Mine does something similar. Full pedal feel in the morning, afternoon trip only a few inches of pedal. By the time I get back home, I'm back up to full pedal feel. I suspect its the master cylinder

I'm going to have to try and get the dealer to warranty it too.

so you should be over 500whp....

but srsly... get the clutch issue checked... I don't wanna hear about you on the news... for the wrong reason...

There isn't a southbend CSC, only Zspeed makes them. The only other type of CSC are the ones made for OS Giken clutches.

Are you sure about that? I contacted them myself about the all metal CSC and they said that they make one for our application. It isn't on their website though. I am sure that there are others, but I stopped looking once I found Southbend and Zspeed.

Zerolift has been working with Competition Clutch to get an alternative to the OS Giken Twin Plate that should be released soon (or may be available now), but I will know for sure once I get my invoice and track down the parts listed. Thanks for the input though.........

With all the reports of a bad master cylinder, that's what I'm suspecting. But I drove it to a bar Saturday night and to get yogurt last night and the pedal pressure is back to normal. I dont want to take it to Nissan just for them to have the opportunity to boost my car and say "we can't replicate the problem ".

The same dealer I bought my car from test drove my boosted G35 without my permission while I was signing papers and cracked my Top Secret front bumper.

Ouch. I totally understand.

So did you have to go with a custom intercooler design out of necessity or could u find that design and it just wasnt cost effective to do it?

98intrigue · 08-29-2011, 05:05 PM

Well, unfortunately I can't make it to Z Nationals

Because

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking...

The first intake piping was horrible from the getgo...but Lutz assured me it would work. The way the intake piping is done now is the way it should hav e been done from the getgo.

sorry for not being more precise, i was referring to the intercooler itself, i was curious if there were any other intercoolers you guys found that were the same design (the single bottom outlet and dual top exits) out on the market. I wasnt sure that if they were out you guys just didnt wanna spend the money on a new one seeing he had it laying around or if it woulda just been cheaper outright if there was one available on the market, i wasnt able to find any when i breezed through awhile back looking for a design just like that myself
