it's true that rev limiter will shut off car? nismo version too?
 

Hey

Just been told if I keep the revs up drifting constantly the motor will shut off.

Is this true?

does it apply to the Nismo version as well?

how much are they going to limit the 370z? ridiculous.

Thanks

BULLSHÏT.

/thread


Who said that by the way? If it was the sales guy, laugh in his face and bet him a couple thousand dollars. If it was a service guy, RUN.

My friend who has a Z and has drifted it several times in the track

Motor wont shut off but if you dont have an oil cooler you will definitely hit limp mod

I've haven't read anything about the engine shutting down on high revs - but maybe I missed it. If it does, it should say so in the OM or FSM.

yeah. A guy here was selling a fast intentions oil USED cooler but he wanted $500 and it costs like $540 new.

I offered $400 and he wasn't sure. >_>

Anyways. I'll have to take it easy on the track.
Freaking Nissan messing up like this. Unbelievable.

What did you think people were going to do with a sports car? use it for grocery shopping? dafaq

Yeah there's nothing like this, but then again, this doesnt seem like a standard thing. It seems like an error from the company.
its a pretty stupid thing to make a sports car do.

Maybe it was fuel cut from going side ways. How full was his fuel?

He says he doesn't let it go below 25% filled

Too low. 50% or higher.

This is ******* stupid. Whats wrong with nissan engineers?
it's a ******* sports car. this is depressing.

There is a fix for that.

im all ears :d

It's not a track car. Nissan didn't engineer it to be one. It can be made track ready fairly easy.

Please share with us.
Thanks

You have an awful lot of hatred towards Nissan and the Z. 85% of what you've posted in this thread is just bashing the car and company. Why don't you do your Z (and us) a favor and sell it to someone who will actually appreciate it? :gtfo2:

Which doesn't leave much room for brains, apparently. Search, padawan. Search.

He just did.

It probably goes to limp mode to protect itself. Stop whining and just set up your car to what you want for do. And if you ask to share one more time I will consider you a communist. Lots of info on track set up here.

Nope

Yep. Typing required. Try google searching with the string "site:the370z.com track setup" or "site:the370z.com" followed by your key words of choice.

The only thing I am sore about is the melting dash issue,everything else is bad to the bone!

I honestly get scared when I go over 5000rpm...... Freaking NASCAR!!!!!

Sorry man, I thought you were saying no to availability of any track setup info. You meant no to OP question. My bad :tiphat:

Bruh... the fun just begins at 5000!!!

The nannies will not let you over-rev the engine (unless you jam it into too low a gear, but, as you have seen, RevMatch will warn you) - the car has strong survival instincts.

But, yeah, I would get a little nervous above 6500 or so when I had my Z. You get over it. :driving:

If you are making a hard right hand turn, the car may shut off because of fuel starve. If drifting a left hand turn. You could get fuel starve. The fix is CJM's roadrace pump kit. All Z's are the same on this.

If you are running up against the rev limiter. The rev limiter will cut power. Like ALL other cars. The stock setting on the Z is 7,800 rpms. Don't expect the engine to live long there. The oil pump gears will fail at some point.

If you still have the VDC on. It WILL cut power when it senses slip, and apply a rear brake caliper through the ABS to straighten the car up. With it off, it will still be some what active. You have to wire a switch in the power wire to the yaw sensor. Nothing ridiculous. This is a street car, not a track car to begin with.

Rev-Match will not help you if you catch a down shift earlier than planned. :facepalm: Nothing like seeing 8,500+ on the tach. :eek: The car won't survive stupid. :rolleyes:

Your dash is melting?
I've not seen that issue before

Well.......he lives about 2 blocks from the sun. :rofl2:

Skip to 3:20 and listen to the difference in the exhaust note before and after a "money" shift. :nutswinger:

BTW, has anyone else noticed that the OP hasn't showed back up at all? I wonder why... LOL

Yea.....it sounded kind of flat.....:driving: :eek: :icon17:

He hasn't been on since 11/20.

OPs question reminded me of something that happened to me. A couple of times (once my brother, once me driving his car) we forgot to turn off the traction control.
His BP turbo creates enough power (as would any other turbo'd zi assume) to overcome the factory traction control, at least until the car enabled limp mode, and left the car powerless. Not an issue now with the ecutek tune, but it was scary as hell. Immediate thought is "the motor just "·$% the bed!"
