I'm sure it's more expensive for any auto manufacturer to equip a car with a DMF compared to solid flywheel. Most car companies are using DMF's today so compared to other cars, Nissan's DMF is probably equally priced.

I don't get it,

I've had manual transmission cars all my life. Changed more than a few clutches,transmissions, flywheels, etc. I've never seen a drive train thay makes the racket that these Z's make. As far as a solid flywheel making more noise than this dual mass junk, why is that? I've never had a dual mass flywheel before but, of the solids that I've had, not one ever made a sound. Occasionally when a throwout bearing went bad and was noisy, that meant that it was time to change it.
As far as these lousy transmissions are concerned, somebody needs to make an adapter kit to couple up a t-6 to the Z's 3.5.

Soo true. That is the only time I hear it when I get my coffee in the morning at DD.

Always does this when I'm next to a wall.
