fairladyz2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hi, I'm not sure if my fairlady zeds got something wrong.. But feels like in gear one, the acceleration seems to lack that kick? Anyone else experienced this ? Any advice much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 It's a pretty heavy car so is slow off the mark. The 350 is pretty slow. Are you comparing this to lack of kick to another 350? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Keep it in first gear at 4000 revs, then plant your foot down. if theres no kickback... well.. there should be Edit: if your just putting foot down in first, they do seem slow to the driver as theres no turbo kick and power seems to start at higher revs Edited August 1, 2013 by ddcboyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATTAK Z Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Also the output is electronically limited to a percentage (the mech guys will tell you the details) in gear 1, 2 and 3 (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 isnt this the throttle mapping being particularly retarded in the first 3 gears? mine takes a little while to respond when pulling away in first gear, thinking of a d1 throttle controller might be the answer.

Thats my next mod. It doesnt make car add any bhp etc, but it supposedly makes the car a bit more jumpy. As if there was no inbetween for the accelerator pedal, just pure footdown power. Edit: does your car have any mods? Things like cheap intakes etc can slow the car. And where are you located?

ianphampton Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Get your car UpRev remapped (Abbey do a sterling job of this) and it removes the limits in the lower gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairladyz2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Anyone know who could do a remap in London area ? Cheers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I think theres only 3 companys that can do it. Costs around 400 I believe. I havent had any mods youve read here, but maybe look at throttle controller first if you dont have 400pound to spare. Remember to take esp off, or get some1 to drive ur car and sit as passenger then you will feel the power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Anyone know who could do a remap in London area ? Cheers ! Abbey Motorsport are in Surrey I think, as already stated only 3 companies in The U.K can do the uprev. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
