I had an ACT 6-puck clutch, Fidanza flywheel, and ZSPeed HD CSC on my old Z. I had the same setup (minus the CSC) in my previous turbo G35. Yes, the chatter is more audible, but that's what happens when you use a lightened flywheel. I only had about 10k on the setup in the Z, but the ZSpeed HD CSC did nothing for me. The clutch would often get stuck on the floor. Other than that, I liked the way the 6-puck clutch felt and it never slipped on me with the 50k+ miles of abuse it went through on my G35.

I'm going for the SouthBend stage 2 daily kit. Almost oem like pedal feel, not heavy but is a bit stiffer as per what Joe@Zspeed told me.

Chatter is more audible is an understatement. I'm running a JWT lightweight flywheel with stock clutch and at idle my Z sounds like a diesel tractor... God forbid you turn the A/C on at a stoplight. People walking down the road looking at your car wondering if it's falling apart.

Other than that... It's a good mod.
