The other times I was going in a straight line, I feel like sometimes I take the clutch off too fast like not slowly, I just take my foot off really fast, Could that be the problem?

YES... Are you also keeping the gas pedal to the floor?

The thing I didnt mention is that the back wheels swerve! I dont like it. I know i must be doing something wrong, unless is the car.

Not to the floor, but I can see myself accelerating while taking the clutch out really fast.

What could I be doing wrong?

Why was your car in the shop?

You should be in the proper gear before the turn. As for the straight line, I usually let out the clutch gently when shift from 1st to 2nd. But then again, people will call you granny tho.

Brother, slow it down until you get the hang of it, and since the clutch pedal has NO FEEL, you need to take it even slower

The pedals need to "work against each other" if that makes any sense, one goes in the other comes out, usually at the same rate
Again the pedal has NO FEEL, so you need to really get a sense and KNOW where the clutch engages

Yea, sometimes I dont even think about anything else other than shifting and going faster. Especially because its my first car, and its a 370Z and Im just too exited on the road. Im gonna have to pay more attention to the details of how I shift, Accelerate and see what I can improve on.

Lol, if you really need to go that fast, upgrade the tires, upgrade the clutch, upgrade the CSC while you're at it, and get a REAL LSD, and dump that bítch every time

When boost kicks in the yellow VDC light starts flashing. Am I doing something wrong?

Glad you're having fun! Just avoid the money shift.

In the last month I had the CSC replace and the steering lock fuse, it all cost me around $1800 dollars, I don't have money right now to upgrade the car.

LOL Thanks Nissan
