past 40? im pretty sure its past 80 u put o/d on... before that it wont really do anything as far as i know. and if its on the drag strip. you dont really need o/d on neways.

and usually power button on gives a better launch.

Thats interesting with OD on... with it off the engine revs harder and uses the engine to brake. In the manual it says that OD on gives you a burst of speed... however if u trun that OD off going past 40 km/h it slows the car down... maybe better for accelerating but as far as cruising, definately on.

leave o/d on... why?

because if you're on the throttle in first/second then its not going to be engaged anyway.. and when you finish the quarter you want to be able to drop into 4th to cruise back to the pits...

i also leave power off, as it comes on automatically anyway!

On my auto power is limited if the od is off or the shifter is in 1 or 2.

Stick it in D and left foot brake, bring up revs with right foot until it is at the point of moving. Lights change, left foot off brake while right foot goes to floor. Often with auto slightly feathering the throttle at about 3/4 will bring the best power.

Autos can be fun too :huh:

I've had my fastest run with the O/D off, POWER button on

left foot brake hard, gear at D (manual shifting was slower)

load the throttle to the point of moving (the RPM really depends on brakes, tyres, suspension, power, etc etc)

let go of the brake at the lights

Auto is in for paint job, so will soon be on the market as with all my cars except the GTR. Wife wants V35 350GT with 8 speed paddle shift. Mmmmmm more auto coolness :O

which one of ur cars was the auto? the black one?

sif 350GT. 350Z :laugh:

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
