Anyway, yeah I'm new to the forum and to stick, and I just got my beautiful 94 5spd 300zx about a week ago. Its killing me not knowing how to shift her perfectly though
With a lot of reading on the site, I decided to spent a whole night practicing how to get her going on first, which is the hardest thing for me still right now, but when I do have her going, its pretty easy to shift up rather smooth, occasionnally I get a slight bump, but not much. It's that first gear that kills me!! lol. Thats pretty much all I have practice so far, and in this holiday weekend, since there is no school or work on monday, I'm gonna go another straight night, which helped me a lot the first time around.Ohhhh man, only one week with the z and already had a couple emberrassing moments
. The worst one being at a light waiting for the green, when this truck pulls in aside of me, revving, and slightly moving forward at the same time, I'm thinking, no way in hell I'm racing this guy. Light turns green, truck takes off, I step on the clutch, put it in first, let go of the clutch... and stall Ok, it's alright, so I stalled no big deal, turn on the z again and try it again, stall Turn her on again, but this time the light turns yellow
I'm stuck with the red again. Good thing it was pretty late, around 10 pm and there wasn't any cars behind us, just a couple of spectating cars on the crossing street, but non the less it sucked, like i said, first gear kills me!! Eventually I made it home, I just can't wait for the next night I go practice. After I get better, I'm gonna go practice on some hills.
