the pedals are very very close. maybe its different in a G though

Well, I put on my stock 18s Wednesday night...the only problem is the stock from camber was so bad that there is barely any tread left on the inside front tires. Looks like I will need new tires for the track day

I will sell anyone my stock wheels w/ track tires on them for $800. It may seem like alot, but these wheels are the stock 18" and look like new. And the tires only have 3000 miles on them and are the Falken 615's. If you want an extra set of track tires and wheels, look at these. I liked my Cups last week so well, that I can use them AutoXing too. So I don't need these other wheels and tires anymore. And I can now bring them to the track since I won't be bringing any race fuel with me. That means you can see them before you buy them and won't have to pay for shipping.
$800 is a firm price, so take it or leave it.
Also, these are NOT street tires, these are track tires. They have been chemically altered to punch the same numbers as my cups. They will stick to the track, but expect (just like R-Compound) to have rubber flying off them. Hell, you will see rubber flying off your street tires if you use them that day - pretty cool! Expect to have rubber stuck to everything on you car! (And I am not kidding.)

Ok guys, I tried for over an hour to practice my heal-toe. I can't make it work with these pedals. So I started a search on a Z forum and it seems that many others have the same problem - along with G's. They have all installed these and have give rave reviews, so I order some for myself. The price is a bit much, but if you think about saving your transmission and clutch it will be worth ever penny. Here is the link:

I seem to be pretty flexible in the ankles because I do not have any issues with heel toe in the 350z just need more practice with rev matching.I use the side of my foot to push the gas not my heel.
