Inspection Team ETA: 1 Hour

indeed it will, ms. pint. :tup:



sounds good that you're on the path to recovery, mr. alcheng. :tup:
hope the MRI shows what's wrong or remove all worries. :)


happy b-day DLSTR! :tup: enjoy your day. :D

LOL!!! :bowrofl:


:p yep, cant deny some folks are just plain damn rude.


thanks, mr. gale. yah, i found info on that module at the twm site a while back when shopping for my biggy type-r knob. :)




my box with HU arrived, but wife sent me pict of the outer carton and it appears it was dragged under the ups truck, used as a football, then as a bar stool, then as a step ladder, before arriving my house. :wtf:

i will need to check the contents to see if i need to return it for an exchange... :ugh2:

LOL@ "dude, u on crack?" :bowrofl:

:eek: O NO I hate getting damaged shipments. Come on now really, I am sorry if there is any Shipping & Receiving guys on here but lets get our sh!t together people pay for your services so do them right or f*ck off! (sorry I to have had damaged shipments, one time with a non returnable part :shakes head:)

anyway hop the HU is ok :ugh2:

Way back in the day, I used to work holidays at USPS..and you wouldn't believe how rough priority packages were treated. The boxes were literally thrown into large bins from the conveyor belt, so they could be jammed onto another truck.. :shakes head:

I think with the pedal box, you'll trade initial pedal delay for maximum pedal earlier in the pedal stroke. For example, maximum output when the pedal is depressed 50%. I would have to do more reading/research to verify that.

Is that a scenario you would be satisfied with?

:hello: jason, how's the weather your way? snow melting today? I think a lot of ours will be gone this week, we are supposed to be getting warm days for the next few :tup:


I always get anxious in march and april as the weather gets nicer for the most part! Hopefully we don't see any more snow, but I doubt that will happen..........

Was warmer today. The snow is melting, but not fast enough. I had the Z on the road March 18th last year, I don't think I'll be as lucky this year. :ugh2:

yah, i will find out if there's any external damage later on. :shakes head: i will also be testing the unit while i install it into my Z so im not too worried. worst case i will just do an exchange and drive my G that weekend. :icon17:


yah, when i received my big roll of dinoc in a usps shipping tube, it looked like the mail folks went to town playing darth vader vs luke with it. :shakes head:

it was a 4ft x 4ft sheet with about 50% wrinkled. i noted the vendor asking if they could at least give me like a 2ftx 4ft section, but they immediately sent me a full replacement. :tup:

thanks, mr.gale. :tup: i have a feeling this is not going to help in the latency issue we have with the throttle. why i say this is becuase with my music gear, latency is a problem when playing heavy software instruments like piano's off my MBP.

say for instance a particular sample buffer setting has a latency of 8ms. changing the velocity parameter (example: soft keystroke to trigger larger sound output) does NOT help compensate the latency problem while playing. the sound still plays late.. just louder.

yah, i really want a goooooood down pour before i pull out my Z. im hoping i can pull out my Z next weekend, but confidence is still kinda low.

thanks to mr.gale, wat to do with $300 i just saved. :icon17:

Sushi and Sake?

Mr.kenchan... I hope the HU inside is ok.. it's sucks the way how the courier company treats the package but I was "wow" by the quick delivery, I thought you just ordered it yesterday, right? :tup:

Usually the retailer will fill the whole big box with tons of foam and bubble wraps and stuffs like that, I am pretty sure the HU is in good shape... :tup:

:tup: to warm weather! I doubt the Z will be out then either. Well i guess you could drive it but it's better to wait IMO.

At least you have your G to drive:tup:

:iagree: best to wait for a good down pour

Mr. Ken-San - Are you trying to get rid of that god-awful lurch in 1st that we experience off the line? I heard that an Uprev tune will take care of that.

Thoughts? Comments?

I went to the pedalbox website again and read more about the product... saw one of the chart they post and I have an idea on how does it work but I am not sure is it necessary for a street car.





Basically it's a module that allow the driver to adjust what's called... the "Throttle-Curve"

It alters the values between the actual-throttle-position and the ECU-throttle-position.

Therefore, when the gas pedal is 50% depress and ECU might thought it's at 60% or 70%.

By reading its diagram, the adjustment is most effective through the mid-range.

I am not sure how much it can improve/correct the problem that Mr.kenchan is experience since he is complaining the initial throttle-response.

Which...the pedalbox has the minimum effect on that position.

My opinion, this module is more suitable for track use since the driver can:


1) Adjust the throttle-response according to different track lay-out.

2) weather condition (dry/high traction surface more responsive vs wet/low traction less responsive)



On top of that, I am wondering the adjustment will lose its "effectiveness", not from the device itself, but the driver itself will get used to responsiveness of the throttle.


alcheng's conclusion: Save the $499.
