There is a leak somewhere because the reservoir was empty. Brake fluid doesn't just evaporate into thin air. I'd be contacting nissan consumer affairs.


Edit: Just reread the post (#609). Unless the car has an extended warranty, powertrain does not cover the slave cylinder. Friggin useless warranties!@#

Yeah I don't think the powertrain covers the slave cylinder.. I talked to them about that as well and they said even if they found an issue or leak they aren't sure if they can cover it. But they just did a "visual inspection" and said they couldn't find an issue. And this is 2 different dealerships..

How many miles do you have on new clutch & light weight flywheel? Any noise/chatter from flywheel? I've heard from ppl that single mass flywheels create alot of noise even at idle. One person described his car as sounding like it was a "gravel hauling dump truck". They did say there was a noticable inrease in torque though.

Proper fluid is key ! I found a shop in Baltimore area that's very knowledgeable with Z's. And to test their knowledge I actually downloaded Z Shop Manual on Clutch Maintenance & installation. I selected some questions from it to test them, hahaha. That may sound extreme, but I love my car & don't just let "any ole mechanic" work on it.

Im honestly leaning towards AAM doing the install, them boys do serious work, BUT at a premium price.

Is AAM cool with customers supplying the parts? Has Markus given you any estimate on work?

Just got my quote from AAM for install of CMC, HD CSC, Insulated Clutch line, Clutch kit, flywheel, pressure plate & trans fluid exchange to MOTUL 300. I'm very pleased with quote & highly recommend AAM COMPETITION to do the work. These guy's know their $hit when it comes to Nissans & do quality work. I received quote from Mark B. -

Maybe we could work out some kind of "group price" with Marcus since we're both MAZOC members? Can't hurt to ask them

It was Jason, that wrote me an estimate a couple months ago. And they are fine with installing other companies parts.

Can you tell me what your quote was? Can you ask him if we both had this work done, would they cut us a better deal?
