7AT rev limiter
In my last thread ICY? We debated whether the 7at rev limit settings were a placebo red light indicator setting or a true rev-limiter. Initially I set the rev limit to 7200rpm just so I don't hit the red. (I do it slightly too often) when someone stated its just for the light and doesn't work on the auto.
For some odd reason people have argued this fact and no one has just actually set it and tried... so I decided to take the initiative about 45min ago. I set the limiter to 4800rpm and went into manual mode. Well I began getting a lot of resistance right under 48, the began screaming at 4800 and the rpms couldn't pass 5000: so AT guys. Unknown made it official that the 2011+ 370z-7 has a bonifide true rev-limiter. And don't let 6m haters tell you otherwise... speaking of hate. I stopped at the stop sign n since I had no one behind me I set the limiter. The stop was an allway stop and I heard tthe screaming of a supercharger coming at me but didn't see anything. At that point I was done setting the RL when I heard this. I began to move and decided to wait and even though I had the right of way I decided to stop again. Suddenly the car appears and its a GT500 mustang blowing by me and both driver and passenger pointed there middle fingers at me while they ran the all way stop. The idiots are so stupid cuz they did that to me, slowed down and went in there house garage. I know where they live. If I was another guy they'd be fked. |

But... were you driving when you say it was limited? Because if I am in neutral and hit the gas, it limits it to 5000-5500 or so. If i'm in gear, it limits at 7500.

To test it I drove in manual mode and it would not pass. It would bounce around between 4700 and 5000rpm. I did it in drive. It just smoothly changed gears at 4800rpm with aggressive throttle. Last edited by UNKNOWN_370; 03-12-2012 at 11:38 PM. |

If I'm not mistaken? The 6m has always worked like that since 09? Correct me if I'm wrong 6mt guys, but 6's have real rev-limiters.
