watch best motoring videos on youtube and you will see how the race car drivers are setting up for the turn. they have camera shots of tach and feet (and audio) so it should give you an idea wat you should be doing.

if you have SRM, it's very easy to do, obviously, but even if you dont it's not too difficult to rev-match while braking if you practice. GL.

No, you downshift to the correct gear for the speed you will take the turn at before you get to the turn... But not too far before the turn.

But never double-clutch. That's for pre-1940's trucks. :tiphat:

Why does my z stall when I come to a stop. I have to keep pressing the clutch and starting the car at every red light.

:roflpuke2:

You would think for $40,000 they would keep the car from stalling like that, right? :confused:

If you're letting the clutch out after you've already turned (or through the turn), it helps to blip the throttle slightly to get the rpm near where they should be. Otherwise being in the correct gear before the turn is a good idea too.

Teach yourself heal-toe so that you can blip the throttle while braking and downshifting. It will go into 3rd easily, probably no need for 2nd unless the corner is tight or you're really looking to rocket through.

How are you guys heal toeing with our car. All the videos i have seen have a different gas pedal set up. I am only 19, first manual car, so trying to learn everything the right way so its not difficult to break a bad habbit

If you guys dont want to help us out dont bother posting anything. Trying to learn the best way to shift a manual car, most 19 year olds these days dont even know what a manual car is. Just looking for help to be a better driver.

The easiest way in this car and most modern cars: brake with your foot mostly on the right hand side of the brake pedal, then while still applying pressure to the brakes, roll the ankle so the side of your foot blips the throttle as you down shift.

The hard part is 2 things (that will take lots of practice), keeping the brake pressure even, and getting the correct target RPM. The latter isn't critical, but the closer you are the smoother it will be. Also your clutch action will be much faster, you can essentially treat the clutch as an on-off switch.

Practice by coming down sequentially through the gears while braking from moderate speed, and once you've mastered that you can try skipping gears.

You can also practice your throttle modulation by downshifting while travelling at constant speed, e.g. cruise along at 55-60 and do a blip downshift from 5th to 4th and from 4th to 3rd. Once you get it right it should feel completely smooth and seamless.

^^ wat chris said. for these organ pedals (hinged at bottom) just roll your right foot while braking and blip.

i do the same on my G which has standard pedals (hinged at top) but since she's my dd i dont need to apply so much braking when i blip. unless i need to mash the brake do i actually swing my heel around to do heel and toe.

I did post several replies with good info in them. :hello:

To your question. This is the answer. Practice makes perfect.

also what does S stand for if not the sports package (you have touring)? 09 Nissan 370z S M6

good observation and question indeed!

what does that "S" stand for?

I think the S stands for S-tune body kit. By looking at his picks he has a base, so no S-mode.
