Clutch Master Cylinder Failure? Clutch pedal to floor..
My clutch pedal has no pressure and most likely the culprit is the CMC. looking at my options and leaning toward the ZSpeed CMAK w/ Southbend stage 2 17lbs flywheel and quiet disk or JWT set up with their flywheel. Also I want to get the RJM pedal with the upgraded CMC. Any opinions?

My pedal is to the floor, fluid was low recently switched over to rbf 600 within 1500mi. Can’t get clutch to engage to switch gears. Is there a way to edit thread title? Still learning...

Have you had the system fail on you? It’s a flaw from the beginning and the latest 370z has the problem still. Nissan should fix this flaw. But do you guys have any suggestions on the options I listed? I will be purchasing soon I’ve done research and that’s what I’m getting is the best options.

A fail[ed] slave will indeed result in fluid loss. The main seal will fail and eventually you pump all the fluid out. The fix is $$$, involves dropping the trans. Depending on mileage is also a good time to replace the clutch entirely.
Replacing the master at this time is also a good idea.

As for replacement, I’d just go OEM, but mostly because it would be a warranty repair for me and I’m not making much more than stock power.
Agreed though, it does seem like a weak link, hence my early clutch flush.

That's classic slave cylinder failure, pretty common on Zs and Gs. Get an HD one from ZSpeed or Z1 makes a concentric slave cylinder delete. Replace the master while you're at it since the contaminated fluid might have screwed that up too and the failing master might kill your new slave. If you got the $$$ might as well replace the clutch since you're 95% of the way there on labor to get at the slave cylinder.

What you listed in the original post is exactly what I just installed after my CSC went out.
South Bend Stage 2
ZSP Steel 17lb flywheel
Quiet Disk
CMAK
Motul 5.1
RJM pedal assembly and CMC
Drives very similar to stock. Revs a little quicker and it's not that noisy at all. Definitely a great upgrade and no longer have to worry about the factory CSC crapping out.

Here's another tip exedy does not make the oem replacement for the g37 anymore. They're sourced from a company called luk. Rock auto sells the oem replacement disc n pressure plate by a company called sachs. Also for the g35 the factory would sell the disc and plate separate but no not with the g37 the factory sells both together only.

I think I’m going with ZSpeed CMAK kit which requires no adjustments which the Z1 kit calls for.
