You'd want the stealership to do the install?

The majority of dealership mechanics are lets just say not somebody I would want working on my car, There are some good ones out there for sure but for the most part if its not "OEM" they don't want to deal with it because the have no knowledge of anything besides what they learned in "Nissan training"

There are good shops around most areas familiar with the Z cars, Find one here or on local car forums.
Most shops charge 4-5 hours for the slave and another 1 hour for the master cylinder.

Some recommended shops we deal with and are familiar with Nissan/Infiniti
Not totally familiar with all of these shops but most are ones we deal with regularly so do your homework
* Highly Recommended by our customers, Meaning we have had positive feedback from our customers buying parts from us and having them installed at these shops. If they are not marked just means we have not received any feedback from customers going there.

Some shops just quote Service Manual for Labor Hours even though they finish sooner. And then there are those that hide Labor cost in inflated parts cost. Bottom line , a honest shop would be much more successful. And I'm sure all us on this forum would have no problem dealing with such a shop if we knew we were given a fair deal & straight answers to our questions. I really wish I resided nearer to ZSpeed. But for now I am greatful for the advice & help I have received from Joe Allison & staff at ZSpeed. "KUDO's To ZSpeed!"

I placed my order today with ZSpeed for ACT Stage 2 High Performance Clutch Kit with the ACT Steel Flywheel (17.5 lb) & Motul dot 4 race brake fluid, & transmission front gasket. I previously ordered the HD CSC, CMC, Motul Trans Fluid, Short Insulated Clutch line from ZSpeed. All work will be done by AAM Competition in Maryland. Additionally the trans, & clutch hydraulics will be flushed and new fluids put in place. I will put pics, video's, sound clips, & updates, etc of same on this thread. I will list Pro's & Con's fairly. My preference is performance based, which may not be the needs of someone that just is daily commuter.
