If you aren't losing fluid from the Clutch Reservoir and you haven't bled the lines recently and left air in there, it's probably the Master Cylinder. I'd follow the "Ranger Protocol", look it up on Google. If that doesn't correct/help it then it's probably your master.

Well now I have no pressure in the system since I bled it. Before bleeding it I only had to add a tiny bit so I did lose some, probably due to a leaking csc.

Ye olde 2 bucket wash, dry and window/mirror/wheel cleaning. Sitting at 1k miles on break in, so will be finishing break in this week :happydance:!

NO rain in the forecast, so maybe I can go first week since ownership without driving a muddy car :driving:.

Will be researching after market exhausts this week, leaning towards fast intentions carbon fiber. Have to verify installation height compared to stock and where lowest point is (steep driveway, at least in z terms)...no other car ever had issues, but scraping the front dam in an out, so need exhaust that sits like stock.

38k miles on the car. Fluid was relatively clean looking. Did have a lot of metal in the drain pan though.

Polished up the NISMO muffler while I was under there.

Tried to bleed my clutch again And still no pressure in the pedal so I assume csc failed but how could I know it's not the master?

I installed the front camber arms and rear toe bolts.

You don't. And it probably is (if not both). CMC is certainly the cheaper and easier of the two to fix. Before you throw $800 at labor to remove the transmission, that is.

Yeah ill be doing it with a friend anyway so no big deal I'm replacing both and adding a stainless line.

Washed her up and changed out the in-cabin air filter to one that contains carbon. Helps keep the smell out.

I cringed when I saw they put the stupid slave cylinder inside the bell housing. Why the heck did they go to that crappy design. Slave cylinders always die. Now I have to drop the tranny to deal with it. Ugg....

Throttle body party at JAR's Friendly Neighborhood Garage this weekend. Full TB removal and cleaning for Ms. Pint and Mr. Athlon_omega. Ms. Pint might have some pics to add :tup:

I removed and cleaned my TBs, at the same time taking the opportunity to do the TB coolant hose bypass mod. I also detailed the engine bay including removing, cleaning, and dressing all trim/cowl pieces.

My OCD cleaned this one even more before reinstalling

I just did the work myself (with a buddy leading the way) a few weeks ago... in my amateur garage on jack stands, no less. But I installed the Z1 CSC Elimination Kit as a preventative measure. There is a heavy duty CSC available for ZSpeed as well. If you're gonna go through the trouble of dropping the transmission, definitely don't use OEM replacement CSC.

Gping the z speed route. ;)

And did you get a code after taking the TBs off and cleaning them?
