Those passed the Tow truck too. Even on a tow truck the Z "looks good....". It looked good both times the CSC had to be replaced. Wised up this time though, went with a HD CSC from ZSpeed instead of replacing it again with piece of sh*t Nissan OEM CSC

Dude, your CSC failed twice? So you had it fail, you replaced it, then failed again, you replaced it, then the 3rd time you got the one from Zspeed? Am I understanding this correctly?

Any time

Recommended install method. Take a pair of scissors. Open them up completely and place one blade inside the wrap on the threaded seem. Holding the wrap firmly pull the scissors away from you so it slices the thread and opens the wrap up. Then you can wrap everything around the line and just secure it with zip ties every few inches.

Oh I forgot to mention, I prepaid for the labor at AAM, I could have had the Z done by this Thursday or Friday, but Im waiting on my fluids in the mail.. So next Friday, we should be rocking and rolling.

That doesn't seem to fit. It doesn't seem to matter how hard you drive it but pretty random. I was very mild with mine and only just out of warranty when it happened. I've been a little harder on it since break-in period ended, but really rather mild compared to how often I would redline my old Honda (since I don't want a reckless driving ticket :D ).

So i guess im going to be part of the problem, ive had my z for about 8 months, 30,000 miles and 5 autocross events, when the car gets hot, even on the interstate for 20 minutes when i go to push the clutch in it is very weak both in and out. Im going to take it to the dealer thursday just to have the record on file and then go about wrapping my line and changing the fluids. i made the claim about the csc failure online a week or so ago, anybody know of any resolution with these claims?

They're gonna tell you to take it to the dealer and have it "serviced" which means bend over and cough... for $2000:mad:

Finally got a purchase survey and made sure to note this issue there, as well.
