You can add me to that list. Had mine go out in my 2010 Sport @ approx. 29K

Dealer put in the GTR fluid and that has held up for the last 6K or so.

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.

And not everyone who owns a Z joined a forum either. I'm sure there are many more out there got screwed by the stealership and no where to turn for support.

That's true... Maybe should start a petition and try and get it to pass around on other forums and sites like autoblog or jalopnik... The G37's and newer 350Z's (i'm assuming G35's too) had/have this issue and in 2008 they actually did a recall for the 350Z to replace the clutch slave cylinder

Recall on slave cylinder - MY350Z.COM Forums

very nice work BamBamz

Any of you guys thought about going to your local news affiliate? I mean this is pretty serious, and here you have Nissan tap dancing, I say the hell with calling 1800 Nissan, let the news MAKE them do something about it.. Like chevrolet, and the air bag recall.

I was just over 2000 actually, BamBam.

Wonder how long before we have a 2016 up there.

Anyone on the 370z fb group? Please make a post and share the link to this thread to spread the word. The more attention we can get the better.

Yeah I already went down the corporate route when it happened. I did get the car back a day earlier than they originally told me but still lost Memorial Day weekend to a bottom feeder Kia Rio rental, but that was it. :\

Man, if you brought that list alone to the news, I garauntee they'd jump on that, a little bit of research on their part, they could find out if anyone was hurt/injured or died in direct cause of this defect.

Nissan would hate you for contacting the news, but you'd be doing a pretty noble thing for a sh1t ton of people.

Nissa can kiss my azz

looking at the bigger picture, i can assure you, if someone went to the news, the bad press alone will MAKE nissan act, bad press = lost sales (usually)

The trick is getting the press to take it up.

Highly recommend the Motul:tup:

When the dealer covered my CSC replacement (you can add me to the list 2010 G37 Coupe - 1200 miles on odometer) I brought them off the shelf synthetic dot 4 and had no issues with my replacement OEM CSC. It worked perfectly until 43k when I upgraded it for the turbo swap to one of Joe's HD CSC. Went Motul at that time, good stuff :tup:
