25k so far with a couple hard launches every so often when I get a chance. No signs of wearing out at all.

I just replaced mine with a JWT at 113k. My mechanic said I probably could have gone another year on the stock one. But I couldn't stand the late/slow engagement on the stock clutch.

how much labor did you pay if you don't mind me asking? did you replace flywheel too? does it make rattling noise?

Yes, I bought the JWT combo package from Kyle at Import Parts Pro. I paid $295 for the install. Lol, the clutch does make the rattling noise when it's warm, but only at low RPM. I usually have my music turned up so I can't really hear it anyway. It doesn't bother me that much.

The clutch in my Z lasted 118K miles and was only degraded because of a rear main seal leak other wise it would have been alive and well when I sold the Z with 125K miles on the clock. I did replace the clutch master cylinder twice when I experienced the pedal falling to the floor....aggravating.

I'm going on 114K on the original clutch. Doesn't slip so I think I've got a bit of life left. My release bearing makes noise when cold though.

Have 81k on mine and it feels normal. Still has great engagement. I don't do burnouts or sit in a lot of traffic , so I would think that helps a bit.
