I've had a 350 and a 370. Yes. Both have noisy clutches. Either Z is a whole lot more power than the Tiburon with a lot more robust components. Don't worry about the noise, it's very normal. Also, many of the aftermarket setups are even noisier. I know in the 350s, the JWT had a reputation of being extremely loud.
Do what I do. Just buy a good sound system and crank it up. You can't hear the clutch then.

agree get a decent sound system,take care of it and it will take care of you.

my throw out bearing got real loud after my trip to the track, than it got a little better... Nissan just has noisy throw out bearings... I complained back when I had my G and they actually replaced my clutch and the noise was exactly the same , lmao...

It is what it is, but if you are giving the car a thrashing it will be louder.. I dont know if that makes sense but that is def the case with mine..

And like others have said a new clutch AND flywheel will produce more "chatter" Its part of the game... I just press the clutch in when Im in a drive through or something where the noise gets echoed and louder than normal.

Hmm.. Well I'm 17 and I have been driving this car for a year (on June 26th), and I don't think I'm "hot ****". I treat the car with respect, and never abuse it. Give me a break.

PS - I didn't even ask (or beg) for this car.
