This was the best mod I've done for my car hands down. I would encourage all to do it.

Oh..and a cheap slightly stiffer then stock clutch setup is using a 240z pressure plate clutch disk with a ka throwout bearing. 2nd gear is much more "grabby" then a stock setup, but not as harsh as aftermarket. Nice firm pedal too.

While your at it, I'd say lighten your stock flywheel too. Clutch is kinda new, but it revs so much more freely with the manual+lightened flywheel.

Next up...Silvia Front End Conversion..

Geeaj did you install it your self?

If so what electrical changes did you need to do?
what did you use as your reference guide?

Thanks man!

oh and how much did your lightend fly wheel cost and what brand/ where did you get it if you do not mind me asking.
