Our ECU is a smart bugger

[UnXpectedError]

so as some of you know i went to the track last week. well ive noticed now thats my car is a lot more alive then before.
it shifts faster and has increased throttle response. its even a bit touchy going in reverse, my wife found that out the hard way when she tried backing up slowly this weekend out of a spot but end up going faster then she intended...right into a brick wall lol. luckly the damnage isnt bad as she was still going very slow , just scatches along the whole rear bumper. luckly i have some autobody experience and ill fix it my self when the weather gets nicer out.

im still amazed at how bringing it to the track once completely changed the way the car now responds...basically it learned that i want to go fast lol. has any one else encounter this?

well what did u do in the track?

how did u train it? punching it several times?

Well if you used S mode and drove with a heavy foot constantly, it works.


The ECU defaults to try to save fuel economy though, shifting early and often and providing gas gently.

yeah thats what the sale man told me too. its adopt to the way u drive, but i dont really pay much attention to it lol

[GT-R]

yea it shifts early.

i4 is different. though ross' i4 has some good pep. he did drive my v6 and was amazed and i taught it to be lively. though my gas mileage sucks. luckly my 1 part time job is gas station attendant. haha can anyone say discount?

[GT-R]

agaaaiiiin?? damn man don't make me part out my car n get a V6 now...

[Pawel062]

haha go ahead. i'll take some of ur parts. i told u about getting a v6 when u traded for the 09.

the i4 should also benefit a bit from spirited driving.

[GT-R]

no I can't, the V6 cost like $200-300 more a month than my I4.

hey what does spirited driving mean?

[Pawel062]

means actually touching the pedal quite a bit

depends which model v6 u get and how well u can talk them down.

[GT-R]

haha I got heavy foot!

Kinda sucked that i had my snow tires on and no twisties around so i can show you what our car can really do. I love my 5 speed.

Please stay on topic and do not derail threads. This is about ECU not leases.

sorry to hear, but you hit the track and it just became a self response of shift speed and response to faster??

no aftermartket ecu or u tuned it?

To the OP, we know the ECU learns as it has been discussed for at least 4 years in this forum..........
