umm basically just down shift then accelerate and there is no delay. The only time i notice a delay is in Auto mode on my 7at. if im in manual, i downshift to hit like 4500 rpm's and im out of there.

Also, I haven't read most of this thread so yea.

The trouble is you can't downshift when you're already in 1st gear trying to get away from a light.

It's not an issue of being outside of the torque curve, it's some sort of electronic issue that cuts all throttle after an initial surge. So far we have determined it's not oil temp, ambient temp, or heat soak related. It has to be something within the ECU, perhaps related to VVEL, that is causing it.

Give it time, Econ, you'll notice it soon. Best opportunity for this delay to happen is in stop/go traffic in the middle of August (at least that's been my experience).
NOTE: That's 2 more people without NISMOs that have joined the gas pedal delay convo. I'm geting more and more convinced. My plan is to trade up for the NISMO at a Nissan dealer. If they happen to notice the issue with the car then I'll ask them to fix it themselves under warranty.

I love a good can of worms.
