CSC's... z1 and zspeed

batboyvaj · 05-27-2014, 03:30 PM

I see that z1 has their new CSC elimination kit out. The Zspeed is like the original design being internal and the z1 has an external slave. Is there any advantage of having the slave external to the transmission? Will it be more reliable? Better pedal feel? Worth the extra $100?

I believe the 350z was an external design and most of the parts the z1 kit uses are OEM Nissan parts minus 1-2 pieces.
Many have the Zspeed one and love it, I have read (though never known personally) people have failures with the zspeed one. The z1 is still new, but they did track test for a good bit to make sure it was ready.

what parts are not oem on the z1 kit? Is it possible to to piece all the pieces together myself for less?

Some of the brackets are z1 only products, you could probably piece some items but still be short the components that migrate the unit from inside to outside.

To me that's worth the extra $100 dollars up front to save on a repair bill later on if something goes out and you have to take it to a shop.

if you have issues with the fork or throwout bearing the transmission still has to be dropped, but if the slave blew for example you could swap it easily.

with the z1 kit you also need to change the front cover on the trans, which blows dong.

Have there been any confirmed failures of the zspeed csc? I've tried searching and couldn't find any.
