My New PW Z! :D
 

Hi all. I'm in NOVA area and I picked up my Z (pearl white/base+sport/6M) two two days ago. This is my first manual and I keep stalling out :eekdance:, but I think Im getting better as I practice more and more. Anyways, see you on the road :]

Very nice! Just use a soft foot on the clutch and you'll be fine..


Welcome!

nice...good luck with your manual progress find some hills or ramps and stop then take off. get that down and your basically set

Just RELAX I had to teach myself stick with asking people like when I grinded why I was! But take it easy relax, always on hills if someones coming behind you roll back just a bit so they are knowingly aware that you're driving a manual :)

Congrats and welcome. You'll get used to the clutch in no time. The 1 to 2 shift is the toughest to get used to, but shift slow if you are going slow and it'll feel much smoother.

Nice tips ! Thanks all!

Beautiful Z! She looks so good in white!

As for learning manual, best of luck to you. I've been driving them since I learned to drive, and I'm a 3-pedal addict. You may end up replacing a clutch, but in the long term, I think it's worth it. Just be patient.

Most importantly, congrats on the new car and welcome to Z ownership!!!

*drools* best color :D

Congrats and welcome. Hopefully you have some back roads to practice on.

Congratulation and welcome! Just practice, practice, practice getting used to starting in first and getting the shift right into second. Big parking lots are your friend! Also, come on out and get together with the Mid-Atlantic 370Z group meet that takes place each Saturday in Fairfax, VA at the Fair Lakes Starbucks at 10:00AM!

Grats! :driving:

i hate it when people try to stick too close.. driving in Los Angeles traffic everyday, you get used to it.. but, when i'm stuck on a hill, i do what he just said and they'll keep their distance..

oh yea.. CONGRATS!!!

Welcome!
