Been thinking about taking the leap back into the Z family again. I am a previous owner of an 08 350z. Loved the car, but it had some problems. I had to replace the CSC twice. Once I paid $1500 and the second time that part was still under warranty. Well I got fed up and decided to purchase something with more room and reliable. So I got an 09 g37 coupe in AT. Owned this vehicle for over two years now. But ever since I got rid of my MT I have had the itch to get one again.

Now what I am worried about is that Nissan has the same configuration for the clutch assembly, which includes a CSC inside of the transmission. If that part was outside of the tranny, Id be less worried about replacing it. But I don't want to buy a $30k car and then have to drop the transmission within a year. If I buy one of these should I just have the dealer install a Z Speed CSC as part of my stipulation for purchasing the vehicle?

One other thing I noticed was Nissan discontinued my favorite color, Monterey blue. Are there chances this color would come back??

Convince me to get a z...
