Is this a VDC off fix?

Zensation · 07-18-2013, 09:51 AM

thanks for the replies Im about to reset the ecu now I dont think the air filters have been changed ever so maybe its time for that? the previous owner was an older gentleman that had records of all oil changes and apparently didnt dog the car and all of the miles were highway miles apparently as he had a long commute to work. So i may have a compression test done I am about to change the oil because its was just changed before i bought it with standard 5w 30. I also cleaned the MAF's but the looked like they were in excellent shape and probably didnt need it. Maybe its time for new spark plugs as well...

i can spin first and, chirp second with VDC on, shouldnt have to turn off VDC to do those things, you just cant do them for long with VDC on XD

@OP

Your from auto to manual that's what the really problem is. Auto has 7 gears while manual only have 6. It's all about the gear ratios. Auto will of course feel torquay than manual at lower gears. If you have bicycle experiences you know what I am talking about.

That being said, this 370z manual transmission is so hard to launch fast. That has been brought up here again and again and again and again if you ever do some researches... The most negative 6m driver out there on this forum has claimed he has been smoked by Toyota Camary(or the same class) in many places and weather conditions. (*cough jungleZ cough*

) So beaten by an eclipes is not too bad. LOL. Next time, try not to race with anybody on a public road. But if you have to, rev it to 5k and dump the clutch see if the eclipes can keep up with you or not. But do it at a drag strip.

Lol, hey I would not be surprised if a V6 Camry from 07 to current beat a not so good Z 6spd driver......With a 5.8 to 60 and trapping at right at 101 mph I can see this happening unfortunately to a 6spd Z driver.

kinda off topic.. but can the 370 exceed 155mph? stock? if the gov is removed or whatever? is it illegal?

well its illegal to speed, but not illegal to remove the electronic governor

keep it at the track and stay safe

CSGLEON · 07-19-2013, 01:29 AM

Yes of course.. Being legal.. Does anyone on here own a Z that can go past 155mph on private property or track? Has anyone on here even hit those speeds in their Z? 155mph?

generally its not good to chirp your tires(means you are not shifting right), but it is possible in stock forum
