Sticky: (Official) 370Z Clutch Pressure (CSC) Failures

RumbleFish · 06-24-2015, 11:45 AM

You can add me to that list. Had mine go out in my 2010 Sport @ approx. 29K

Dealer put in the GTR fluid and that has held up for the last 6K or so.

Thank ya... Yeah it is, I thought there would be more. But there probably is that I didn't see or didn't chime in yet.

And not everyone who owns a Z joined a forum either. I'm sure there are many more out there got screwed by the stealership and no where to turn for support.

That's true... Maybe should start a petition and try and get it to pass around on other forums and sites like autoblog or jalopnik... The G37's and newer 350Z's (i'm assuming G35's too) had/have this issue and in 2008 they actually did a recall for the 350Z to replace the clutch slave cylinder

very nice work BamBamz

eastwest2300 · 06-24-2015, 12:35 PM

Any of you guys thought about going to your local news affiliate? I mean this is pretty serious, and here you have Nissan tap dancing, I say the hell with calling 1800 Nissan, let the news MAKE them do something about it.. Like chevrolet, and the air bag recall.

Uxi · 06-24-2015, 12:49 PM

I was just over 2000 actually, BamBam.

Wonder how long before we have a 2016 up there.

Zbrah · 06-24-2015, 12:50 PM

Anyone on the 370z fb group? Please make a post and share the link to this thread to spread the word. The more attention we can get the better.

Great ide! We need to find someone with direct contact.

Uxi · 06-24-2015, 12:54 PM

Yeah I already went down the corporate route when it happened. I did get the car back a day earlier than they originally told me but still lost Memorial Day weekend to a bottom feeder Kia Rio rental, but that was it. :\

Man, if you brought that list alone to the news, I garauntee they'd jump on that, a little bit of research on their part, they could find out if anyone was hurt/injured or died in direct cause of this defect.

eastwest2300 · 06-24-2015, 01:01 PM

Nissan would hate you for contacting the news, but you'd be doing a pretty noble thing for a sh1t ton of people.

Zbrah · 06-24-2015, 01:03 PM

Nissa can kiss my azz

eastwest2300 · 06-24-2015, 01:06 PM

looking at the bigger picture, i can assure you, if someone went to the news, the bad press alone will MAKE nissan act, bad press = lost sales (usually)

Uxi · 06-24-2015, 01:19 PM

The trick is getting the press to take it up.

Highly recommend the Motul

When the dealer covered my CSC replacement (you can add me to the list 2010 G37 Coupe - 1200 miles on odometer) I brought them off the shelf synthetic dot 4 and had no issues with my replacement OEM CSC. It worked perfectly until 43k when I upgraded it for the turbo swap to one of Joe's HD CSC. Went Motul at that time, good stuff
