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

babyzilla

I got a case # with Nissan a couple days ago and they called me yesterday to let me know they are "investigating the issue." I was told they will let me know the outcome on Friday. I'm just hoping my Z isn't being joy ridden while it's sitting in the shop...hopefully the dash cam that is pointed at the driver's seat is a good deterrent. I'll keep you guys posted for information sake. I'll either get lucky or I'll be placing an order to Zspeed this weekend. I know you all have warned me, but I'm just shooting my shot.

Side note: I'm not sure if I'm being dramatic, but the outcome of this may or may not influence my loyalty as a returning customer to Nissan (especially if they were to revamp the Z).

I'm afraid you're wasting your time, and the point of my rant was to save you your time. Thousands have gone down the road you're on. My last attempt. Get your car outta there, meaning out of the hands of that Nissan dealership, and into your custody, and get rid of that concentric slave cylinder, and that stock pedal. There's no other way to put it. And I'm only saying this to you because I'm gathering from what you said, that you are willing and able to invest the funds required to right this problem. Respectfully. Did you read through this whole thread??

lol NNA isn't going to do jack for you. Same as that dash cam. What you're really hoping is that the idiot who wants to joy ride doesn't know how to unplug the camera in the back although it's likely they don't give two shìts anyway. What are you going to do? Sue the dealership for driving your car? You're just wasting your time

Yes, and I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I figured I wouldn't lose anything by at least giving it a shot as I have the time right now. There have been members in this thread that have been able to get it fixed under warranty. Anyways, I'm just getting worried now so I'm trying to pick my car up this evening based off what you are telling me. The auto shop will probably be closed, but I'm hoping I can get it via sales dept. I admittedly did not read the entire thread...it's 120 pages, but I did read many.

Thanks, I guess?

To all, I'm not the most technical person, but what exactly do I need aftermarket? The companies I keep hearing about are z1motorsports, zspeed, and RJM. I obviously do not want OEM parts, as that is what is causing the issue in the first place. I've also seen a CSC delete kit - I'm not sure what this is. Please help. Thanks! I'll try giving Joe a call as well.

This is the kit i am going with. I am not an expert on the 370Z platform
but I have researched this for myself and have only read good things.
This was also recommended to me by Rob at Z car Garage in San Jose CA.

Thanks, man. I have been looking at this too. Although Joe from Zspeed mentioned the stage 2 - he actually responded to my original post in this thread the other day. Their shop is closed, but I need to call them tomorrow to verify. My main question is why I would need a new clutch too.

Thanks!

Your best bet is to email Joe. He always got back to me within hours even on the weekends. I was really surprized. I expected to get a response on the next business day but he answered my questions on a Saturday night.
