All good but my Z left me stranded. I dont post much, just read and take notes . This is my 3rd Z and the muthaf@#$a left me stranded. 25K mi and no issues until last Saturday, I pressed the clutch and guess what, it didn't come back up. Well it came up half way a couple of times but then it stayed down. I was close to a BMW dealer and I literally coasted in the parking lot. Pulled out the phone and to my surprise I read the slave cylinder or hydraulic throw out bearing is the correct name has issues. Needless to say I left it there for a day and got a towed to Nissan. BAD BAD MOVE. So the service rep calls me and says something is wrong. DUH. The tech got the pedal up but its slipping, blah blah blah..... you know the rest. Oh sir you need to let us look further. OK, they look and guess what the fly wheel and pressure plate and crazy burn marks not to mention the springs are all bent up. No leak by the throw out bearing so they cant fail it. They are claiming that the reason the pedal stayed down is because of the clutch slipping. umm isn't the clutch a hydraulic issue, not mechanical but whatever I went to dealer and saw everything so I had to buy all new stuff. Used the search button, called Joe from
zspeed, purchased stage 2 south bend clutch, flywheel with quiet disk, hd csc, master cylinder, steel lines, some fluid 1500 bucks. Dealer charging 700 to install. Damn. Tech seemed cool and spoke about this a little bit. The service rep was ok but I think I got a conflicting story about the pedal coming back up. Whatever, they installing it now. I will update when its done. OH yeah I called Nissan and guess what, they took 3 days to tell me nothing is covered. Thanks Nissan. Last Nissan I buy. Next sports car will be real sports car but for now Im broke so have to drive my 2012 370z with FI exhaust and all this new stuff...... Anyway thats my story, sorry fellas just venting to the community.
