Also don't let off the gas when you up shift. We have a "no lift shift" :P haha

No, I dont get off the gas, unless Im at the top of third, in which case itll be jail time.

the only way you can blow up a AT engine is by poor fi install..?

MT you can do a 6th to 2nd at 75mph+ and blow it up mechanically.

why do you gotta ruin it lol

just wanted to scare people. dammit kenchan you ruin everything

I mean if someone tunes their car, raises the rev limiter past the point of 8k rpm, and the oil pump gives, then the engine will go boom....so technically it's possible

Now Im going to pay attention on the way home, you have me second guessing. My Z was a 6 speed but I never really thought about "track" qualities for this car. Interesting. Thanks!!!

the genny can be. newer ones come with 348HP in the V6. little bit skinnier tire set-up but the power and RWD is there.

by friend has a 2009 3.8 track edition genny and wont race me lol he said it's because he knows the result is not in his favor

No, the pre '13 are crap. Z is still faster than the new ones like mine. I was willing to give up a few ticks for the tech and pseudo luxury for an amazing price as a DD in this brutal south Florida traffic.

Yea...the tires, they suck. If I had ANY grip off the line this would take, at least half a second off the 1/4 time, cant wait to throw these out soon.

You think Nissan will cover this scenario under warranty?

yah, that's how it should be. bounce off rev limiter.

imagine drifting and your AT keeps shifting up... lol end up in a ditch.

It will down shift when forced to keep from stalling but at very low RPMs. On a track you must do it manually to attack corners or you will be in the wrong gear almost every turn.

thanks for fielding this one I had a meeting then lunch so I missed seeing him ask his question.

you see that video recently on the 370 FB site of the AT drifting on public roads? aside from it being on public roads....the dude just flicks out the rear end and slides it with ease in the AT.

kenchan · 04-15-2015, 01:11 PM

hey, why bother getting RWD if you dont slide the rear from time to time.

another reason why VDC is stupid.

kenchan · 04-15-2015, 01:13 PM

hey why bother getting FWD if you dont slide the front into a pole from time to time.

Firebase99 · 04-15-2015, 01:17 PM

I have a colleague with IS350 FSPORT, Ill ask.

Firebase99 · 04-15-2015, 01:20 PM

No, he says his FSPORT does it automatically in sport mode too.
