This will mark the 3rd time the slave/master cylinder will need to be replaced on my car. 2 of which were under warranty. This last time I am out of factory warranty and I am left with my extended warranty but they are telling me it is not covered. Either way I think I am going to forgo the drama and just buy this. Have to save some pennies for the whole setup though. I plan to change the clutch, flywheel, CSC, and Master cylinder.

Last 3 question(s):
- Do you recommend rebuilding the master cylinder or replacing? I saw a rebuild kit for $18 which is better then paying $110 for a new one.
- Do you guys sell stock clutches? I plan to race the car NA but keep it a daily driver.
- Any suggestion for an upgraded clutch? I may consider an upgrade just trying to keep cost down.

Rebuilding or replacing the master cylinder is never a bad idea on the Z34 as they are known to have problems. I will say that we have never had to replace the master on the Z1 shop car and it has 36K ABUSED and track tested miles.

I would suggest the Z1 clutch and flywheel combo over going with a stocker as the Z1 flywheel will allow for quicker revs.

If I install the combo now, later on down the road could another clutch/flywheel combination be simply swapped in with no issue to the eliminator kit?

It all depends on which combo you install. If anything should need to be changed it should be fairly simple to change it.

John,

I am preparing to do this work this week and had a question about the MT fluid. I recently did a flush, so I'm hesitant to change it again but willing. I'm just a little concerned about being able to properly tip the transmission (it will be chained to a transmission floor jack) to save the fluid. Any thoughts on how easy or difficult this might be? If it makes things easier, I've got a local cycle shop that can get it next business day.

It's normally a 5.5hr job.

I was specifically asking about the procedure of tipping the transmission to the rear in order to salvage the transmission fluid. Do you foresee any difficulty doing this using a transmission floor jack?

O sorry, we have a trans plug for that. So be very careful when tilting. If you go to far fluid will leak from the rear.

Gotcha. Yeah, I just decided to go ahead and do another flush. The last time I only had three quarts to fill anyway so I want to make sure it's full. Plus I know I would lose at least a little during the removal process. Since I needed one, might as well buy three more - easy to justify an extra $50 in the process of saving $800 in labor

*edit* I just wanted to add that I just purchased my transmission jack, and the jack itself has adjustments to tilt the transmission in any direction while it is chained to the jack. I will probably still go ahead and replace the fluids, but I now know that it wouldn't have been a problem to save most of the oil (provided I plug the rear). The dealer sold me the wrong washers for the plugs before my last flush, so I can put new washers on as well.

You guys should do a group buy on this!

Can't do that at the moment due to the high cost on our end

diego@vossen · 05-29-2014, 12:46 PM

Awesome!!! I think I will jump on this also for my 2013 G37 6MT.

you won't be disappointed!

On another note, had a layover in Ft Lauderdale last month and saw a Vossen billboard, very cool!

Hey John I'm looking into using your new csc kit but the car also just had a tt kit thrown on it so I will need to upgrade my clutch and flywheel as well. Any recommendations for any clutch and flywheel kits that will work well with your csc? I know you guys have your own clutch set up but I'm wondering how it will hold up with the added power because I see some turbo guys using specialty-z clutch set ups but not so many with the z1 clutch set up? If anyone could chime in it would really help.

Thanks a lot!

Hey John, I have a Spec Twin Disc Clutch that I will be installing on my HR Z. What can you do for me to get this CSC elimination kit on my Z before I send the Z in the to get the clutch installed.

Thanks,

Manny
