weird... apparently they appreciated in price a bit? lol anyways use the CBB as a guide not as hard rule.

if you are getting a manual, check the fluids. the clutch fluid particularly just to make sure it's in good order.

also i did my csc replacement. the ZSPEED HD CSC will not have a warranty unless you change the master at the same time. you're looking at a ~1500 job or so labour + parts in. you will need an OEM CMC, the aftermarket CSC and a bottle of fluid. labor is about a 4-6 hour job iirc.


this is probably a good time to buy a used one. end of the season is also good as people don't want to store them so they'll let them go for cheaper. but since spring is around the corner they may get the spring fever effect lol

a car is a car. YOU can walk away. i did and found a killer deal literally minutes after.
Thanks for the info about the slave. Hopefully someone will chime in to tell us what a Nissan dealership charges to perform their special magic.

I am a firm believer in spring fever because I'm experiencing it as I type. I can't get that base-model test drive out of my head.

You last paragraph is exactly right. That is my experience, too. It never hurts to wait, especially when it comes to buying vehicles which will all eventually end up in salvage-yard heaven.
