So I hit 90,000 on the stock clutch and fly and have started to notice slight grinds going into 3rd and the drivetrain starting to slip, the car actually started to feel slightly sluggish.

There are more than a handful of clutches and flywheel combos out there that people swear by, so I had no idea what clutch would be best for me. This was kind of pain staking because it costs $$$, I couldn't really afford to buy that triple plate carbon clutch only to find out that it wasn't the right one for me.

I wanted a clutch that did not slip, engaged smoothly, and with slightly larger sweet spot ( I have no idea what the technical term is) and firmer pedal feel. Concensous here for something like that seems to be the JWT Fly & Clutch combo or JWT Clutch and Nismo fly. In the end I went against the grain and went on the recommendation of my friend and went with Clutchmasters. The flywheel looked remarkably well made and very similar to the JWT or Nismo fly. The Clutch was the FX200 Kevlar clutch. My ride most likely wont go FI, so I didn't need that monster super hold millions of horsepower clutches. The FX200 is Kevlar, so wear is extremely good, I figure I could beat on it if I wanted for atleast 150,000 miles. As far as beating on the clutch, I only have about 300 miles on the clutch so I've only gotten a little out of hand. The clutch does not slip, even with 4 or 5 power-shifts in a row, does not smell or seem worse for the wear. When first installed the clutch pedal seemed much lighter than stock and I actually had problems with the car stalling out from a warm start. Since the Z has a hydraulic clutch I adjusted the clutch master cylindar, clutch pedal assembly, so the pedal was a bit lower and changing the engagement point, I think. The car now does not stall and the infamous T/O bearing sound is considerably less than with my stock setup. My car now also reminds me that I'm in the wrong gear, if the car revs below 2500 flywheel chatter kicks in, not to bad, but noticable. Shifting still feels precise, the shifting actually seems to pull you into gear, I would have to say it does shift a bit nicer in my opinion, shifing is easy and fun. Rowing through the gears with the lighter flywheel, 10 or 11 pounds, is much more effortless, the car revs freeer and much smoother. Downshifiing and rev matching is also much more forgiving. That jolt I sometimes used to feel from wrongly timed downshifts or upshifts are much less and I'm still learning clutch. I don't even know what this is doing to my clutch is slip the clutch a bit on shifts and even in turns and i find this combo seems to have a pretty wide engagement tolerance. I need to log 200 more miles on this and then I can really start to play, but so far I really like this combo. I bought it at JSCSpeed for under $1000, yeah yeah JWT is cheaper.
