Looks like we both developed issues over the weekend. Im getting grinding noises that i can also feel though the seat under hard cornering now...
Good luck man, keep us posted.

Edit: not to hijack you thread at all but if anyone has any ideas about mine id appreciate any input you have. To describe it more fully: Like I said, its a grinding feeling that i can also hear, about 10 minutes of lapping and it will go away until the next session. It initially only happened under extremely loaded cornering when i got on the power but developed to the point i could feel it for several seconds dollowing the corner after i had straighted out. I felt it on the freeway yesterday when i accellerated and hit a bump/depression in the road. Sounds/feels like metal on metal grinding, not screeching tho. Doesnt occur when both drive wheels spin from acceleration in a straight line or though a turn. I smacked my left rear tire into a curb pretty good a little while back and had to replace some of the suspension pieces on that corner. Thinking its possible that these are related, the sound does seem to be coming from that area but its hard to tell.
Yea I didn't have that issue. I did have Motul in with the added Z1 SS line. But either way the line is still close to my test pipes. Even though it's has a heat wrap on it I wonder if it needs note protection. Maybe wrapping my test pipes.to me it seems that reguardless of the high temp fluid that if it gets so hot it could still ruin the CSC. For our CSC are not the greatest. Now I'm hearing the aftermarket ones have fell also.

So tha being said I wonder if both our CSC's are half way from going out? We have abused them from the track. I just got done talking to Z1 about this and I think I'm just going to drop the tranny replace the CSC, clutch, flywheel and see where that leaves me. Don't really care to go to the dealer it it's nothing major. If this doesn't solve it then it will be on Nissan. I should have a better clutch reguardless. Thinking of getting a six puck clutch. I could do all the work myself but I'd rather see Z1 do it once then I know I can handle from there on.
