Mc & csc

Convinced more than ever to do this myself. Just weighing out options, I called/spoke with 2 different Nissan Service Dept and both persons I spoke with claimed to be the "Z and GTR Specialist". After explaining the situation:

1. Both "specialists" tried to bully me into going with OEM parts vs the ZSpeed Kit I'd be providing. I asked why go OEM if it's prone to fail anyway, to which they replied that OEM parts have warranty. I informed them that the warranty doesn't mean anything to me if it's prone to fail anyway.
2. One of the "specialists" took the time to look up the part from ZSpeed and was picking it apart and kept referring back to Nissan engineers that designed the car knows it the best. I asked if they knew the car so well, why hasn't the CSC issue been addressed/fixed since the 2007 350Z's?
3. Both "specialists" denied any known issues with the CSC, as in they have never heard of this issue before, at which point I hung up.

Luckily, I at least got a warning that the CSC was going out, and not nearly as bad as some of the stories I've read on this forum. IMO, this is a huge safety issue, so I'm shocked that Nissan has not issued a recall or a lawsuit in favor of this getting fixed by Nissan.
