Here's a creative example what an individual did to send a message to United Airlines for breaking his guitar. 15 million hits! Any musicians/song writers out there? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo

Let's see how Nissan will weasel their way out of this one...


This is what my clutch fluid looked like yesterday...there are bits of black debris sitting at the bottom of the reservoir. You can see my fluid level is about half way between Max and Min. Not sure where that fluid went...



I used a syringe bulb to suck out all of the dirt and fluid from the reservoir and then filled it up with new dot 3 brake fluid I picked up earlier in the day. After doing so my clutch pressure returned, there is still some slack in the pedal however, but that was already there since I removed the clutch pedal spring. I know I'm on borrowed time right now. I'm taking it into my shop this Saturday to check out, but most likely a new clutch kit will be going in very soon.

My clutch fluid looks like that at every oil change just about. I remove the old fluid from the MC and do quick gravity bleed on the system every 5-10k miles. I am running Dot4 also. In the summer I have to do it more often due to the heat of the cats. Nissan didn't rap the little metal line down at the bottom. It has some kind of rubber protector on it but it does not cover it all and does nothing for the heat.

Has anyone noticed a positive difference when using Nissan GTR BRAKE fluid? Or is it the same as any DOT 4

As I went through this entire thread making my list, Several people had good results by switching the fluid but then there are still quite a few that still had CSC failure further down the road. It seems like it's just a band aid.

I'm having a ZSpeed HD CSC installed as well as new CMC, with insulated CLUTCH line ; I was thinking of using the GTR BRAKE Fluid from now on . Do you thats a good idea or should I use a different brand of fluid?

I don't recall anyone asking that question... But I believe Joe@Zspeed will help you out, He's chimed in on this thread several times.

Thank ya... Yeah it is, I thought there would be more. But there probably is that I didn't see or didn't chime in yet.

Won't hurt anything to use the GTR fluid, We have been using Motul RBF-600 with good results also.
