Hands Up all the Aussies

[jpw]

Sorry - I just deleted that post as I was going to edit it. Am a bit of a newbie a this. The rev hanging occurred with the rev matching turned on as well as off.

It felt weird because the revs would not drop quickly after releasing the clutch when changing gears at high rpm - which made the process feel clumsy - jerky. Maybe I need more practice with the car.

I noticed the same thing and as a seasoned manual driver felt like I was shifting poorly. No doubt it's just a quirk that'll we'll soon learn to drive around.

Not Aus but close enough

Picking mine up this Friday.

Gotta say…you know the world is in bad shape when the kiwis are getting their cars first

Good to know…I was looking at getting slims, just wanted to be sure before I did the order.
Now to decide what I want to put on it

Any suggestions?? Anyone??

Could be as easy as the month you "ordered"
APR21 or MAR21
You'd have to decide which one it was though. Seems to change around

Ahh damn. I was hoping the Z would be "old school" enough to miss the rev hang. Does it do it at low/mid revs too?

I'd say it was an emissions thing for an older engine to help and burn off any excess.
I've been able to tune a good portion of it out in previous cars so maybe that will be the case with the Z too

From memory, I think it does it from about 3500-4000rpm and up - but it is most noticeable when launching hard and revving out close to the redline.

Sorry - I meant it is most noticeable/irritating when upshifting when close to the redline.

It’s pretty easy to understand.
I put an order in in March, I put my deposit down early April 2021 …no confusion at all

These popup 'giveaway' clubs seem so scammy yet they get so much social media engagement.

I see that SA residents are never eligible to enter these raffles, perhaps other states will cotton on eventually.

I'm very keen for some skidpan days, going from AWD for the past decade, to RWD will have me nervous.
We should organise a day later this year for the Z's in Brisbane area.

They say the Z can't do a burnout but I've seen a few vids of them doing donuts and now at a skidpan. I guess it's only when the brakes are applied at the same time there's a problem with it cutting out?
