I'm seeing more and more plastidipped modded 370s and it makes me truly sad. Same ones are also drift kings in the parking lots and streets.

Nothing beats the old Nissan Altima 2 door running around town with a massive wing on the rear end, fake hood scoop, knockoff volks, fake fender air things, those plastic bbk caliper covers, and racing stripes.

Try easing into the throttle at 1500 RPMs. Once you get that smooth, quick launch right around the engagement point, that should help give you a better feel for what's needed to launch at 2500 RPMs, which is a pretty ideal spot for mostly stock Z's. You can get a perfectly smooth, quick launch at 4K and 5K RPMs all day long - you just wear out the clutch plate a lot more from feathering longer and at higher RPMs. And clutch dumps aren't good for much either unless you just like wasting money on tires and clutch wear.

I have been trying to feather at around 3k when I do it manually, but I just suck in general. It'll take a few more track days to properly get it down. LC just makes cool sounds, so I had been messing around with that. I'll lower the rpm drastically next time I attempt it and attempt to not clutch dump.

Yup. Absolutely love it. Way smoother throughout every gear. It's just a matter of practice at this point. DD capabilities are as smooth as they've ever been.

You can try the launch control at the same rpm and turn the tc about 25%. Maybe a little more and it should be pretty good there at least it was pretty dang spot on when Seb did it in my car and that was with boost!

I'll give that a shot next time! I haven't even messed with TC much yet. Still hesitant of letting loose in an open parking lot with 0% TC due to the cops around the area. It'll be another month before I get another track day in.

That's the one mod "regret" I have. If I did it over again it would've been one of the first things I do. |

It's something that you sorta just can't fully comprehend until experiencing the difference. I read the reviews from people and always knew it would be good. But the change really was drastic.
