My350z Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi guys, New to the forum as I've just purchased my GT4 last week! Love the car and everything is looking good apart from one thing. When accelerating quickly I've noticed the revs go up then drop down - then slowly pick back up again before going through the normal rev range? I've watched a few acceleration videos on YouTube (faithful resource) and the needles don't drop at all like mine. They just power through. It feels like something's not biting as it should, the car revs and then takes a few seconds to lock into place. Need a bit of advice really, sorry if this has been posted before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My350z Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks Is it a clutch issue I should be searching for? Wasn't quite sure this was the problem or not to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My350z Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Brilliant! Only got it last week. Might be worth seeing if something like this is covered in my 3 month warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhorno Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Parts usually covered mate worth checking tho , parts prob 200-300 depends on what you get and I bet work would be 450-600 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) fellow GT4 owner. Slipping clutch mate as already covered. Should be covered by consumer act as though it is a wear and tear item it should be reasonably fit for purpose for a nominal period after purchase. So unless you have put on crazy miles since you bought in within the week or have been driving only sideways everywhere you better get back to the dealer to get it repaired. If they say no just calmly return the car. No need to invoke warranty. If the decide to fix it FOC as they should used the opportunity to get an uprated clutch and single mass flywheel. Traders here will help with sourcing. This option is cheaper than going to Nissan for OEM stuff so the dealer should thank you.
