Hi just asking if any one is interested in some 40th anniversary rims and tires for sale or trade?

Unexpectedfar · 09-22-2012, 01:40 AM

I have a question, didnt want to start another thread so less clutter. Hopefully I can get some help from y'all.

I was driving the Z to work today and whenever I would release from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd gear I feel a "jerk" idk how else to explain it. However when I go from 3rd to 4th...5th..6th nothing just smooth transition. I was wondering if I just suck at MT since I havent driven one in 3 years or its something else.

A. Go to baker and get them to check it out.
B. give it a couple more drives and if problems persists go to baker.
C. Youre being overly sensitive like all new owners.

another thing would be I hear some rattling when im on 3rd gear and I give her gas, not like the regular noise but something that stands out.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I was going to go make a weekend out of it along with other things but as with me I usually dont know until last minute because things keep changing. Still undecided.

I think JTran and one other UpRev tuner in Houston. Why not make the road trip to Austin and have UpRev do it themselves? Also, imo, make sure you're done performance mods as you'll want to tune last.

I don't have any mods on my Nismo I wonder how much I can gain with just the tune? How much do they charge if drive to Austin how can I tell if I already have a tune. Interestingly my car came from Austin and it seems to be really fast.

I took out a Porsche Carrara 4S with ease.

A tune alone will not give you much, wait till you add some other performance upgrades and then do a tune.
The Nismo from factory has a slight bump in HP over the the coupe which comes from a different exhaust & slightly modified tune. Also, Uprev allows multiple tunes so you can tab through them with cruise control. I forget the process but I am sure others can help to see if you have a tune.
