I've owned many MT cars and never wore out a clutch disc, pressure plate or flywheel. I've replaced many clutches for people that couldn't understand why this happened so "soon". How you drive is directly proportional to how long our total clutch mechanism lasts free from problems. Oddly many nissan dealers don't actually have 6 csc and/or cmc stocked on their shelves. ..wonder why?
Maybe we should drive these cars in the manner in which we can afford re. Repairs and wear and TEAR....just my 12 cents!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the clutch plate - I don't think anyone is saying there is. I currently have 83K miles on my stock clutch with absolutely no signs of slipping at this time; I would fully expect to get 120K miles out of it. Yet I have been through 4 OEM CMCs in those 83K miles. I'm sorry but the clutch hydraulic system in this car is garbage. CSC and CMC failures are too common on the Z to be normal wear and tear, or else someone at Nissan has a ridiculous understanding of what constitutes normal wear and tear.
