Sticky: (Official) 370Z Clutch Pressure (CSC) Failures

Would the dealer install the the aftermarket part if you brought it to them?

Some dealers have, yes. They are in the minority. I doubt any of the ones in Austin will. But there might be different staff/ownership since I was last inquiring about things like that. You will need to call and ask.

If you're not having warranty stuff done, I recommend not using a Nissan dealer for the work. I've heard H&R is good for body stuff. I like Austin Z Clinic for mechanical stuff.

Highly unlikely if they are doing warranty work with they install a non OEM replacement. When the dealer replaced my CSC I had to jump thru hopes to get them to use the synthetic fluid I brought them over Nissan fluid.

This is in Cali. And this dealer might do it, the first time they had to do the csc they asked me if i had any clutch or anything I wanted to put in since they were gonna have the tranny down.

My dealer did this for me without any issues. They know the OEM part is crap. I bought the zSpeed unit. Even their techs commented about the quality of the part and wanted me to keep them informed about how I liked it. They said that when the test drove my car after the repair they were surprised at how well the clutch felt.

Nissan tech via my service adviser - "He has never felt the clutch on these cars feel so solid". I think that says it all. Cant hurt to ask them.
