Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - up-hill starts in stop-go traffic

fritz · 09-28-2010, 11:58 AM

My 370Z was delivered fault-free and perfect.....er...except that hill starts are not easy without abusing the clutch or stalling, especially in stop-go traffic up a mountain.

There's no "throttle lag" in 1st gear.

I'd like a much less sensitive initial throttle movement ..... or, not so good, an electrical switch to set the idle RPM at 1,000 (like happens when the engine's cold and the up-hill starts are then no problem at all).

Any simple solutions out there?

Thanks.
