aside from bleeding, what is the advantage of this over the HD CSC?

Ease and cost of maintenance, for sure. I also have the external slave mod.

Really bleeding is pretty simple on both so long as the master is new or in good condition.

Advantages to this are it is cheaper in the long run, Less to no maintenance, fluid stays clean, replacement/Maintenance parts are much cheaper. Basically if you have the clutch replaced in the future it is less than $25 for the CMAK Replacement release bearing VS the HD slave rebuild at $175

Overall CMAK will be more durable in the long run although the HD Slave has held up very well over the last 7-8 years we've had it out.

The guys at Jotech are putting in my Stage 2 kit as we speak. Can't wait to try it out.

Well, just heard that the guys were so impressed by how it drives that Jotech wants to start stocking the CMAK. *cough* *you're welcome* *cough*

That's Awesome! The ZSpeed Stage 2 Quite kit with the CMAK is pretty impressive (if I do say so myself) :tiphat:

What would you say the difference is between the flywheel options are 26lb nodular iron and the DxD 19lb billet steel. Noise, performance, durability. ..

With the quiet kit clutch idle noise will be pretty much non-existent, In the low RPM range, under 2500 rpm you can get a light rattle if you are on the gas which goes immediately away once you are over 2300-2500 rpm, This is slightly better with the 26lb but for the difference in performance I would stay with the lighter units, ZSP 17lb, 20lb Billet or SBC 19lb as they add a lot of performance gain.

This is one of those instances when reinventing the wheel results in an inferior product. The traditional fork/clutch release has been used for many decades on a multitude of vehicles. Perhaps the only possible benefits to the csc is it's cheaper to manufacture/fewer parts. Reliability is somewhere on the criteria list but nowhere near the top. While there are some that fail early on, most have issues after the 3yr/36Kmi warranty as run out.

The bean counters at nissan did the math and figured out they still come ahead.

I can vouch for this. I have the Stage 2 quiet clutch and 18.5 lb Z Speed lightweight flywheel, and I can't hear any chatter. None.

Just ordered!!!!!
 

I just called Joe@ZSpeed, and he clarified my doubts... Just finished placing the order for the ZSP Stage 1 Street Quiet Clutch + Flywheel + CMAK CSC DELETE... I chose the ZSP Forged Steel 17lbs Flywheel.

Final add-ons will be Fast Intentions Non-resonated CBE + Fast Intentions Resonated Test Pipes + K&N Typhoon and the ZSP Kit ordered.

As soon as it is install, I will do the reflash. Let see how it performs!!!!!

Thanks Joe and the ZSpeed Crew!!!!

Raf I'm going to get the same exact setup you described. Just to have an idea how much was the labor to instal the Stage 1 quite clutch + Flywheel + CMAK CSC Delete together.
