Just ordered the following for my Z:
Z1 CSC Elimination Kit OEM CMC Z1 SS Brake Lines 2L Motul RBF600 Time to go buy a transmission jack :tup: |
FWIW, I had a very interesting conversation with one of Round Rock Nissan's service managers yesterday. I was impressed with how honest she was with me about the matter. Obviously, the CSC falls into a grey area with regard to powertrain warranty. Being out of the 36K mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, they treat the warranty service for this part as "good will" coverage. Essentially, the dealer will forward all your information to Nissan, and Nissan will determine whether you deserve coverage. They look at things like maintenance and service records as well as your personal history with the dealership (i.e. how much money do you spend there?). Doing all my own maintenance with only one warranty claim, she said I have a 50/50 shot of Nissan approving the warranty. I wouldn't be surprised if she was just being nice. If I had all my service and maintenance done at that dealer, I would likely be a shoe-in for warranty coverage.
Rather than go through any more trouble than I've already gone through trying to get this covered under warranty AND wind up getting stuck with another OEM CSC (she confirmed they would not be able to install an aftermarket part under warranty coverage), I'd rather just get to know the car a little better and install something less likely to fail down the road. She acknowledged that for me, this is probably the best solution. Round Rock Nissan continues to be the only local dealer that I will let touch the Z. Despite not always being able to provide me with what I need, they are honest and have never employed the typical shady tactics associated with dealers. |
I would do it myself for two reasons: Get to know the engine/car better, and knowing that doing it myself would be doing it right. Stealerships are under such pressure to rush everything to make a profit that they don't have time to take their time.

:icon17: AND... if you're really bad4ss you'll replace the OEM flywheel bolts and pressure plate bolts w/ARPs. The 5.sl0w c0yote flywheel bolts w/ARP chamfered washers and RB26 PP bolts. :icon18: :icon17: Not for sure why the majority on here treat a clutch fluid change like its rocket science....just follow the OEM service manual instructions. I had it dun w/a helper in under 25'. |

:tiphat: on the clutch restrictor... I found one at my local AutoZone :tup: For whatever reason, the first time my wife helped me with the clutch fluid, it took us nearly 1L of fluid and 20+ min just to bleed. Second time it was done in a few min (<30 min for the whole job jack stands and all). I don't know what the deal was. Same procedure both times ... just following the FSM. |

Was the 2nd time bleed with the restrictor removed? |

I postponed the work cause my buddy had some other obligations. Hopefully we'll get to it soon. |
Loox like ARP released the SR20DET flywheel bolts on 2 AUG 13. These will be a better fit than the 5.0 C0y0te flywheel bolts that I had to use.
