Revving to 4K RPM is a great way to drive, espesially since the OP is in Kuwait and gas must be cheap.

You should install that spring. 10 minutes tops. (If you are mechanically inclined

). Made a big dif to me.

Don't press the clutch pedal all the way down, only use the top 50% of it, I too had been driving manual cars for a million years and could not get used to the Z, I now think it is one of the best clutch feels ever. Once you do that, it is absolutely effortless

Sounds like you made a mistake and should've bought a G37 if the Z isn't doing it for you already.

Akurei · 11-14-2014, 10:23 AM

When you are trying to fast shift, especially in low gears normal driving, you are rocking your motor mounts and transmission mounts. What you are feeling is, your whole engine and transmission rocking, ever heard the engines exhaust as you do it? It makes the baaa baa baaaaaa, like somewhat of a rocking sound.

That is a good way to replace new motor mounts with new motor mounts

. 1st through 3rd gear are very shorts gears, torquey. Whatever you want to call it. Smooth shifts, wait for rpms to go down before shifting or buy racing mounts

edub370 · 11-14-2014, 10:59 AM

^^ motor mounts have nothing to do with this. o well. OP is gone anways.

end thread/

^ yeah he went and traded his Z for a honda civic because the Z community are all bunch of jerks. Lol

Hey edub370 cant help but notice your Z had 326whp and 260 plus torque?
Thats a good number for a bolt on modification.

Who tuned your Z?

edub370 · 11-14-2014, 11:20 AM

Modified by kansas city up here in KC. i kinda wanted to put on headers and the z1 mani and go for the all out bolt on hp record (only 16hp shy IIRC), but i just cant justify the money with the limited returns.

Zoren 370 · 11-14-2014, 11:23 AM

You used uprev?

My friend could only get 303whp with full bolts on.

Anyway. This thread is over and done I guess we can talk other stuff before the lock. Lol

Akurei · 11-14-2014, 11:28 AM

Well he said 1 2 3 shifts are clunky, and then he said he tries to fast shift in regular daily driving. So I put two and two together, and that is the most likely culprit. /end thread

Well, I've seen crazier things than resurrecting a dead horse.
