2. Wait until there are clutch failing symptoms - and if so what are they - noticeable slipping going up hill with WOT?
3. What should I pay (what did you pay) to have a dealer replace a clutch?
4. Any recommended mods with a new clutch - aftermarket, lightened flywheel, etc.
Thank you,

I am by no means a "Clutch Expert"
I just had my clutch replace and my car was at 75000 miles, basically the clutch was burnt. I receive no acceleration anymore, I would press the gas and the revs would spike up but barely any movement from the car.
I went to a third party, but I was not satisfy 100%. I bought the JWT 370Z Clutch / Flywheel Combo 09+ Z34, and an EOM Master Cylinder. The dealer was charging me 3400 dollars, because he stated Nissan has come out with an upgraded clutch and flywheel that also require a change of the master and slave cylinder. The third party charged me 1000 for labor which included Red Line Oil and the Clutch Oil.
I like the JWT clutch , however my car is now getting a new transmission because it was faulty. So.........I haven't had the chance to really test it out.
P.S. I was not satisfy with the third party because there was a screeching noise when I changed gears mostly 2nd gear, but it could've been the transmission which is getting replaced.
