Kewl deadman enjoy your ride.

Today I installed my smart top. Once again something Nissan should have done at the factory. Soo many kewl things I can do with my key fob now

Also got my garage door to work from my car. Programming these things are tricky sometimes. Got the car detailed and wind deflector tinted yesterday. Today going to a big cruise night at Twin Lakes Drive In in Perry NY. Things are looking Z for me today

Parked between 2 motorcycles today.. I need a sticker on my car saying my other ride is an R1. Or something like that..

On the TWM to stock conversion. I went back to my stock knob from the TWM piston. Stock just feels better in the hand, and isnt cold all winter long. Thing is i cant get it seated tight enough now. It has some twist in it i just cant seem to get rid of.

I drove my 370 for the first time in a week today -- also the first real drive with my new clutch return spring. I am liking it quite a bit. If you have not done this mod, you must (auto trans guys need not apply).

Onze can't I put the springs on the torque converter? Or maybe on the paddle shifters? Has to be a way to make this mod work LOL

is the clutch spring something that can be DIY? My Z is my only manual car so I don't really know any other clutch feeling. Might just keep it stock..

It is absolutely DIY -- about a 5 to 10 minute job.

Yep, I had to break out the book to do mine too.

For all interested, I am talking to the G/B OP and AK to try and work out additional group buy/s on this spring.

Definately a DIY. If this is your first manual, you need to do it just so you can feel what a clutch SHOULD feel like!!!

If you decide to go back to the stock spring, it is just as easy.

Nick911sc · 08-18-2011, 12:32 PM

I know it's been covered a few times. But what exactly are the benefits? More feel to the clutch travel instead of just a numb clutch in and clutch out without really knowing where the friction point is?

Nick911sc · 08-18-2011, 12:45 PM

Is there a DIY thread anywhere for the spring? Curious to see what has to be done in order to install it.
