Recommendations for new clutch

Quicksilvers

Even at 83K you may have life left on your clutch and flywheel depending on what you use your Z for and how you drive? When you take everything apart visually inspect your clutch. In stock or near stock form any stage 1 clutch will work out fine Joe can help you out on this if you are set on replacing your clutch and flywheel. I would install the Z Speed CMAK before it’s too late and you get stranded in the middle no where like I did. It’s highly recommended to replace your master cylinder at the same time. A lot of Z enthusiasts have an issue with the stock clutch petal height and where it will caught. A good upgrade for you would be the RJM clutch petal you will enjoy driving your Z more and it can add to the longevity of your clutch/flywheel. When the mod bug hits it hits hard…..

So getting these parts to Australia from US looks like being an expensive exercise.

Before I make the giant plunge and get the credit card out, I wondered what you guys thought about this:

1) If I order a new Nissan CSC and just fit that would it be completely crazy or is there any chance I might get some mileage out of it before it fail again?

2) To replace the CSC is it a job that can be done without a car hoist? Or is the CSC internal and need the transmission removed to get at the clutch?

I would never recommend even to my worst enemy to put the original Nissan CSC, they are bad and known to fail.

I suggest go with another brand or put a CSC delete (external cylinder).
And yes, to do this job you need to remove the transmission. You can do it in jack stands (6ton or 12 ton because they are wider, more stable and go higher than regular 2ton)

You may like to watch this videos from TheCarizon, he explains perfectly how to do this job:
