Tell me about it
anyways, im content in future maintenance cost beyond this point. Always getting fully synthetic as I always do. Im going to mod and drive this thing for the next 4 years.
Guys, after some research I decided i didn't want to replace the slave again soon. Looks like the current part number is the same for g35S and g37S. I decided to go for a more robust system.
Had my guy pick up this ZSpeed Heavy Duty Concentric Replacement Clutch Slave CSC

hope this saves me from this issue again, we will see.
Also have him looking at some high flow cats and intakes. Might as well get it all done at once.
Thanks for the responses, i'm glad you guys were around to reassure me. Plan on being here for a long time.

Quoting the installation instructions:
It is highly recommended to flush clutch fluid 1-2 times per year
Moisture contamination can damage the metal parts and later cause seal damage to your CSC.

I'm sure those work very well, but after reading the install it makes me a bit concerned about their longevity. Is there something particularly compromised in their construction (ie.material choices, etc.) that warrants this seemingly excessive maintenance concern which the stock part DOES NOT have?

^ as long as you do it once a year you should be fine, these Z slave cylinders really are robust and have no had any complains from what iv seen in all my research, i fully plan on getting this when i get my clutch done which i hope is not anytime soon, expect and hope for 100k from the stock despite the little abuse its taken being driven by others

Glad to hear, do post how the JWT and Z slave cyl work in tandem compared to before when it comes to engagement point and the difference in sound when in neutral as many have complained about the 'cement' mixer sound with aftermarket flywheels on our cars. I have been lucky to have no sound at all 99.9% of the time with my stocker that i like

I used the stock flywheel because I wanted to avoid chatter.
Otherwise I really love the clutch. When TCS is on if i depress the clutch fast after shifting with moderate throttle I can feel the TCS and it gives me a slip light. Im guessing because it is engaging hard.
When tcs is off it turns into a whole other beast. Maybe this is bc the only reason i turn tcs off is when i want to have fun. WOT this clutch grabs hard and chirps even third.
Im still breaking the clutch in and haven't had the opportunity to really rip on it. After I install my intakes i will be taking it out to play a little more.
Overall I am happy with the clutch. This transmission is much better than the one in my 03z. I dont know if the nismo bearing helped but this girl can shift super fast and hasnt grinded even once which my Z did all the time shifting fast.
