91 Gt-r

[JohnSeraSurf]

My 91 GT-R is a bit sluggish, not much response ( IMO) from a stand, seems mostly after starting. Is this normal for the Auto, or is there a likleyhood a problem.

The car seems to recover from this mostly, after the things warmed up. But from a stand its never quite what i think it should be.

Also I still dont know the difference in the settings on the 4WS.

Any comments very welcome :bookworm:

No disrespect but have you topped up on engine oil?

Ash.

[JohnSeraSurf]

Oil seems fine. Engine runs smooth. No smoke. All seems great. Just to me the thing hangs about a bit. Once out and about its great. May be its a tuning issue with the low octane fuel on an import....I dont know.

Thanx for replying anyway.

Yoy could stick some optimax in see if that helps.

In most cases auto's are slower off the lights than manuals because with a manual you can build revs up higher before the off and also autos usually have fewer ratios.

an auto gt-r (3sfe if im not mistaken) is 119bhp and the auto box is going to knock about a second off the 0-60 so realisticly your looking at 9secs or more :(

Sorry if that doesnt help but i dont think there is anything wrong with the car :)

the 4wheel steering settings,

iot should have a setting that switches the 4 ws off when you are in reverse to make reverse parking easier, and also a sports button that tightens and stiffens the steering,

for a more sports feel.

GT-R should be a 3sGE engine around 158bhp.

My old GT-R seemed sluggish till I got an induction kit on it which freed it up a fair bit.

hmmm, well if you want the response time increased, just fit induction kit and a full stainless & de-cat. i assume it has a kick down or sports mode?.

and it shouldnt be booted til its at normal operating temperature.

[JohnSeraSurf]

Many thanks all of you. Sounds ok. I'm less worried. I will get an induction kit, I put one on my Sera and it made a bit of difference. Does anyone know if a tuneup is needed for an import, cos of diff octanes or something.
