Sharing a bad experience with my 370Z

chuckd05

This story just doesnt make sense... which if its true really doesnt anyway... but nothing from these pictures proves that what he said happened really did... I didnt really read this, i dont know how old the OP is but he could of just hit it around a turn and spun in a circle and caused the damage shown... And out of the momment decided to use this as an excuse to make himself feel better.. my apologies if thats not the case but it's just how I feel about this.

Im hard pressed to believe what was said to happened, happened.. but im in for updates

I see. So only in neutral with foot off the clutch will it limit. Darn.

Since the car wasn't moved after the crash I assume Nissan will be able to tap into the EDR and see exactly what happened.

It will be interesting to see what the black box has to say.....

the-truth

If what the original poster says is true, the updates may be a long time coming. I can only imagine the level of investigation Nissan will want to do due to a claim such as this.

Brake pedal is supposed to kill the throttle, at least it does under normal circumstances. I guess the only way this could happen would be for the ECU to lose its mind. But obviously it was a case of temporary insanity if you were able to drive it to the dealer afterwards.

Sure your foot didn't slip off the brake onto the gas when you clipped the curb? I know they feel totally different but I've been known to fat foot it before where you are actually pressing the brake pedal and the accelerator at the same time.

the-truth

I am not certain I follow the logic of your question. If the ECU is supposed to override the throttle when or if the brake is depressed, how could pushing the brake pedal and accelerator at the same instant cause what happened to the origina poster? Would not this be the "lost mind" ECU scenario you were obviously being facetious about?

is this your first rwd car? sounds more like it fishtailed and you lost control and hit the curb. sorry if i sound like an ***

Its second nature for sure. All long term manual drivers are programmed to do this. My hand is always on the shifter until I reach around 3rd gear. So If this was me at that speed I would already be in the position to throw it in neutral and let the car scream. Theres two types of people in the world. The prepared and the "OH ****, what do I do" type.

Yesterday I have the first experience of the car RPM getting stock in 4K RPM after downshifting and slowing down for about 50MPH. It did it for more time than the actual SRM do it when downshifting.

Mine got stuck in the 2500 RPM range after down shifting about 2 months ago with the 7AT. I was breaking so I took my foot off the brake and pressed the gas to jump the RPMs a little bit and that seemed to correct the issue. It was rather strange though.

but

piece of mind that my car wont go revving on its own.... priceless
