I went with an Exedy chromoly steel flywheel and a southbend stage 5 clutch and love it.

yeah no spring internall that I know of on the stock throttle body - that's sorta what makes it drive by wire 
Easy way to check I would guess is at idle (car running), see what TPS is at. Should be a very low % or voltage #, depending on how that ecu displays the data. Next things would be to see what cam timing, injector pulsewidth and ignition timing are doing. Hopefully you can draw some correlations with all that data and figure it out

Sounds like you had a clutch fluid bleeding issue, that would have nothing to do with the clutch itself.
ALL aftermarket flywheels for the 350Z cause that drivetrain noise. It's a function of them not damping the vibrations from the motor like the stock dual mass unit. It doesn't mean they "suck azz". My Carbonetic setup is even louder than the JWT setup was.

If you like to race from a dig. JWT clutch it self sucks. I had no air or bleeding problems. If you have owned one and draged you would understand. The hotter they get the worse they are. For NA jwt would be the way to go. That is from my experience with the JWT clutch and flywheel.
Read post #6 in this thread. I HAVE owned the JWT setup and drag raced with it EXTENSIVELY.
the act street clutch has performed flawlessly for me for over 3 years of forced induction daily driving. I have been very impressed with this clutch. I am also using it with the ACT Prolite flywheel.
wow, lol yeah I guess that would do it. Mine is holding up well with my current power levels. The stage 5 is rated for 690 lbs right? jeesh

Which is is a little over 400 to the rear wheels How much power is your car putting down
around 600whp@14psi

JWT, even though I really don't like the company, their clutch is great for that torque level (clutches hold torque not HP, HP doesn't matter in this discussion).
Worked great both in terms of streetability and ability to handle launches on slicks producing 1.6 60' times and 11.5s at the track, over and over and over. Great setup.
