Acceleration Off The Line

Hi guys,

I own an 06 auto skyline.

I was wondering if you guys have the same problem.

When I step on the accelerator from a stopped position I feel that the power delivered to my rear wheels aren't always the same...

Sometimes I feel a split second lag... sometimes it is much more responsive...

I've noticed that it launches more consistently when I'm in drive, with VDC switched off. Whereas on a GOOD day the semi auto's 1st gear launches alot harder... On a BAD day however, the semi auto launch isn't as good...

To be more precise, sometimes I can hear my tyres screeching (Good day) and I feel more stronger pull. But this isn't the case all the time...

my 0-100km/h ranges from roughly 5.9 - 6.9 (stop watch times not precise) depending on how well the launch is...

usually in drive, I've been averaging around 6.2 I think...

Do any of you guys have the same problem? i.e. through mods? ECU?

if so, is there a way to fix this problem?

p.s. I have no mods, it's stock.

your reply would be appreciated ;)

So many factors. It could be down to road temperature, road surface, air temperature. Try to test it on the same piece of road in the same conditions and see if you still get varying results.. Also a/c on/off might contribute..

Looks like you are after performance mods. ;)

1. Cat-back exhaust

2. Pod-filter or K&N panel filer

3. Motordyne plenum spacers

4. Grounding kit

5. Light wieight rims with semi-slick tires

6. Aftermarket suspension (Lowered)

7. Aftermarket brakes

These should see you get extra 10-20rwkw.

If not satisfied, turbocharge or supercharge is the go. :)

Thanks for your reply ~

what does the grounding kit do?

and what are these?

2. Pod-filter or K&N panel filer

3. Motordyne plenum spacers

sorry, i'm a noob on the mechanical side of the car

Air temperature is a new one !

on the same road it is little bit better.

I was referring to the actual power to my rear wheels, cos if I still get the same power I would be getting wheel spins if i lack grip right?

Hi mate,

1. Installing a grounding kit claims for HP increases and "smoother shifting".

2. Aftermarket pod filters are said to improve performance and fuel consumption, It also sound real grunty under the hood and gain a little power from NA engine.

Pod filters are illegal unless installed properly with heat shield.

K&N panel filter replaces the stock panel filter and it just helps more clean air for engine to breathe. It doesn't make much grunt or gain power as pod filter.

3. Basically, aftermarket plenum spacers (Brand : Motordyne) either increase the overall height of the stock plenum or remove the downward slope design of stock plenum, allowing more volume and greater airflow to all cylinders. Higher airflow is needed to achieve more power.

Hope these help. :thumbsup:

is that possible that the drive by wire not consistant .. this happens to my BMW X5 as well , if I push the X5 accelerator lightly before flooring it , it pulls very hard but if I floor it straight away at the light sometimes it doesn't give full power

My gt-8 accelerates hard from stop everytime as long as I push it all the way to the floor ... yeah :thumbsup:

^ exactly. The throttle motor has a slow ramp, especially if you are under 30kph. The M35 Stagea has a similar pita setup.

A good ecu reflash (like a Nismo ecu) will be the only way to fix it.

Thanks for your info,

but aren't ecu set-ups around 2.5k ??

You are welcome, mate. Always a pleasure to help out a fellow V-series owner.

With the ECU reflesh, I can't help you as I don't know anything about it. :P But I am sure there will be someone you can.

Good luck. Enjoy your V. :)

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
