tools99 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Hi Got an Import Fairlady Z Roadster I would like to know exactly what the Snow/Power button does Can anyone explain? I can imagine roughly what the buttons are for but a techy explanation would be great if anyone knows? Cheers Quote
Jay Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 All i know is the snow buttom drops ur revs and doesnt allow you to go ever 3 thousand revs (i think) i dont use it. The power buttom is the exact opp! It allows high revs for that little bit extra fun Someone with techy info will be here shortly no doubt Quote
tools99 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 Thanks for that, I didn't realisr that the snow button works like a rev limiter, I put it on once and the car felt like a tractor! Quote
Jay Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Yeh its not a nice feeling when the old snow button is hit lol. The gf decided to push the snow button while i was doing 80 on the motorway Quote
JAP350Z Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 I may not be exactly right, but as well as limiting the revs I believe the SNOW button also starts you off in 2nd gear, to limit wheel spin. For the POWER button, I haven't used it that often as I tend to be lazy and just put my foot to the floor - the auto box changes gear so quickly there never seems to be a problem. What I seem to remember is that it changes gear at higher revs. Also, I don't think the auto box changes up to 5th if you floor the car from 0mph, it seemed to hit the rev limiter in 4th and then not do anything else. Maybe the POWER button works best for 0 - 60 blasts away from the lights. Quote
tools99 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 Interesting info guys, Thanks for this! Quote
Jay Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Maybe the POWER button works best for 0 - 60 blasts away from the lights. Oh it is Quote
waylander Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Agree, flick the power on while at a standstill and wait for the green light, pedal to the metal and its Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 i might have to try the power switch before i get my new tyres put on the back then Quote
jim Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Maybe the POWER button works best for 0 - 60 blasts away from the lights. Oh it is Sorry - just caught up with this thread. I find the power button very good for overtaking - it maintains a gear ratio for longer before changing up, and is ideal in combination with the tiptronic shift. Quote

Huh? it may be me but is the tip tronic "manual" as such so you can shift up and down when ever you feel like it? Quote
Shaun1982 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 yup youd be right dude,change when you like Quote
dazzerbone Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 i no when the snow button is on but when i put the power button on i dont notice a difference at all, i always have mine in manual rather than auto though, so is that all it does... change the gears at higher revs that is probably why i wont notice it then if im changing my own gears.
