I would say yes being that is what many of the guys around here say. I don't have any experience with a FI Z with or without gears. Read through that thread I posted with the gear comparisons. It explains it in there some.

Any FI Z should NOT get shorter gears. It will only make every aspect of the car harder to controll. You would have a harder time launching the car, need bigger and grippier tires to put it down, spin more also. Gears are torque multipliers.
Also, I can't see how some one could actually say you should use a 4.08 or a 3.9 over the other. The difference really is probably 50 rpm's.
Back in Braldey's 240 days, he had a VLSD from a J30 with 3.9 gears, when stock 240 gears are 4.10's. Could not tell a difference between his and mine.
my $.02
OK, I'm done
edit: Holy sh#t, 500 post damn I'm whoring it up
