Where's Your Engagement Point?

You just need seat time. The clutch int eh 370z is very hard to drive smooth. To this day (I bought my Nismo at 16,7xx mi and now at 39,9xx miles) I still can't drive her as smooth at I do in my brothers Shelby or Altima. The car is just plain hard to drive smoothly. The other thing that made it hard for my to drive the car well when I first got her is the gas pedal. I did not like it at all! The stupid mounted to the floor thing also took a few thousand miles before it felt normal.

Not enough people bitch about this IMO. Terrible design. Also, it's very awkward for me to heel-toe. So difficult, in fact, that I have to force myself to turn off SRM and practice. In previous cars, I relished being able to heel-toe myself.

Oh thank god, I am not the only one.

I only have my SRM on when I'm messing around. I drive 99% of the time with it off. I find it easier to heel-toe when I depress the break pedal with the part between the ball of my toes and arch. It's just easier to sidestep for some reason.

Bad, the 370z's clutch does not use a cable to operate the CSC. It's all hydraulic lines. You can undo the locking nut on the master and spin the rod to shorten it some.

Thanks for the info...I guess as short as the rod will let you go..
