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

AG2016

Hello all,

First time to the club and first time z owner. Just bought new 370 2 weeks ago everything works great. Reading all these posts about the CSC failure is stressing the crap out me. Is this happening to ALL the newest Z or is it just a few? I asked my dealer and he said he has seen some in for replacement but no too bad. Now I'm freakin not enjoying my car because every time I step on the clutch I waiting for failure. WTF. is the zSpeed HD CSC A SURE fix? I figured I'd drive it until the stock one fails twice then bail and pay for the aftermarket HD or even the elimination kit...I love this car...but now I don't want to drive it..ugggghhh

Enjoy your car, i got hit by the servo steering lock problem then the csc. It sucks but wouldnt lose sleep over what may or may not happen in the future. As far as Z1 goes, id say it seems like the right fix. When I called local Nissan getting an estimate he told me, its 170 for the stock part, but its the same part that broke before and would break again. What he would do if it was his car is buy the z1 and have nissan install it...
When your service managers are advertising for z1 and not there own part, that speaks volumes. I told him thanks for his honesty, again (he gave me a low down on wife's pathfinder timing chain issue )

Edit, just say you said you would have it break 2x before upping to HD. If its under warranty replace it with z1 and have nissan eat the labor. You may be out 360 now but second time it fails and outta warranty its gonna be a grand
