Is this normal?

KrnAndy

hmm i've had autos, but i noticed if it's from a stop then it's fine, but when you're rolling it's just the lagg time for it to figure out that you're flooring it and it needs to down shift, rather than stay at a higher gear to for cruising

I notice that in D, it feels there is less power even from a stand still.

there's only 1 D in my car...

does it do that in the tip tron mode?

shadow85

Err whats tip tron mode?

SouthArk370Z

Manual mode


The engine and transmission act differently depending on how you have been driving and what mode the transmission is in. I suspect what you are seeing/feeling/hearing is the car switching from "cruising mode" to "aggressive mode." YMMV

tip tronic? I dunno what you auto guys call it. paddle mode? want-to-be-manual-but-no-really-mode?




@SS_Firehawk - I've read about cars de-tuning themselves when people drive like they own a prius.

OP just pull your battery for an hour to factory reset it. turn back on your car let it idle a minute or two then go on the road and WOT and do a few good pulls?

Lol @ the innuendos. You know, you can just hit the paddles and it will go into manual mode, you don't need to put it in "S" It will even revert back to auto mode after flogging it. It's good for the occasional @ss hauling and then back to a normal citizen. At least my Wife's Maxima SV Sport model has it, I would assume the auto Z's do too.

I'm running a 7AT and I don't experience this! I do feel a little more power in manual, wether from a stop or as I'm driving, but there never any lag. As soon as I floor it, my Z takes off! Even in auto mode. That sounds like it could be a problem!

its not a problem. just if you drive softer then the ECU will react the same when you finally give it the beans.

So you have to ALWAYS drive it hard if you want it to respond aggressively when you floor it? That kinda sucks... I mean, I have about 10K on mine, and I'd say I cruise it much more often than not, but on particular days, (usually after watching Fast and Furious or playing Need For Speed) I love to drive it hard and it ALWAYS responds accordingly. I'd hate to have to train my ECU to always be on the edge... /:

no you dont have to always drive it hard lol geez that would result in so many tickets lol

i DD mine so typically the top speed i hit going to and from work is 60ish on 2 stretches. i dont even use highways for my commute.

but there's times where i lay into it and shift at high rpm and launches etc.

also i have some nice curvy backroads where i live so i hit those in a "spirited" fashion lol

When you start driving hard, the car recognizes this and switches mode. You don't have to drive hard all the time. Shortly after you start driving "normally", the car switches back.
