New cover, throwout bearing, and lever arm installed for the CSC Elimination Kit.

I'm happy the clutch plate looks to be in good shape for 50K+ miles.

The root cause of this work - I wasn't interested in the OEM CSC failing while I'm out in the Middle of Nowhere, Texas. Thank you, Nissan, for using clutch components made of plastic.

got a flat today

also, screw nissan. the lug wrench in our trunks are horrible. they mess up the tops of the lug nuts:

ouch.

i carry several sockets and breaker bar in all my cars for emergencies. it's quite handy since you can break the nut loose and straighten the bar, twist off.

this was all on the freeway doing 75-80 too. scared the **** out of me. not sure if i need a new wheel now, since i drove at least 100yds on the blown tire due to people not letting me pull over to the right. luckily i did it safely and was able to change the donut on in about 20min. when i went to put the lugs on, the lug wrench would get stuck and chew the top of the stock lugs off. thanks nissan!!!

re-11. im pretty sure i have to replace both tires, and a wheel. god what an expensive flat. and yea, thanks...i nearly lost it, but was able to slow down in time

btw, for anyone who ever has to drive on the donut. my god, if it isnt obvious, drive slow. i was on 880S going 50mph with my hazards on. it felt like the car was going to veer off in any direction due to the roads.

Today I met up with CFZC people. Met them 1/2 way thru a caravan down to my town. Ended up parked @ a bowling alley with 10ish other Zs.

Was fun.

Installed LED into OEM fog light and wired one set to plate lights and one to tail light. Basically created a 4th brake light/fog light.

Pretty happy with end results and less than 15$ in lights and supplies.
