Some of these posts are laughable. Or ludicrous. So you're telling him to spend a couple thousand dollars to mod his car.....to overcome an issue, yet has nothing to do with his problem?? How about a solution relating to it? Or information? Yeah that's an idea. These boards get some crazy replies sometimes. It's either someone passing along a "fact" they heard or recommending someone replace multiple parts. Yeah sure it's not my money go ahead, why not? Don't forget to upgrade the rear end too.
More mods isn't going to help a software issue below 3k rpm.

With all due respect to those who are trying to help with the problem, 'funkdoobiest' makes a great point. I wish I had a dollar for every miss-placed online performance recommendation. I've been modifying cars, motorcycles and ATVs for long time. Some of the online advise that I have used has resulted in no difference, more problems or in a blown engine and lots of money down the drain. Some has been very valuable! Online forums are often times basically just opinion boards so the reader beware. They DO provide a valuable asset for those looking for answers but owners must give careful consideration on online advise. There are lot of variables but like every other car 370z's have certain traits.
I too have a hesitation on my stock 2014 Z auto with a Stillen cat back and it's really getting under my skin. It really sucks when you plan to (safely) dart out into traffic (like all Z drivers yearn to do from time to time) from a dead stop depressing the throttle about 25% to 50% and you are waiting a second or so for the engine to rev...... it feels like the engine is going to die in traffic. Is this hesitation simply a 370z thing or is there really a fix for it? I read in Car and Driver review of the 2015 that this is a problem with the automatics. My Z did not seem to do it before 5000 miles, but then again it could be just me as I get into the throttle more than when it was new. I try to stay away from the insidious gasohol. It's easy to say that one needs to do this and do that to fix it, I fear that the people who really know what the issue may be could too too busy to for input. It seems to me to be a programming issue for emissions, maybe restricted intake flow? I have a liter bike that used to do the same until I bumped the idle up a few hundred rpm and it went away, the fuel flow was too lean and the throttle body was closed too much at idle to respond to a rapid change in throttle. Maybe dirty throttle bodies? Just throwing thoughts out there. |
