Has anyone asked their dealer about LC2 or tried it out for themselves yet? >_<

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was:

R R R

mash brake and accelerator, wait, and then, bam! let go of brake.

I am a pussy and have not had a go in order to conserve the drivetrain.

i tried it once but it didnt work. Revs only went to 2500rpm and the "launch" was lackluster. I dont think it worked. Someone mentioned somewhere that tranny temps needs to be within a certain range otherwise it doesnt work?

yes i have read the same on NAGTROC, 'you have to get to operating temps'

RRR is not how you launch on LC1 cars. so i'd say the process would be the same for LC2? it's R R off. and remember the first R drops out if you switch between man and auto modes etc. and it will re-set sometimes. the best bet is to drive normally in normal mode. then come to a complete stop. then switch to R, R, Off. then go for it.

i could be wrong but i dont think you need to turn VDC off now (with LC2)

yeah I have a feeling you are right. as I remember someone saying the improved TC is what gives the better time. does the S2 GTR even have LC? I thought it didn't but all this talk of "LC2" made me convinced it does. I understood when they released the S2 GTR that it did not have any type of LC. you just nail it off the line and go from there. so you can't hold it on the brake with the clutch disengaged at 4500 rpm anymore. I don't know for sure. I haven't had any serious fun in a S2 GTR. all S1 JDMs for me.

I think there was some confusion when the TCM was revised (the USA 'recall') where a bunch of media outlets initially reported that Launch Control was "no more". Turns out the same functionality (apparently) exists - albeit with launch RPM's not exceeding about 3000rpm or thereabouts now. I guess it's never been officially acknowledged as "launch control" anyway. Apparently the 4800rpm clutch dump with LC1 was intended to projectile your $150k car out of mud or snow...... (because that would really work)......

yeah I always dial up about 6,000rpm in the old GTR and step off the clutch whenever I am bogged off roading in the swiss alps... lol. works very well... at spraying skiers with snow and mud.

I guess you could say. "sorry officer, I saw a patch of snow on the ground and had to use my snow release mode, i then only accelerated for 4 seconds to make sure I was clear of it. and somehow ended up doing 120 kp/h. I didn't think that was possible.".

ok i tried it again tonight and got it to work.

I had it in RRR mode - i didnt try any other mode.

Basically you have to mash the brake pedal then ABSOLUTELY SMASH to accelerator pedal (revs rise to 3000+rpm) then let off the brake pedal.

It's obviously some sort of fly by wire throttle so it feels stupid smashing the loud pedal like that, but it's the only way it will work.

If the revs only go to 2000 ~ 2500rpm, then you havent smashed the gas pedal quick enough.

After you let go of the brake, it rolls forward, but there is an amount of lag (about 1 second) before the thing takes off.

interesting.

did it feel any different to a normal 'aggressive take off' without LC?

It did feel pretty quick once it got going, but to be frank i havent really done any agressive driving on the street otherwise, so i am not sure how it compares.

I'm keen to try it but brookvale nissan told me I had to wait til 2000 kms before engaging R mode, previously I'd heard I only had to do 1000 kms. Is this what you've been told also?

I cant remember what they told me in respect to R mode. I wonder what it says in the manual? (if anything)

personally I'd wait at least 5 mins before engaging R mode.... ;)

and LC with the JDM cars you just had to have your foot on the brake, not pushing it really hard (it acts more like a switch). and with the accelerator you just had to push it too the floor, didn't matter if you mash it in a hurry or just slowly push it to the floor. either way worked. and then once it's there the car would hold 4500rpm. once you get off the brake it's like activating the 'go' switch! the clutches start to act and the brakes are released in an instant. and away you go at up to 1.2g of acceleration. and be ready with the upshift paddle as you are about to hit the rev limiter in first gear...

Interesting!!

I did the same and measured my 0-100km time as 4.1

I think that slight lag at the start may rob us of the claimed 3.3secs claimed from Nissan for the ADM 09 GTR

I have only had my red car a week. Beautiful to drive and so muck more refined than my R33 that I have had for 12 years.

New LC on R R R

yeah, HPC in Gold coast says 2000km too, btw has anyone tried the snow mode?

apparently the automatic shifting is supposed to feel smoother according to a JGTC driver reporting on best motoring, tried it myself and it kind of did feel smoother but not sure whether it's just my mind playing games with me

I just tried LC for the 1st time today.. Your right about being ready with the upshift paddle, feels like a slingshot! What an experience!! :happy:

I think LC1 and LC2 are different, in order for LC2 owners to be able to perform LC w/o voiding the warranty Nissan has made LC2 RRR instead of RROff

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
