Z1 Motorsports: Clutch Concentric Slave Cylinder Elimination Kit

Redsmoke89 · 04-17-2014, 08:39 PM

Just got my Z1 CSC elimination kit installed, will put up a review in a few weeks after my first auto X day and break in period, so far it is an awesome increase in quality!

Question...what are the pros/cons as compared to the after market CSC's offered? In other words why get this elimination kit as opposed to the aftermarket CSC's?

I really like the idea just like being informed.

Also, do you recommend staying stock clutch with aftermarket flywheel?

The good thing about this kit is you can use it with either one of those set ups with the main advantage being no more pulling a transmission when a CSC fails on you. It also gives you a firm pedal feel.

Thanks for the input! Pedal feel alone justifies the cost for me.

This will mark the 3rd time the slave/master cylinder will need to be replaced on my car. 2 of which were under warranty. This last time I am out of factory warranty and I am left with my extended warranty but they are telling me it is not covered. Either way I think I am going to forgo the drama and just buy this. Have to save some pennies for the whole setup though. I plan to change the clutch, flywheel, CSC, and Master cylinder.

Last 3 question(s):
- Do you recommend rebuilding the master cylinder or replacing? I saw a rebuild kit for $18 which is better then paying $110 for a new one.
- Do you guys sell stock clutches? I plan to race the car NA but keep it a daily driver.
- Any suggestion for an upgraded clutch? I may consider an upgrade just trying to keep cost down.

Please report your experience to Nissan North America. The more reports, the better chance they might actually address the issue. It's stupid that this isn't a recall already.

Just wanted to see if you saw these questions...

Rebuilding or replacing the master cylinder is never a bad idea on the Z34 as they are known to have problems. I will say that we have never had to replace the master on the Z1 shop car and it has 36K ABUSED and track tested miles.

I would suggest the Z1 clutch and flywheel combo over going with a stocker as the Z1 flywheel will allow for quicker revs.

John,

Thanks again for the help!

Can you quote the following to 33186
- CSC elimination kit
- Z1 clutch/flywheel combo (Does this include the clutch/flywheel install tool? If not please include)
- Steel braided clutch line (Is this included in the CSC kit? If not please include)
- Trany fluid and crush washers (redline)
- Diff fluid and crush washers (redline)

Am I missing anything?

Thanks!

Chris

P.S. Can you include wheel spacers? 20mm rear and 15mm front.
P.S.S What is the difference between the standard full face and lightweight solid hub full face aside from the obvious weight savings?

If I install the combo now, later on down the road could another clutch/flywheel combination be simply swapped in with no issue to the eliminator kit?
