bhavin85 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hi Guys, I was just reading over the performance section and noticed that someone said the zed doesnt give 100% throttle in some gears! "65% throttle opening is 1st, 70% in 2nd and 80% in 3rd. 4th, 5th and 6th are all 100%" I have had a look online and I cant find any more info about this...why would nissan limit the throttle in 3 gears it doesnt make sense to me...surely a quicker car would sell more So if anyone has any more info on this can you send it my way as id be interested in reading Plus side is that ill probably be off to abbey soon just to "correct" this issue haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Excellent question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxi-glasgow Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Perhaps this is the reason why you feel such a big difference when you fit the D1 Throttle Controller that EP Racing sell on here as I understand this opens the throttle 100% in all gears.

D1 wont change the throttle... It just changes the voltage from the drive by wire... Only thing that changes it is a remap or a change of ECU. Bhav, loads of reasons behind it. Probably to get the emissions down and environmental stuff more than anything. Its the reason the car is throttled in other ways too.

Wookiee22 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 The UpRev remap also allows 100% throttle opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhavin85 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Mark I didnt even think about emissions...thats probably 1 of the main reasons it was done... Does this mean if i go to Abbey and get a remap I should see a quicker 0-60 time ? I just want to give myself the best possible advantage when playing Traffic Light Grand Prix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demolition49 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I would of guessed you don't want 100% in first when launching or you wheel spin too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I would of guessed you don't want 100% in first when launching or you wheel spin too much? yup, thats right too! Its all about product placing, emissions, reliability/longevity and much more . Nissan has to cater for all needs which is why uprev, D1 and every aftermarket manufacturer or tuners make a killing. You also have to account that drive by wire is a bit laggy unlike cable connected throttle which controls throttle electronically through pedal position sensors. Unfortunately slow response makes the car difficult and unpleasurable to drive. The D1 controls the voltage signal of the pedal and adjust the throttle to be more or less sensitive giving you can set up faster throttle response for a quick lauch or driving and even set slower throttle response for economy. IMHO for anyone not wanting to break the bank and wants to improve performance will keeping everything standard then this is a must because why else buy exhaust , CAIs etc if you will not make then work better with a remap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
