Gas Pedal Delay

wstar · 12-06-2012, 10:08 AM

As stated earlier, the easy fix is: don't go below 3K, or really more like 3500. If you're racing just keep the car in the right gear and there's no need to be that low. If you're just making a pass on the highway or something, surely you can see it coming and downshift earlier. This whole issue is really about drag racers (and even then you can avoid this at the strip with proper launch and shifts, so it's really just about street drag racers from a roll or whatever).

I totally agree with Mikey this is Nissans problem to fix!! Start a poll an see just how many people are having this issue. This is a serious flaw.

This issue goes beyond drag racers. I almost got tboned because the engine decided to bog when turning across a few lanes of traffic.

Most of the time it isn't that bad, but it is a serious problem.

Almost happened to me a year ago. I pulled out to make a left as this car was approaching. It's just a big blind spot with cars parked on the side. I floored it in the middle of a turn and the car just slowly hovered at low revs in 1st.

EXACTLY. Nothing more disconcerting than to press the accelerator and...NOTHING for 2-3 seconds.
