The Z is such a fun car. Im not too familiar with the 6MT on the Z but there are lots of posts on the forum that you would probably benefit from regarding your tranny.

Look under the hood at the bolts securing it to the hinges. If the factory paint is still solid and even, and no obvious damage/ill fitting body panels, etc, then the respray is probably to correct paint chips. The Z's have really REALLY soft paint.
