Rev hang is a definite thing - it was a big issue on the VA WRXes and STIs. It's actually an emissions thing and it's very easy to tune out. Engineering Explained put up a video explaining what's going on a while back. To be fair, this could be a different issue, but it sure sounds like what you're describing.
Starting with the 370, Nissan introduced RevMatching on the transmissions. This was for both up and downshifting. I assume it could be that, but I haven't driven the new Z, only my 370. There is also a stop sale email going around on forums for these Proto Spec Manual Z's from Nissan (Yes there is also one on the Auto's in regards to runaway cars when in Park), so I'm guessing that is one of the reasons why they are issuing that.
3in lift and you will be good to go with the 37s. depending on offset you might need to do some trimming. Glad to see the truck doesn’t sound like a jet on the freeway anymore lol
Should clean the area for the badges really well with IPA before you install them. Will help them stay on longer. You don't wanna lose $300 a piece badges...
I love every video no matter the content it could be just a video specially for one car or showing us all the builds or even just you hanging out with friends! I would like to see you take your cars to a car meet or maybe even a cruise with the crew that’ll be sick 🙌🏻great work tj
Definitely enjoy the shorts! Especially of the stuff in Japan! I have TikTok and Instagram but don’t really go on there to often more of a Utube watcher! So yeah would be great to see some of the deleted scenes or just short stories or messages about upcoming videos!!! Thanks!! Cars Are Sick!!!
Might be a stretch but what about a second channel for simple videos with not much editing of just doing pulls on the highway and cruising around town for the people who enjoy that aspect as well
I never comment on youtube videos, but I have been subscribed for a few years now and it's finally time. As a SoCal native I can confirm that pickleball is probably one of the most fun games I've ever played. It is not hard to learn, super fun with friends, and actually gets you active. Man if we have car content AND pickleball content in one place, then TJ is just the GOAT lmao
Teej..I used to have a 6speed TSX and it felt that same way with the transmission, I put a different clutch master and a lightweight flywheel and it fixed the Rev hang issue. I know it's a different platform but just something to look into
Make sure you get the truck aligned. I would also align it every 20k miles. The sound you get from driving yes does come from big truck tires but it also comes from when the tires start cupping which happens when the alignment is not perfect
Manual Transmission on my 400Z definitely feels the same. It also almost feels like before you go into a gear, it like locks for split second and then goes into gear. My Z did get recalled and Nissan will put an entire brand new Transmission in my Z. I wonder if that will fix that, but I agree. My G35 CD009 feels 1000 times better than the one on the Z.
So it has to do something with the transmission? Thought it was something ECU related, sucks to hear that. I heard about the new Civic SI having the same 'problem'...
I wonder if it has some sort of clutch delay valve. I have a honda that had a similar issue. I was able to delete the delay valve and that fixed the issue. Maybe something that you can look into
its probably equivalent to how the tiptronic transmission feels in auto VQs. Very slight hang for like a fraction of a second before the rpm drops again in a new gear
TJ Hunt Great Video I'm glad you ordered official Veilside Badges for your Veilside RX-7 and I'm glad you already got one of em and I can't wait to see the rest and I'm also HRE is resizing your Street Hunter Widebody Zs Front Wheels and that you got some way quieter tires for your Silverado and that your 370z is all fixed up and I can't wait to see what Car you'll be getting in New York and word has it that your C8 Z06 is probably at Whitmoyer Chevrolet waiting for delivery
Invest in a adhesion promoter pen. About $15 on Amazon. 3M. It will enhance the 3M tape tremendously. I would never stick a emblem or anything with double sided tape without it. We are a custom auto shop and swear by it!
hey tj ! yea a lightweight flywheel would help a lot, i own a si and it came with a lot of rev hang from factory. but a tune a new flywheel would solve everything
37s can be fit by either buying a 8-10 inch lift kit front and back possible metal trimming but if you were to get a 10 inch lift kit you wouldn’t have to trim or cut anything👍👍
TJ if you haven't already! Clean or replace the map sensor on top of the intake on that truck. Not sure how many miles you have but it could be caked with soot.
Im sure you can tune out the rev hang. It's emmission related. I had bad rev hang on my e92 335i. I changed the clutch delay valve to a better flowing valve and it helped. Then I tuned it and it went away
The trans probably has a clutch delay valve or system in it, similar to the AP2 s2000's - most people remove them to get that direct feel. I have a hunch that's what it is OR it's something in the tune/ECU that the car has.
Most creators use RU-vid shorts just like a movie trailer to drive traffic towards their latest video. Just clip something interesting from the latest video that will entice the audience to the full version.
I own a Nissan Z Proto in Australia and noticed the exact same thing and have the same opinion. I was surprised I hadn’t heard any reviewers talk about it but the e car has a serious amount of rev hang. It was the one thing I mentioned at the 1000km courtesy service. The car looks great but doesn’t drive great. It’s not bad and is still fun. Just not great.
15:10 i think the new civic si has got the same problem with this 'rev hang' it sucks because you cant drive sporty, idk if it has got something to do with the transmission, maybe a combination of ECU/flywheel
I watch your videos religiously bro, doesn't matter what you post. The best ones are when you go to dinner with Sabrina and the boys. Love and support from the UK brother 👊🏻
@TJ Hunt Have you thought about converting your power steering into electric power steering no hydraulic pump or power steering accessories on the engine and it's a standalone system and awesome video my man keep up the hard work and keep moving forward 🙏
Electronic throttle body would be contributing to that rev hang a throttle controller should help. Throttle controller + light weight flywheel + short shifter and it’ll be way different for sure
Do you have blow off valves on the Z if not you are feeling turbo surge. At power the tb blades slam shut with you let off. I would add blowoff valve first see if that fixes it.
1st - We need more harley stuff, I bought one after you did, mines a bit bigger though haha. 2nd - Can use shorts for bs around the shop or track or at home, not long enough for the vlog but still funny stuff or quick tips for working on cars or what not
It might have a delay valve in the slave cylinder causing the clutch to have a calculated engagement to prevent excessive heat and slipping. It can also cause it to feel like it has lockouts on some gears or rough engagement's
Teej for the truck get this set up to fit 37!!! And you can still tow with these COGNITO SM BJ Upper Arm • COGNITO Torsion Keys • FOX 2.5 Resi with DSC Front/Back ~ METHOD NV HD 18x9 Black & METHOD Black Bolts 4 flacon 37×12.50 18
Rev hang is a big thing. Honda does it on almost every manual. You can disable the Rev hang on them with some tuning. I'd assume tuning companies will eventually have the ability to on the Z as well. Lightweight flywheels can help but also I piss the car off as well
11 days late… crazy holiday travel. But I think you should definitely do a crazy video edit with the finished cars. Like a 3-4 minute car culture video or something? Idk just good for thought ❤
I’ve got a 10th gen civic si that has a rev hang issue too, it can be fixed with a tune, a few people have had misfires bc of the rev hang, not sure if it’s the same on other cars
I open and run pickleball 2 nights/week here in Flint, MI. 6 courts, been playing for 4 years now. It's addicting for sure! Fun and a workout. There is a difference between indoor and outdoor pickleballs fyi.
To fit 37s you gotta do a bigger lift because Chevy have “square” wheel wells. Fords and dodge have “round” wheel wells so 37s fit better on fords. For your truck look into at least a 4inch lift… 6 inch is preferred for no trimming with a +0. The 4 inch will need minor trimming meaning the plastic hanging on the bottom of the bumper and on the inside of the wheel well cause it will rub on a full turn. To avoid cupping which is when the tread is uneven rotate every 5K miles and stay away from mud terrain tires that’s why it’s so loud on the freeway. Falken AT3s are the best I mean 55K warranty 1 year road hazard and 3 peak rating so you don’t need chains in the snow is kinda hard to beat and it’s the best option for the price and quality of the tire. If you have any questions I work at Barney’s tire and wheel down the street from west coast and hunter and Kenny know me they can always reach out if you have questions!
Those tires aren’t loud but for sure once they get close to needing changed they handle worse and get louder. Cooper stt pro is the way to go. If you want to fit 37s do it the right way. Get the bds coil over kit and and don’t go wider than a 37x12.50. Also offset plays a major part in fitting them but yours seem mild
Teej would love to hear your thoughts on the EV world and what kind of problems you think they might run into. Would be cool to hear your thoughts on it!
What are his qualifications? That he owns a couple cars? LOL 🤡 he barely knows how to work on his own stuff. What could this moron possibly have to say that is original or insightful?
