Normal my ***. sounds like air in the lines to me though. Also I had the heavy duty Zspeed CSC put in mine, which is far more reliable than the stock NISSAN unit.

Dealers typically try replacing the fluid first if that can get the car moving off the lot, CSC takes a good amount of time to replace. The system also isn't easy to bleed, keep using that warranty while you have it.

There are several guys here with 2016 Nismos with less than 2,000 (2K) miles with CSC failures. Heck! There is a guy that was doing a test drive with 6 miles on the Odometer and the freaking CSC failed!

I'm just debating whether I should install the HD CSC + RJM pedal immediately when I pick up my new Z. Or drive a couple a few thousand miles first to make sure my car isn't a lemon/other larger issues.

Already ordered the parts and they'll arrive way before my car does.

No problem at all - just a complete transmission removal and replace.
