Tilton and daily driving do not mix. At least that is what I have been told. It's noisy, difficult to drive in stop and go traffic, and really easy to stall. I wouldn't do it unless your car is only brought out on the weekends for track events. As for the FD, seems like one of the best NA upgrades you can buy, but it is pricey. There are much better lsds than Nismo, I like the Cusco RS.

 

There will be an article done for Sport Z Magazine on living with the Tilton 8# flywheel and dual disc clutch. Without giving anything away, it's well worth it for use at your local road race circuit! The VQ pulls and revs so quickly, you'd BETTER be ready to throw that next shift! As for street use, let's just say I enjoy a challenge and am adapting to the demands of the Tilton. Haven't tried the rear end ratio or diff change, but having done both for SCCA GT racing, I'm not inclined to go that route...

 

I've got that setup and it is awesome. You will have
to learn to shift in different places on the track, but
at most tracks, as you get faster, you end up shifting
right at track out. It spools up like crazy too. Downshifting
and upshifting is much easier and smoother. Plus rev-matching
is made eaiser as well.

I dropped about 2-1/2 seconds on a 1.8 mile track with this setup.
It transforms the Z into a much more powerful car.

Daily use can be improved it you raise the idle and adjust
the clutch pedal so it engages at a very predictable point.
Read, very little throw before the engagment point. The
raised idle makes it quieter and gives you a little more room
for error and the pedal throw adjustment makes it more
predictable.

 

guys , thank you for your reviews.
zillinois, i don't think i can raise my idle, my car is a 2004 built in june.
If you could explain a little about "pedal throw adjustment"( is that the plate to be used to cut pedal travel to the floor?).

I think up to 04.5 can have their idle raised. It can be done with the Service Tool that Nissan has.

The pedal adjustment - There is a bolt that connects to the clutch pedal that can be turned and adjusted to change where the clutch pedal engages.
