Really dumb 7AT question, is there a sport mode?

FPenvy

no the GTR does not have a sport mode. it had A and M. that's it. well unless you count the suspension, tranny, and ecu settings but that's basically hard harder and oh shiiiiiiiiit.

D mode in the Z is useless if you want it to react the way you have described. also the ECU learns from your driving so if you typically drive is slow and soft it's not gonna instantly go hard when you ask it to.

drive in D normally and when you hit a canyon road throw that bitch into manual and go to work.

worst case the car probably just needs a driver mod. canyon roads in D mode. I've heard it all now.

I stated that D doesn't work in canyons hence the whole point of this thread, and me asking about an S mode.

And now we're arguing semantics, since the GTR has an R mode and not an S mode

FPenvy

yes that was harder mode as I stated and off is oh shiiiiiiit.

moral of the story and answer to you is throw the Z in manual mode and beat the piss out of it. it works just fine.

Since I am a noob and all. I do have another question (as all of us noobs do)... Infiniti/Nissan don't have a service interval for the 7AT, and it is one of those "lifetime Fills" which usually means replace the transmission by 100k miles.

Is this transmission difficult to service? And what is the recommended "forum bro" service interval.

I tried a search several times and it wasn't very successful.

FPenvy

100k is bullshit. go every 30k that's even what a friend of mine who is the service manager at a Nissan garage said. even at 30k miles the fluid is just toast if you drive that car hard at all.

I just has mine done 2 weeks ago at 46k miles. took it to the Nissan garage which is rare for me but tranny fluid flush and change isn't really something to do at home unless you have a lift and the specialized tools to pup the fluid out then back in. almost like a full brake fluid flush/change. the money it costs to have Nissan do it is much less than the cost of tools to do it at home.

Oh so nissan offers a transmission fluid swap? I read a lot of threads that stated the dealers were clueless when someone requested those... and claimed it was a "lifetime fill".

Also how much do they want for this?

FPenvy

I called 3 dealerships and the first one said they've never worked on a 370 so I hung up, second never did a tranny fluid swap, and the 3rd I gave up and just called my guy at the Nissan garage that's a bit out of the way BUT I found out he's done it many times there so that was a homerun. didn't take long either. think it was just over an hour which was fine gave me and the fiancée time to go test the new murano for her.

think it was $170.
