Taking off the front and rear bumper supports will reduce weight and therefor decreasing the load on the engine. Increasing reliability

Start by upgrading the fluids in your Z with products that meet or exceed factory specs. Replace old brake fluid with DOT 4 brake fluid with a higher dry boiling point should be a good example. That same brake fluid can be used in the clutch slave and master to make your clutch more reliable. The list goes on and you can read multiple threads on here to determine the best fluid or lubricant to improve reliablity.
