Your review is pretty much my experience so far with the kit. It is probably tough in some areas to find a shop that would take on installing the CMAK kit, I am lucky to have a good race shop locally.

You guys will not believe this....

My whole clutch issue was due to low fluids -facepalm-




Soo.. added a little DOT3, and wow, clutch is back!! I feel pretty dumb for not checking first. Thank you all for the assist however!
I did ended up buying the Z1 motor mounts and the Diff mounts. As suggested I did not purchase the trans mount until I try these on first. I will keep you guys posted if I try to do this myself or a shop!

LOL nice. Would recommend running DOT 4 or 5.1 fluid to avoid overheating and boiling the fluid. Do not use DOT 5 as it is incompatible with these and DOT 3.

Nice! But it begs the question... why was your clutch fluid low?

I thought I had broken it driving rough (bad attempts at drifting with old tires before new ones). I did see an early leak of it and just thought it was a damage/leaking axel but now I see what it is. I just hope that nothing is damage or REALLY damage. The clutch doesn't feel 100% but I'm hoping a flush and putting DOT5.1 as suggest above will help the last little bit. I'm sure it must have air in the system still. Other than that, looking forward getting the mounts on hopefully soon.

leaking by the axel? could be the master cylinder or a line in between

It's definitely the CSC, had it happen to my car at 45k. I replaced mine with an aftermarket metal cylinder that won't have the same issue as the the OEM plastic one. Since the transmission needs to come out for this (Thanks Nissan!) you might as well do the clutch and other maintenance stuff in the transmission if it hasn't been done just to avoid paying labor twice.
