Questions About My Z

EndyKwon · 10-01-2012, 01:27 AM

To answer your first question, you can go look at my failed thread that I created. "Hurr durr torque steer". Its probably and most likely road conditions. I wouldn't be surprised if a corvette smoked me in straight line speeds.

I always wanted to say that the gearing on 1st gea-
I don't know how to word it. I've been having trouble figuring it out. But, what I'm trying to say is that I just remedy the problem by easing my foot down on the pedal instead of just stomping on the damned thing. Its the gearing, I feel that 1st and 2nd gear doesn't last too long and before I know it, I'm already at 3rd gear going 80MPH.

Rolling in 2nd gear if I put my foot into it when I hit around 4-5k rpm the back end will go sideways. In first gear rolling it happens around 3-4k rpm. Trying to launch the car with any pre-load on the engine and forget it. This has been the case with my 2010 NISMO since day one. I waiting to see if new tires will change this but if not I may be looking else where for my next car sooner than expected. It sucks not being able to even take off semi aggresively without the back end just coming out. This is with VDC off. With VDC on I basically go no where for several seconds as it cuts power. My only other thought was that my differential fluid needs to be switched, maybe contaminated from factory or something. Not letting the LSD work properly. I mean, it's almost as if my car doesn't even have an LSD>
