Clutch pedal too soft/no feel? Remove the helper spring!

I just finished dialing in my alignment specs. I highly recommend anyone who drives their Z through the twisties dial out the toe-in recommend by Nissan. It really wakes the car up to run no toe-in, and even more so if you run toe out.

Im not sure zero toe is a good idea for the rear... hip wobble.

Thanks onzedge!

G2Z- yah mine was literally seized tight.

so far im loving the new knob.
I wont be able to take a spin until next weekend though... letting my driveway cure.

What exact knob is that? I think I want to be a copy-cat.

Oh ok, front only is

Thanks. Knob feels great so far.

Red__Zed · 05-14-2011, 08:21 AM

Haha, zero toe out back would be interesting. I'm running .13 (factory spec) out back. I had been running positive toe up front, but I'm worried about 500 miles of highway driving like that.

Is the knob any heavier than stock?

Yah .13 sounds good on the rear each side.

so u gettig the Ti knob too? Its awesome.

FromG2Z · 05-14-2011, 09:05 AM

Definitely get the Ti knob, onzedge and Red.... You won't regret it. I think the Ti knob is about the same weight as the OEM? What you think, Ken?

Only thing is, I guess my strap wrench DIY doesn't work 100% of the time eh? It all depends on the degree to which the stock knob is loctited on there. So Ken, was your stock knob all fubarred then???

kenchan · 05-14-2011, 09:56 AM

Yah, agreed, the Ti knob weights about stock.

yah, no worries about the strap wrench. Its someting worth a try to salvage the stock knob, but if the wrench breaks be ready to tear it up.

Did one side of xpel on the rocker. After a break will do the other side.

There's a faint line about 4" up.
