does it do that in the tip tron mode?

Err whats tip tron mode?

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

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.

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?

FPenvy

also to the OP idk if it was mentioned but to this asian's post the AT/ECU somewhat "learns from the way you drive. if you're always in D and drive normal/slow it'll sorta lean to that style of shifting and when you go WOT it's gonna hesitate and oddly shift.

How long does it take to learn? Like since I babied it during break in will it do this. Should I reset it?

FPenvy

i never unhooked the battery to do a reset that way aside from when i nstalled the exhaust.

after my break in i just started driving hard and i only use manual mode. i think i've used auto mode maybe 50 miles total of my now 50k on the clock.

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.

It's not so much learning as making adjustments for current driving style.

Not sure how long it takes to switch to "cruising mode" but if you put the xmission in manual mode and hit the gas hard, it will go into "aggressive mode" almost immediately.

There may a description of how it works in the FSM.

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... /:
