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?

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. :)

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
