share ideas, learn from those that have been there, and grow as a community, but I would think by now in the course of human evolution that people would understand that not everyone has to take your advice.

It is not the end of the world when someone does not follow your advice, it is their path to walk and their judgement they have to live with. That person not following your advice doesn't hurt you at all, so what do you gain from demeaning them?

Anyway, I'll probably get a backlash from posting this, but I, like others, tried to steer the OP down the path of aftermarket options. He didn't take my advice either..... so what? Who cares? He has a warranty and he feels as if he made the best decision weighing the advice he got from this forum with his own personal experience.

I agree. Admin should seriously consider banning or at a minimum suspending their accounts, so much for a supportive Z community huh?
