As I mentioned, my Z is my daily driver. I do some spirited driving every once in a while but I don't track my car.

I would really value your opinion so I can make an informed decision on what to get.

So many choices for clutch + flywheel: Z1, South Bend, SPEC, ClutchMasters, ACT, SZ, etc...

Please help..
I put in an aftermarket CFC and a JWT clutch.

My advise is since you will have the tranny off, might as well take the opportunity to put in a light weight flywheel as well. the OEM flywheel is beastly heavy and I have had no issues at all with my new setup. the heavy flywheel is meant to decrease vibrations and make clutch engagement smoother or something, but I'm liking the light weight setup better.

The massive OEM flywheel is a very strange design decision and I believe was put in to help granny get her Z in 1st without stalling.

Trust me you won't miss it or its Q destroying weight, your engine will rev much faster too and be able to better slow your car under engine braking conditions.

As for the clutch JWT street clutch, it is pretty nice and will see you well into some standard boost mods.
