It's been awhile since I owned a manual so I can't remember "normal" noises. Z trans seems to be noisy all around too.
The 370z transmission is very noisy, and if you get a light weight fly wheel it will only get more noisy. I think the flywheel is the thing that causes the noise but it's only audible when its connected to the transmission (clutch engaged).

Come to the April 6th or April 14h meet and we can compare.
