Talking Specialty Z Max Street Flywheel, Clutch, CSC

I just got this installed last Wed because of a failed OEM CSC. Decided to go with the hole package at once so I didn't have to go back in to upgrade something else. I also replaced the MC.

I didn't take a bunch of pics because between DJtodd's DIY and the Specialty Z web page you can see what it all looks like.

Pulling the Transmission: Pretty straight forward and mind DJ's words on the crank sensor, that was a big pain in the arse to get out and back in for that matter. The only other glitch was where my stock line to the stock CSC connects to the lower hard line, the nut was frozen even after PB blaster a little heat etc... ended up rounding off the nut so bad I didn't want to reuse it; so I ordered the lower clutch line piping for 12 bucks from the local Nissan dealer.

The new clutch has a little bit of a harder pedal feel to it but, not bad at all. If your waiting at a train crossing for 20 min, might want to put it in N

The most notable thing to me is the light weight flywheel. It is no harder to drive than stock so far as I can tell but, the engine revs quicker and believe it or not I would argue that it allows the SRM work more efficient. Downshift revs seem more precise and they don't hang as much as the stock flywheel.

The push-rod and clutch switch needed to be adjusted out because the engagement point was to close to the floor for my liking. 2 1/2 turns is what I ended up from stock.

The only issue I have now is I think I may have some air still in the system. The engagement gets lower/closer to the floor and feels a little spongy as the heat builds from normal driving. I've bled it 2 times and have rechecked the connections from top to bell housing dust cover about 5 times "No Leaks detected".

The whole SZ clutch kit is very well built and feels really solid.

Thanks Seb
