Yea!! I get to join the elite slave cylinder failing group. I'm sure you are all jealous of my eliteness.....

I'm going with Zspeed HD CSC with an OEM master replacement while in there. Now I have to decide whether I want to upgrade the clutch or not.....

If I do an upgrade, I'm looking at this ZSpeed Performance Nissan Infinti OEM & Performance Parts

I still have plans to FI in the future. These cars are rare to see when I travel, so I'm thinking about just giving it more umpff, paint some areas, and keep it.

For what it's worth, I love my Southbend

Are you doing the install? Let me know when (not if) you or your installer run into bleeding issues with the CMC. I'll walk you through it.

Thanks. It went into a local transmission shop this morning. I can't wait to see how the new clutch and light weight flywheel feel. Labor is $510 btw. Now I'll be for ready for twin turbos as soon as I've saved the money for that. I'm looking at approximately 20K for that build......

Tell them to follow the CMC bleed instructions that Joe provided by the letter. Pull the pin on the clutch pedal so that it doesn't touch the push rod on the CMC at all. It's really particular..

Well all I can say is WOW! The lite weight flywheel is awesome. This thing rev's so easily now. With the heavier clutch and the new flywheel, I'm having to relearn how to drive the car.

Normally this flywheel would increase the transmission chatter but with the silence option you can barely hear any chatter and that is only because I was trying to listen for it directly next to a brick building. It has maybe 1/16th of the chatter noise now.

Good deal! Keep an eye on the clutch fluid reservoir. It may fill up with clutch dust during the break in. If it starts to show black floating things or turns black, suck it out with a syringe and then refill the reservoir. Pump it a couple dozen times and then repeat. I lost pressure on mine a few times after replacement because of this. Just check it every time you get gas for the first 3-4k miles.
