For the Nismo flywheel, I don't have the weight of the individual flywheel, but the full assembly is 40 pounds (they discuss it in this video). The full stock assembly is 55 pounds, so the Nismo clutch drops 15 pounds, or just about 30% of the rotational weight. It's pretty significant.
I...
Glad I could help.
The revs do start dropping faster after clutching with the Nismo version, yes. I have heard about the ECU hang like you mentioned, but I don't think you can change that without flashing a tune, and I'm keeping my warranty intact. I'll do a tune and more aggressive parts...
Ok a bit overdue, but here's the long-form update to this thread. I've finished breaking the car in (and the new clutch) and I've gotten some decent seat time with the new clutch installed.
As I mentioned I would, I spoke with the dealer and they were more than happy to order the part from...
Hi, yeah. I do have some updates just needed to finish installing it and driving it a fair bit. I'll post a longer update soon, but short answer is I was right. The lighter flywheel/clutch fixed the rev hang issues like I suspected.
Just finished installing mine a few days ago. Main things to do:
1. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. They're super comprehensive, follow them.
2. The two tips might look misaligned when the mufflers are aligned (and vice-versa). Focus on aligning the mufflers, and use the hangers in the back for final...
Realistically if you're worried about "safely" tuning the car, you'll stay away from flex fuel setups. It will wear stuff down faster even if you retrofit the parts you listed.
With that caveat out there, you'll likely need an ams high pressure fuel pump (HPFP) sensor as well for the new fuel...
Woah!! What did they do here? It looks like they deleted the intercoolers for direct cold air intakes. Is this a single turbo or something? Looks wild.
There is one detail that doesn’t add up. In their video they said the car was towed directly to an IAA lot before State Farm took it and they heard nothing for 4 weeks while a fire investigator examined it. If that’s the case, how did they get the chance to swap out the tires and exhaust? In...
Give it a couple years and who knows? Suddenly marketing decides it's time for a nice PR boost and out comes a manual Nismo. Sounds a lot like another company that had sudden competition... cough...Toyota....cough
Looks like more Nismo parts are coming soon. Some of what I'm seeing pop up on Z1 and other sites:

Yeah that looks like stock to me. Even if something has changed, the Y-pipe still looks like the sub-2" one on the regular models, so it's not ideal. They really should have at least installed the Nismo exhaust by default (the one made by Borla).
I was lucky enough to acquire a brand new Black Performance 6MT Z at MSRP! I've been calling dealerships and refreshing the nissan inventory page for almost 6 months now, and it finally paid off. I'm planning on babying it through the break-in period, but as soon as that's done I'm excited to...
