You can try 99% alcohol, look it up in the pharmacy department, or nail polish remover.

Quick post before I have to get off the computer. Just got to my fiance's house with my Z. beautiful day, but I'm not sure if any of you remember me talking about this problem a few months ago...

I'm sitting waiting at a light, car in neutral. Lights about to change, I clutch in, put in first. Car begins to rev to 5k RPMS without touching gas pedal. Stays there revving. I put my car into neutral release the clutch, still revving... clutch in a few times. Still revving, turn off the car, turn back on(while still in traffic), still revving. Finally after I lift my foot off the break pedal it stops revving. Keep in mind it didn't start till the initial clutch in and then didn't stop until my foot was off the break. My foot was no where near the gas and my mats don't even touch the gas pedal. I have to bring it into nissan to get it checked out.

It's not something that I can recreate as it's happens randomly. It probably won't happen with SRM off(only assuming). but regardless it's not acceptable even if it just happens with SRM on.

That sounds like it should work. Good luck Pint. Sorry to hear about the paint.

-------------------------------------------------------

Nick, Ive never heard of that before. It sucks when you have something intermittent like that because it makes it so hard to troubleshoot.

brucelidat · 05-19-2012, 05:15 PM

hey pint, is what finish is that, satin?

Phew, came right off luckily! Still need to get under and check to see if it ended up on the carbon fiber as well.

Mr. brucelidat, it is a satin black. Here are some pictures with sunlight! Please excuse the dead bugs on the front end, haven't had a chance to clean her up.

Give it a try by driving with the SRM off and see will that happen, if it doesn't happen then probably it's a glitch within the SRM program.

GL!!

Nice! Perfect timing. I was trying to figure out what finish I wanted to and was leaning towards satin. Seeing your picture shave confirmed it for me. Thanks! Looks good!

hi mr.alcheng!

thanks for the linky, i will check it out.

yah, i think for my car i will use a roaster2 for now unless there are others that can auto on/off.

combo.

Have a great day guys, I'll be in the garage if you need me.

sounds good, mr.gale!

when done.

hummm...that is weird indeed. at least you have a MT where you can control the engagement.

i saw a vid of a hyundai that crashed into another car after blowing through 2 traffic signals in downtown korea due to sudden acceleration. hope they recall all the hyundai's before someone dies.

looking good, pint!

nice job with staying up late and getting rid of the overspray.
