I have had my civic Si for 6 years now with OEM clutch and I am at 105,000 miles. I bought this 350z a month ago with a turbo kit and 33,000 miles with new clutch. Sad to say it but my honda seems to be built better. Think I will just drive the clutch and flywheel into the ground and buy new in 09 with my bonus.

Np my friend, any way you can flip to CL-11 for the torque spec for the bleeder? Thanks in advance for all your help with my Z.

Sure thing. If you can't read this, just save it to ur hd, then open it in windows. That way you can zoom in & pan around the page...

I would just hand tighten it with a hand driver, then use a wrench to give it 1/4 turn more. That's what I did when I switched to Motul. No problems leaking or over tightening...
