It's been a long time since I owned a Z

congrats angrybits

as for the clutch, i felt the same way and thought i could just get used to it but i never did so i did a modification that you can find on the forum or just go to your trusted mechanic shop. it entails taking out the clutch pedal spring (optionally replacing it with a lighter load spring - i didn't) which will make it slightly more stiff but you'll get more feel, and on top of that set the engagement point lower. i have mine set up as low as possible so i only need to release about 1-1.5" for engagement, instead of the stock crazy high engagement point

edit:
you'll probably notice the drive by wire throttle lag. an intake/exhaust/ecu reset will take care of that
