FYI used does not always mean it was consumer owned. There is a dealer here that shops for "factory cars" These are cars used by Nissan or Nissan related people like factory exec. I got my 2013 with 1600mi for much less then new and it was the same as new except the od says 1600 miles.

Another thing I have been reading all over about the clutch failure also.
One of the things I saw was there was a recommendation to swap out the
dot 3 fluid for the GTR dot4?? fluid. For the heck of it I called service to ask they confirmed there is a service bulletin on this and this action is meant to be a prevention to the problem. I am not sure how much this problem exists between 2009 models to 2013 etc. I assume it can occur on 2013's also.

My local dealer Z service guy also said he has not had any Z's come in for this, only one did he have to change the slave csc and that was due to a leak. So the percentage of occurrences may not be as bad as it seems from what is seen in the forum. At least I hope that is the case..
