Any help would be great...i cant seem to get a nice clean shift sometimes seems to be jerky alot.

clutch chatter is normal, the jerky feeling is coming from the helper spring, either remove it or get a better clutch and flywheel combo

i have the JWT clutch and flywheel combo and to be honest, it makes chatter at idle but it got rid of the chatter at stops and it got rid of the jerky feeling because i can actually get some feedback from the clutch with the stock helper spring in it

I too am thinking about switching over from my evo to a z. Sick of the cheap quality in the evo. EVERYTHING rattles -_- would you recommend the switch?

My friend with a DE 350 loves driving my evo since I have 350whp which isn't much but its pretty quick. I have yet to drive a 370z though but I think I'll love the ride much more

Anything else that you dislike about it (Evo)? I am curious to hear the complete story.

For the longest time the Evo X was on the top of my list for my car search. It still tends to be more practical with the back seat and has more trunk space. Especially, when kids are part of the equation. The AWD also helps for Chicago weather. Its cheap to mod, relative to the Z. My brother in law has a 600hp built motor Evo. I think he spent 2k to 3k on it, he loves that thing.

However, I have come to the conclusion that the Z is going to be my next car. It just look devious, and has over all better fit and finish. I bought the wife a mini-van for traveling w/kids and running around for errands.

I have been driving my 10 year old Honda accord as my daily, and it still continues to run great. So the Z works out really well for me. It's going to be my project car for the foreseeable future.

I drove a 2014 Touring and found that it was much better then what I had expected. Especially compared to my 90zx NA. Power in stock form is plenty (This perception will probably change once the mod bug hits, remember I drive a 4cyl Accord). It handles amazing, and the ride is actually not that firm.

Good luck w/your search.
