Gas Pedal Delay

tjlazer · 09-28-2012, 11:27 AM

I found a fix!

I drop the clutch at ~3,000 RPMs every time now. No gas pedal delay!

You pretty much put a nail in the coffin... just get past the annoying throttle limiting threshold. I end up burning the tires while making a left turn, but at least the car gets moving quick. Oh, and boost didn't kick in yet either since I let off the throttle a bit while making the turn. For some reason it puts the throttle response in the "go fast" mode, but launching at lower revs put it in "grandma" mode (no offense to the elder owners).

So what does Hypertech mean when they remove the 0-60 restriction?

I had a Hypertech programmer before I went FI and noticed a huge difference in throttle response.

Is it their own tuning of torque management or something more simple?

It could depend on what kind of fuel you put in your car? Do you fill up with 89% octane (regular) or 93% octane (premium). I usually can tell the big difference. I just usually stick to premium gasoline only.

Usually should be always. This car should only drink premium fuel. I'm pretty sure the Owners/Service manuals state that as well.

Torque Management... that's what I think I'm feeling. It was discussed before, but it's very annoying. Must get rid of this TM so I can induce whiplash. So far it's probably the throttle table mods wstar defined.

Has anyone tried the Apexi throttle controller?

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.
