Either way I'm replacing the clutch, flywheel, slave and master in August. This car has been rock solid to me even with me neglecting certain things, like the clutch fluid.

My 2015 failed once at under 5000 miles. My 2016 failed twice before 20k and the third time about 40k. Nissan covered the first two under warranty but not the third (did get a case with corporate but bupkis) so I did a Zspeed CMAK. I killed my clutch trying to limp home but still ended up getting towed so replaced that with an OS Giken. Nissan put GTR fluid after the 1st failure and again after 2nd. Mechanic said the master cylinder looked fine but had him replace that, too since Nissan did both times (they replaced the flywheel at least once (the second time) citing contamination but that was covered).
Ordered an RJM since not really happy with the engagement on the new clutch/slave combo.
I DD so don't really drive her too hard. Never launch with no traction or anything. No racing or autox. Will occasionally redline 1-3rd but nothing crazy. Always thought the stock clutch felt a bit weird compared to every other MT I've had, though.
