I thought I would get used to it, but I've put about 1000miles on the Z so far and I'm still jerky into 1st and 2nd sometimes and look like a fool. Other times everything is smooth. I feel like everytime I don't drive the car for awhile I need to "relearn" the clutch.

Got one a while back, definitely felt an improvement. I'm actually taking it out this weekend though, gonna install my RJM clutch pedal.

I heard changing the whole assembly is the way to go for the best setup

What he said. All Zs should be 6MT

haha. I did remove the OEM spring all together and it felt great minus the play in the clutch when its up. Should be getting the lighter spring this week and that should eliminate the play. Can't wait!

Looks like I may not be able to attend the meet on the 14th either. I think the wife aready had plans made, I'll have to see. Are you guys planning on going to Supercar Saturdays in May?

I will be, and will organize a premeet as well so we can park in a group.

I will definitely try. I am a golf nut as well. My job fortunately allows me to play on Weekdays, however with my friends, it's Saturday/Sundays.

As of today, the weather for this Saturday is calling for a high of 58F, but a 40% chance of rain.

When will this be called either way?

I'm almost positive the Midwest Z meet is rain or shine. Personally I'm hoping for rain because I need the salt roads cleaned.

For this Sat, if it's raining it means I will not be organizing any premeet or official 370z roll in.

As an FYI, usually I cancel and reschedule "our" meets if it rains.
