Terrible. So I have been getting a weird pedal feel for a little while now sometimes I would have free play then other times I wouldn't if I felt it get soft a quick run over 100 would stiffen up the clutch pedal and that to me is very strange. Another thing my clutch pedal has been getting stuck half way on hard shifts and causing it to slip my guess is the csc has been sticking but the whole losing pressure and regaining it has been a strange to say the least. Anyway imma try and bleed it today and take it to Nissan soon. Last time they just bled it with "gtr" fluid. I'm 500 miles still in power train lol

Get ready to have it replaced yourself. Power train warranty does not cover the CSC. Only the 3yr/36k warranty will. I would advise on getting an upgraded CSC and a new MC and having it installed. Hope funds are not tight. this is going to cost a bit. If you are going to upgrade the clutch/flywheel, now is the time.

I have the upgraded zspeed csc for about two years now and it's doing the same thing??? Is it just going out already? Any help would be appreciated !!!!

If you have replaced the CSC with an improved more robust one if you're having "symptoms" of failure, then it's likely the Master. Slave fails ONLY one way, "Leaking fluid" and it immediately stops working. (I guess throwout bearing could go to tho) Think about that.
You're taking a matched Master/Slave cylinder pair and putting something stronger on the CSC end. I highly doubt the new CSC would fail before the Master.
Check your Master cylinder fluid level and monitor that. If the CSC is leaking then the Master Cylinder fluid level will be empty or low.
