Dynamic Turtle Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 As per the title are there any methods of improvement the snail’s pace throttle response on the 370ZN without spending £400 on a remap and even more on a lightweight flywheel? Is that D1Spec widget the answer? How does it work, is it worth the hassle and is it a viable long term solution? Absolutely hate the fact that the engine basically won’t rev in neutral! It feels like a diesel VW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Nah, you really require an uprev . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamic Turtle Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Really? Seems to be some positive press on the forums from Apexi / D1 users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 You could try the D1, but I took mine out after a few months on the 350. Yes, it does what it says, but it's so binary with it that it actually made the car worse to drive. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you just need to learn to push the pedal down harder. I had to with mine, and when it kinda clicked it was so much better. Perseverance, my old chum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to with mine, and when it kinda clicked it was so much better. Perseverance, my old chum. Well I have been stamping the pedal pretty hard and it's nothing like my (admittedly, Uprevved) 350z. The Apexi controller appears to have several "modes" - maybe on of them is smoother than the D1 effect you describe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The D1 had multiple modes as well, but they all pretty much ruined the driving experience for me. Don't get me wrong, they're great at first and do exactly what you want, but then ultimately as you learn the car and gain confidence a twitchy throttle can really upset the balance.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I got the Apexi and it's a brilliant piece of kit, I had it before and I'm keeping it after doing the TT Worth every penny. Are you on Auto or Manual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the upRev map 3 to twitchy the 2nd map is enough it all gets a bit jerky after that in relation to your comment of unbalancing the car Edited February 5, 2015 by nissanman312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic Turtle Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Don't regret it quite yet (let's see just how fast it depreciates though). It just needs the usual suite of powertrain mods to really make it sing, not really any different to the 350, which is a lot more fun with a zorst and hfc mods. The nismos chassis is sublime, it is faster and more stable at speeds but it has some serious issues with rev laziness, tyre roar and silent exhaust that needs addressing, imho.

Dynamic Turtle Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Should also say that we know exactly what Nissan are capable of producing - just look at the gtr. So when they release a vehicle with a Nismo badge of course it's disappointing when it sounds like an asthmatic hairdryer and revs like your mums diesel. Clearly if spend a literally more on some choice mods it becomes the car it should've been. Sadly a Nissan warranty and pcp is restricting my options somewhat...

Keyser Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 May I suggest an SC maybe some NOS and UPREV remap and a pair of these That should sort the problem Hope you find a sensible solution mate 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic Turtle Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Octet were all big boys here and know what the 370 concept is capable of and we also know that corporate envirosocial retard-yank bull often gets in the way of an amazing thing (fuse 22 anyone?). So it is with the 370N. So let's not pretend it came from the factory all perfect because it simply didn't. £2k remedies all that. Anyway, would be very grateful if you could source one I just hope it's as effective as you claim... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Turtle Apparently one guy was selling this kit here, but it was so damn good he changed his mind after fitting it http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/79526-not-available-anymore-370z-apexi-smart-accel-controler/ I can however get you one at £235 shipped via TORQEN Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic Turtle Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) £235 is a bit too much - think I'd rather pay another 165 and have a proper uprev at Abbey, they can sort about a dozen other jobs on the car at the same time too. £150 is a more sensible price for a cable and £3 box of of pcb to be honest...
