    Can I jump start the Z?

    in 350Z Technical

    Posted

    I may be wrong but i'm sure I read somewhere that someone blew their ECU doing this? May be wrong but just thought i'd mention it.

     

    No Ian you are wrong - the owner who had the ECU problem was being wrongly accused by the garage - the handbook sets out the usual procedure for jump starting (for those who may not know how to) ;)

     

    I stand corrected ;)

    When I was considering it, I was told that it makes the car a bit more like a Honda where you have to keep revving high. Suppose it's down to personal preference.

     

    Also depending on the driving you are planning on doing, in a stright line it could be a bit slower with extra gear changes ie 0 - 60 would require the 3rd gear if you have a 276 Zed.

    gears are a linear change, the same change at any point in the rpm range

     

    with the VQ35DE engine, we suggest upping the rev limiter, though it's certainly not a requirement

     

    Can you just change the rev limit on the stock ecu via reflash or do you need the Haltech ECU or similar?

    I get this too.

     

    Mine fills up to about 3 quarters then creeps up a tiny bit once driving. I could probably drive to Wales on my warning light.

     

    To be honest I dont trust the fuel guage in the Zed anyway. Its always going up and down for me. :wacko:

    The Playboy number plates were skilfully added using sophisticated image editing techniques ;) , and I only used the Playboy ones because they were the only “350Zâ€

    ESR/Fletch carried out the following work on my Nissan 350z:

     

    P1 Service

    Changing front disks and pads

    Camber & Toe alignment

    Installation of aftermarket Air Filter

    Installation of Aftermarket Y pipe (exhaust)

     

    Along with many other members of the 350z community, I did a 400 mile round trip from Birmingham to Sunderland to ensure my car was worked on by skilled specialists including Fletch whom I was confident would carry out the work to the highest standard.

     

    I would not hesitate to take my current or future cars to Fletch in the future.

     

    Kind Regards,

    Cheers Alex I'm just looking at the moment to be honest.

     

    What would the be the drawbacks to this? Shorter gears?

     

    Oh, and what has the diff got to do with this? Is this not a sort of gear change in the gearbox?
