It's been a while....old ???s
Hello once again all. I've been off the board for a while, deployed for the summer again, I'm at the end of my current deployment and can't wait to get home soon.
When I get back, I want to get back in my 03 Z and get some seat time again, I miss it, but I need to get my clutch replaced, and while I'm at it, do some other work too. I plan on going with the Monster Stage 3.5 premium kit, adding an adjustable master cylinder, and a remote bleeder while it's all apart, I've asked this a while back but don't remember the answers that came about. What is the going cost and best places to get a remote bleeder from for my car? The Premium kit for the clutch is $850, the adjustable master is $310, I need to know how much and where to get the remote bleeder from to finalize how much money to set aside for this to be fixed while home before I have to report back to duty.
All recommendations are welcome, and I'll check them out as I can get a decent internet connection.

Clutch kit
frist of all thank you for your service. I guess you shopped around for the clutch kit you want and other parts. I cant be of much help but I would ask the supplyer of you parts if they offer any kind of military discount. they might knock 10% off or
free shipping. It never hurts to ask ! Good luck.

Your profile states that your car is stock, if this is still the case I think you are wasting your time and money on an aftermarket clutch, the LS6 clutch is a good clutch in my opinion.
The adjustable master cylinder is also a waste of money, if you want that capability you can modify the stock master cylinder to obtain adjustability. One of the forum vendors posted a DIY on how to do this several months ago, if you perform a search it will probably pop back up.
If you are still hell bent on an aftermarket clutch, you may want to reconsider something other than the monster clutch, there have been several postings over the past few months on these clutches failing with very little use, the manufacturer has come on the forum and stated they had some kind of manufacturing issue that has now been resolved, whatever.
The remote bleeder is a good idea in my opinion, I used the one from TICK, it works well and it has never leaked.

Yes, my car is stock, for now. I would like to do some upgrades, but I have some debt from my last mod-bug attack, that has to be paid off first. That's the reason for the aftermarket clutch decision, call it planning ahead if you want. I'll check into the search for the mod to the stock master cylinder to make it adjustable, the remote bleeder is something that just makes sense, and from what I've seen Tick makes a pretty good one, McLeod has a good one too, just looking for some more info before purchasing anything. There were a few vendors on here that made them too last time I searched, but I can't remember who they are and it's been months since I found them and I've slept since then so I can't remember who.
My plan for the car is heads, cam, intake and full exhaust, this car is going to stay n/a for now, I'll never hit the 700 range, but IF things change in the future, I wanna be prepared, I don't want to have to take it all apart again unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary.

I got my remote bleeder from RPM. A&A probably has them as well. It was about $75 at the time, because it was a new item. I've seen them for less. I'm sure other Supporting vendors have them, but those two are close to you, and I've always gotten good service from both.
