Been working on my 1975 280z this weekend. Did a fluid exchange on the brakes and clutch system. I also pulled my Nismo in for an oil change. Inspected the clutch fluid and found this. 23,000 miles and I have coffee in my clutch master cylinder reservoir. Take a look. Had to do a fluid exchange on this also. Ugg.

It did have some debris in the bottom of it. Used my master vac to vaccum out the old fluid. Cleaned with a paper towel and directed the paper towel in the cracks with a jewelers screw driver. Didn't need any of that crap going downstream.

Don't kidd yourself, the Jag had nothing to do with the "nice car" comments. Jag's are for fags.

Yup, I wouldn't say "no" to an F-Type.

Yesterday we drove the Z to the lake and went kayaking, people were confused to see a sports car by the boat ramp

Ok, so there are some exceptions to every rule. lol

I cruised with an F-type convertible on Saturday afternoon

Gorgeous vehicle

yah, my clutch fluid was a slightly discolored at 5yrs/15.5K miles on my Z.
i did the ranger method about a month ago, and it's as clean as my fresh
dot3/4 in the brake reservoir.

To go with this

Dodgy gas station tire gauges be damned!

Looks like 15K clutch fluid service will be the norm for me. Hope I caught it in time or a failure will surely insue.

I check mine when I check my oil. I even have the Stingray guy across the avenue doing the fluid swap every Sat before he goes to the track on Sunday. His Stingray after a few launches makes his fluid BLACK. Although his reservoir is black, we put it into a water bottle and it was opaque.

when i did the ranger method, which is 30 clutch in/out per cycle (x3 cycles), my clutch started to squeak during the 2nd cycle.

so you might want to do 15 in/out per cycle instead.

the squeaking went away after 5-10min though. i think the csc may have
heated up or something. not sure wat the squeaking was from.
