I made several runs in a row at the air strip, Big Dog contest the day before ZDAYZ and I had no issues at all. It has also preformed well at track days. I have been very satisfied with it and would recommend it as a quality set up.

That is what I needed to know. With TT you need it to be grabby with a lightened flywheel or it will start to slip in no time. The engagement point is what I am more worried about. I do not want to have to buy the RJM pedal assembly. I need to order it this week. MY CSC has given me short notice that it is about to die.

Not trying to derail your thread here, but is there any particular reason why you don't want the RJM clutch pedal?

Also, the fact that your CSC did not fail completely means it's probably the master going out. That's not to say that your CSC isn't on its way out.

Because I have delt with many many CSC issues. I have some fluid missing from my CMC reservoir. It went out the CSC. Only very few times have CMC's failed and had a leak. If you run the CMC dry when you have a CSC issue, then CMC is done. The CMC seals can't take the heat or being ran dry.

Not sure I understand that.... Can you explain?

I have the Z1 full face clutch and flywheel combo.. just like stock with a little extra pedal effort, including the engagement point. Rated to hold 500ft-lb.

Do to the speed the RPM ramps up when under boost with the lightweight flywheel. Over time, the clutch will start to slip a bit and create heat. That is when you get the smell. I personally want the on/off switch. The clutch will chatter a bit sometimes. I am OK with it. It beats replacing the dang clutch all the time. Time will tell if you have chosen wisely. Put 30k on it and let us know.

Makes sense to me... I guess I'll find out in the next couple of years!

This what happened to my on the SZ Street Max clutch and flywheel setup. It was fine and just like oem until I got my 100 octane tune. I was at just over 550 tq and it would start to smell if I had to slip it or hit it hard more than a couple of times in succession.

The RJM pedal will not move engagement UP, Only down lower.

ZSpeed Performance Nissan Infinti OEM & Performance Parts

This will have all the grab you need

It will have a bit higher than midway engagement point as it comes and I can make it higher and grabbier if you like by swapping out the slave cylinder size on the CMAK from standard to our race version slave.
