It will take you time and plenty of practice driving the 6MT in your Z seeing that the clutch is very sensitive. Every vehicle has it’s different point of contact and you will have to find where that contact point is. Learning the relationship between the clutch pedal and accelerator pedal. Once you find how to properly smoothly engage the clutch from 1st to 2nd it will become easier. Definitely DO NOT ride your clutch, force shifts, or miss shifts. These clutches I found don’t like slow shifting. The normal or aggressive engagement of the clutch is the best way to use the clutch. Adjusting your seat position to a spot that is comfortable for you will help you. The goal is to make a smooth transition when shifting feathering the clutch pedal out and pressing your accelerator pedal. You say you smell burnt clutch after driving your Z how many miles is on your clutch? Install the Z Speed Performance CMAK before your Genuine Nissan CSC fails and leaves you stranded somewhere. It is only a matter of time before it fails. The question is when? After you learn to properly drive your Z then consider upgrading your clutch and flywheel in the future. Also the RJM Performance clutch pedal is something that will help you out placing where you would like your clutch to grab in the position you like and very much improve the engagement of your clutch pedal and is well worth it.
