I have had the combo now for 8 months, with 8000 miles. I since added the Nismo CAI and everything is still running smooth. Ill update again in a year unless there are any problems.

Yeah, I don't think it will ever go away. I have just learned how to quite it; downshift all the time and keep the clutch in while sitting still.

well unfortunatly my Z1 Clutch died after 15,000 miles. The clutch had premature failure. Z1 Motorsports is backing their product by replacing the clutch for me. they are going to look into what materials went bad.


UPDATE: Z1 is taking the clutch to the manufacture before they are going to warranty anything.

There's too many factors in these pulls to trully tell if you gained any power from a lightweight flywheel.

Have you previously taken the car to a drag strip? If so, with "23 HP & 20 TQ", you will definately see a significantly higher trap speed than usual, assuming similar conditions.

Actually, you BOTH are correct! Check this out:
