If this doesn't show the level of denial Nissan is in, I don't know what will. Compare the fluid color and the statement on my work order under section E..... I have 14k and 2.5 years of driving it.

Not to mention the fluid level is rather low! You can clearly see what clean fluid should look like comparing the brake fluid bottle right next to it. Nissan...

I'd gladly kick in $500.00 to rent a booth to be displayed at Annual Z DAY that puts forth information of the horrible Nissan CSC issues as well as other "weak" power train problems that plague the Z.

And this is how it looked after I got them to finally flush it. Notice the black deposits at the bottom? I pointed that out to them as not normal, but they argued that it was. I got them to flush it a second time however after some pleading. Not sure where the deposit came from, as the removed CSC looked to be in pretty good shape and hadn't shown any deformation.

Mine was really dark and had small chunks of the black stuff at the bottom too. I used a syringe bulb to get the dirty stuff and fluid out, I should have taken some pictures but I was in a hurry.

Dammit!! This really blows! We got crappy OEM parts, we look for solutions on our own or from aftermarket solutions. Many of us have been stranded & had to be towed. Does the answer lay in aftermarket parts? I think not! We paid for a quality and got Yugo instead. I will take great pleasure in displaying my distain for Nissan OEM CSC at the next Z-day. I may make a spectacle of it by hanging banners, hiring big breasted female pole dancers, give out free cotton candy, beer on tap, etc, etc, to drawl in spectators to view my stand and hear the complaints about nissan OEM CSC. Hahaha!

Excellent idea! Also display pics of what's involved to replace CSC, replacement/aftermarket part invoices, labor invoices, Tow invoices, etc.

And gladly welcome makers of aftermarket solutions to the CSC issue to be equally represented in the booth I rent at Annual Z Day if they so choose to be. No cost to them. There ya go, you can't get deal than that! Put your money or your product to where your mouth is.!

That picture hurts my heart! I'm serious, I have experience in sales promotion, union organizing etc. Granted this is a stretch. But I want to rent a "booth" at Z DAY Events that proudly displays disdain for OEM CSC , & Nissans response to the issue surrounding their shotty CSC , displays facts, pics, costs (parts, aftermarket parts, labor, Tow etc), and also invite makers of aftermarket solutions to the OEM CSC problems to be display (at no cost to them) Namely suppliers of HD CSC's & Elimination Kits. There ya go! That's a sweet deal! Who has the balls to support it, or the courage to forward me a application for booth rental at next 2016 Z DAY?
