SINISTER

You can fit three...the third has to be an animal like a dog or cat however.

Ok there Yakuza assassin wannabe. Before you purchased your Z, didn't you notice the more practical vehicles for your 'profession' such as the minivans and pick up trucks?

Has anyone had to replace the Csc and Master Cylinder? My clutch pedal just sank to the floor today during some spirited runs on the back roads and I am beyond upset. I just bought it and I have juuuust hit 60240 so warranty is no more. I will not be taking it to the stealership, I will just fix it myself. But I am looking to upgrade the parts if possible. Any suggestions?

there's tons of threads about this.

long story short, OEM master and slave cylinder sucks, some people will blow their slave couple thousands miles off the lot, some last a bit longer.

slave cylinder is more expensive to fix because it's located in the bell housing.
so most swap out the clutch and flywheel while the transmission is out (to an aftermarket one)

for the slave cylinder you have two options other than back to OEM.

HD CSC, I believe Zspeed performance sells them.
uses better material, and SS clutch line (get with insulated wrap)
This will prevent the line from getting to hot in the transmission.
heat is what usually causes the slave to blow a seal.

OR

CSC elimination kit. a few different companies make them for the car, read reviews on them, I went the HD route so idk which ones are reliable.

the elimination kit will eliminate usage of the CSC in the bell housing, only thing is, over time you will need to adjust the length as your flywheel get's thinner? (not completely sure) *It's a bit more expensive but more reliable imo


as for your master cylinder
RJM makes a HD CMC upgraded version. buy that and you'll be set.

he also came out with a clutch pedal kit which helps pedal feel and reduces pedal travel, stock has a long travel which also helps aid in seals to blow.

PS, usually you'll want to swap out the CMC and CSC at the same time. if one blows, it will contaminate the line and cause premature failure in the other part. and when you replace that at a later time, it will cause the same thing vice versa

I took 4 trips (20 mi round trip) to the tire shop to drop off my wheels and tires. Only one wheel or tire fits in the rear (gutted) and one sits on the passenger. It was a fun drive!
Only two trips after everything was put on though. lol

I'm currently thinking of getting a new Z (2019) and was wondering if the issues with the Master/Slave cylinders is still present. Or has Nissan just given up on fixing it? Thanks for any input!
