CSC?

I'll be in my bunk!

The manual 370Z has a problem with the CSC ( concentric slave cylinder )
these need to be replaced with an aftermarket unit to be reliable.

I would hope that Nissan addressed this problem in the new model, only time will tell.

The CSC is external now and I can't remember but I think they said it was made from a carbon composite material or something. Not exactly sure but it has definitely been addressed this much they confirmed.

I believe you maybe referring to a post by Z1Motorsports (below). Carbon composite would be the drive shaft.

Regarding original question, I typically don’t buy the 1st year a model comes out. However, I wouldn’t be too concerned about this Z, as almost all of it’s major parts have been proven. A good, long, hard driven test drive that really impresses, would be necessary for me to consider switching from my M2 though.

The CSC issue has been around since the 350Z days (starting with the HR model I believe) and got carried over to the Z34’s.

I thought the CSC was still internal. Can someone confirm the CSC is external from the factory?
