I'll clarify - it doesn't really affect the driveability of the car at all, and it's very, very subtle. But it really takes the linearity out of the pedal feel on initial application.
If I felt this on one of my older Supras with an ECU, I'd be going in to look at throttle maps - as it feels...
Thank you, I did check this - but I always drive the car with TC/VSC off.
I am certain it's just mapping, again - all the other cars I own that are DBW - some OEM, some aftermarket - don't do this, and it's really fucking annoying me.
A good way to see this issue:
Use the 'sport displays' screen
press the accelerator a bit (you want about 3kW/4hp)
See how long it takes before the screen registers 3kW - from the time you pushed the pedal
It's not long, but it's enough to feel unnatural.
Cool, I'm hoping that's the case. Typically I drive in sport with TRC off... I was in normal mode to reduce the burbles, because I am old, but put into sport for the above reason and it's still annoying.
Has anyone else noticed with the 6MT a throttle 'deadband' or 'hestiation' on application of small throttle inputs - say 5%?
EG - you're cruising at a constant speed around town, in 4th/5th (gear doesn't matter)
You apply a small throttle input - a normal "just cruising" amount - and there is...
Only fired it up on the hoist... seems loud, but it's in the corner of the workshop too. Probably as loud as the A80 haha.
Very nice! To be fair, I had these left over from my 2019 8AT, so couldn't help myself
I ended up going through the US, but after import duty got me, it wasn't much cheaper than local. Kinda forgot about that one... but to be fair, I had Covid, and it was a rage-induced purchase as the one I hand-made ended up being asymmetrical and it did my head in. hahah
Ah, just a Tomei Type D I bought last year and never fitted to my 8AT because it arrived after the announcement of the manual. Hopefully sounds decent!
Thanks guys, my dealer has been awesome. Threw in the boot mat and net for free, and knocked off $2700 for me.
I've detailed the interior, will give it a proper wash/decontamination on the weekend and the full CQuartz ceramic coat... while that's curing, I'll add the Titanium exhaust.
The 2023...
