I'll wait for them to call me to see what my options are. That being said wouldn't I still end up voiding the warranty moving forward by replacing oem parts with aftermarket parts?

Thanks for the suggestion.

You don't void a warranty. You might have a claim on the clutch denied if you have an aftermarket setup, but the HD csc won't fail so it's not a problem. The only way to kill one of those cscs is by pairing it with a spec clutch.

You have warranty so take it to a dealer but that is up to you. You can install aftermarket parts but dealer selection is important. The only dealers I would go to is Nissan in Duarte (CSC warrant repair #1 and have GTR techs) and Fontana Nissan (where I bought my car and many parts, good techs). Universal City has been around for a while and have been very involved in the Z community. They've repaired their share of CSCs but I have not brought in my car over there.

If you are close by the Canoga Park area - take it to Specialty Z for out of warranty, aftermarket work, and tune. I have a good relationship with the guys over there and have received nothing but excellent service. You can also try Precision Z also in Canoga Park. PM me if you have questions.
