Well all I can say is WOW! The lite weight flywheel is awesome. This thing rev's so easily now. With the heavier clutch and the new flywheel, I'm having to relearn how to drive the car.

Normally this flywheel would increase the transmission chatter but with the silence option you can barely hear any chatter and that is only because I was trying to listen for it directly next to a brick building. It has maybe 1/16th of the chatter noise now.

Good deal! Keep an eye on the clutch fluid reservoir. It may fill up with clutch dust during the break in. If it starts to show black floating things or turns black, suck it out with a syringe and then refill the reservoir. Pump it a couple dozen times and then repeat. I lost pressure on mine a few times after replacement because of this. Just check it every time you get gas for the first 3-4k miles.

Hey guys, new to the 370Z club from Olathe, KS. My wife and I just purchased a black 09 370Z Touring and, while I love it, I don't know a whole lot about it beyond what little research I could do on the interwebs. I was at Cars and Coffee this August and I'm sure I saw some of your guys' cars there, there were three or four Zs there and they all looked great. I was the one driving the 89 Jag that looked like it didn't quite belong, I hadn't picked up the Z yet at that point.

The next time you guys meet up somewhere it would be fun to buzz by and say hello, maybe I'll see you all at the next Cars and Coffee. I think I'll bring the Z this time, even though it's bone stock.
