It's a matter of once you open the system, if the master is weak, it will not work correctly.
Our slave puts no more load on the master (actually a tiny bit less load/pressure) than the stock slave does, The clutch itself is what's going to increase the load on both parts.
The master cylinder is a $100 part, Why would anyone spend $1500+ on a clutch, Slave, Flywheel and not replace the cheapest part in the system?

Because it is in a different location and adds a lot of extra labor charges if you aren't doing it yourself...? Paying for labor to use a crap part again is a hard pill to swallow.
The limited knowledge I have of the CSC is that when it fails, it leaks all the fluid into the bell housing contaminating the clutch disk? My pedal began sticking halfway when releasing it so I checked the fluid level and it was empty. Filled it with more fluid and it works for now again, and the leak seems slowish? Has to be failed CSC though with fluid loss and its not leaking around the master. Should I be assuming I will have to replace the clutch when I replace the CSC?
My G35 6mt was just as bad with all the stupid little things that were poorly designed and failed. I should have known better than to trust that the new Z would be better. Effing Nissan.
