Well, I want to update everyone. I got my car back from the dealership Thursday. They had it for a week replacing the CSC. They also replaced the line and added GTR fluid. The clutch pedal isn't sticking to the floor and the engagement point seems a little higher. Only time will tell how long this fix will last.

Could be a thousand miles, could be a hundred thousand. Mine went out at 1200 miles on the odometer and the replacement was still going strong when I pulled it at 43k for the turbo install.

They didn't replace the master? If not, you'll be back to see them again.

Hey Joe, it was nice meeting you, thanks for showing me and my dog Nismo around the shop and showing me how all these great parts work together. Thanks so much man.

Zspeed is A+++

I had asked the service manager to change out the CSC, MC, and the line when I first dropped the car off. They did the fluid change out first; that didn't work. Then they replaced the CSC and line but not the MC. I'll have to see how long it last.

Now, I'm hearing some unusual noise mainly when transitioning from reverse to 1st. I'm hearing vibration as well. I'm not sure if it's coming from the transmission or my exhaust. I'm going to get underneath it and make a check. I just don't like others working on my car even trained Nissan techs. It seems they always miss something or mess something up.

Thanks brother, she's a great dog. She runs as fast as a Nismo.

A week after getting the entire clutch assembly replaced my Z feels great, but there's a handful of new sounds. I was giving it a week for the new parts to "settle in," and some of the sounds have lessened/gone away, but I'll go back to the shop and ask them about the remaining noises. Ugh.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
