Honestly the only real fix for this is replacing the plastic factory CSC with an Aluminum one I personally prefer the SZ clutch flywheel and CSC unit because everything in the kit is rebuild-able and the drive-ability feels better than factory. i know there are cheaper options out there but having driven everything I believe SZ has the best fix in the market at the moment.

There are two options: in addition to the ZSpeed Heavy Duty CSC, there is a Z1 CSC Elimination Kit that uses an external slave cylinder in lieu of the internal concentric slave cylinder.

Would I want to start changing out warranted parts so soon in the vehicles life? What good is a warrantee if I just replace all of the weak points with aftermarket upgrades? I guess if the stealership wont flush this and keep it going full warrantee period than I have a choice between high maintenance(changing CMC fluid every 1kmi or upgrading). Don't want to get stranded that for sure.

I am fully aware of both of those kits, OS Giken is also currently developing a CSC delete kit too.

reason behind the Specialty Z getting my preference is because both the Flywheel is fully rebuild-able along with the clutch disk. so in the future when your clutch is done you don't have to make another 1200+ dollar expense replacing it. you can send your original units back to them for new friction plates, along with getting the pressure plate and disk for a refresh. The segmented design is also extremely useful for us who like to track or beat on our cars.

the CSC is made by Tilton which is a very reputable manufacture for racing CSC's for many super cars so it's made for abuse and can handle daily driving without any issues, keeps you from rigging any funny looking odd brackets and other stuff outside of the transmission and works well with all your other factory components. The RPS/SZ kit is just a clean solution that handles every flaw in the OEM system without any compromise. I'm in the middle of

I have really high hopes for the OS Giken CSC delete kit, I hope it is clean and functional like their Evo 9 and GTR push type conversion kit.

I guess I'll nurse the factory one until it is out of warrantee. Wont the 60k Gold extended warrantee cover it too?
Is DOT 4 475deg fluid a better choice than stock?

Any links to details on the SZ kit you speak of and/or the development of the OSG kit?

OS Giken is keeping everything under wraps until it's finished so i can't give you any information on that, the Specialty Z kit I've been selling for almost 2 years now.
