The skipping is now imperceptible...nice way to try and back track. You have no ground to stand on.

And don't even start to talk about modding the RX....because you can just as easily mod a Z to increase handling gains.

Admit you are loser...We already know it, so it's not you'd be surprising us with anything new.
The fricking tires SKIP. A TINY FUCKING SKIP. Surprised me the first time. Then I reproduced it repeatedly. Salesperson said that's odd. I tried to do it in my car. Can't do it. Do you know why? Because even when you fucking brake at high speed, my car just skids. SKID. Even around the fucking street corner.

Obviously, the tires are coming off the ground just a little bit. It's a tiny fucking SKIP, but if you're as detailed a person as I am, you can not miss it. That can not be normal. I have wondered if it might be associated with the alleged front suspension design flaw, for which a class action lawsuit is gathering.

Actually your posts have been thoroughly dissected by the forum at large due to your outlandish statements and temper tantrums

Do your own research. It's been around. Check my350z.com. Also, in this same thread, someone else verified that statement. COME ON, dude.

You were wrong on the "skip" and your wrong on other accounts as well. Your posts show two things. First, they show you have no clue what you are talking about when it comes to chassis dynamics or bluntly cars in general. Secondly, it shows that you probably are a poor driver whom cannot feel what the car is actually doing. Case closed....

ok, lets assume this isn't due to your bad driving skills for kicks here..ever consider that maybe this problem was specific to the car you test drove only and not a problem with all 350z's? i'm just wondering how you are so sure this is a problem with all 350z's after one test drive.

as for the class action lawsuit regarding tire feathering, you're a day late and a dollar short. this issue has been resolved by Nissan. to somehow draw a conclusion that this problem affected handling with no data to back that up is...ridiculous.

Well, as our own resident cheif lawyer here F1 has stated, and he owns a Z, he is member of 4 Z forums and knows nothing any such lawsuit.

A few posts ago you said the tire skip was impreceptible...now youre saying its so bad you know a wheel is kifting?

You truly are grasping for straws here.

A, you're an idiot and there is no tire skip.
B, you DON'T know how to drive
C, if a tire lifts off the ground, its usually the front outside tire....and its at very high speeds...and its usually sign that the front suspension is VERY stiff...oh, and its not a bad thing either.

To be fair i read your posts and have read the rx8 forums. I havent said you were wrong since most people are getting higher MPG now AFTER a reflash from the dealer.

Also it seems that people arent adding oil every fill up but at every 1k miles. A FREAKING QUART every 1k miles is nuts! I dont have to own the car to know that!

Also if you want links from my finding feel free to ask. But the point is that you come off as a guy trying to hard to be smart. Only thing you whined about in this thread is how Juniorbean was wrong and how the 350z has a "Skip".

I mean you having a heartattack over those two points. How many more posts can you post about the same damn thing over and over. We get the point!

Your last point is fine. And it might explain the little skip. Great. But back to the premise: the skip happens. FACT. Flaw or no flaw is not the basic issue here. Explaining why it happens is not the basic issue here. IT HAPPENS. FACT.

The only skipping that is taking place is where the neurons in your brain fail to give off any electrical synapse whatsoever.

I was talking to my mechanic. He said that the RX8 was designed similar to a 2-cycle engine. You needed to mix oil with gasoline to the engine. He said that it was not like the car was worn out but it was designed to mix oil with gasoline.

Is this true?

Again, you have no clue what you are talking about. My best friend has a Z and I've driven a few Z's during test drives. The front end UNDERSTEERS when pushed hard and the car is very safe handling wise. It doesn't skip, nor is "skipping" a technical term I've ever heard when describing a vehicles dynamics.

A neuron gives off an electrical impulse. A synapse is a "branch" from an existing neuron that can reach out and communication electrically with synapses from other neurons.

Oh good you are on...I wanted to yell at you, too, but since yo posted last year I wasnt sure if you still came round here.

You live in glendale and there are no subie dealers near!!! BULLSHIT..you are one lazy ass motherfucker.

I live in glendale...there is big valley up in Van Nuys, and one in Santa Monica, and Thousand Oaks, and Irvine.

Get off your lazy ass and drive to one.

To the extent the lobotomy ablates certain regions in the medial prefrontal cortex, areas that can include the interacting functions of emotion and regulatory control.

Neurons communicate with eachother by sending a charge over the synapse...which is what we both just said...but nice try.

Don't forget, there is one in Monrovia too right off the 210 before the 605 interchange if you are heading eastbound.

I concur..

He lacks general automotive knowledge and uses highly technical terms like "skip". He also lacks the knowledge that the Wankel Rotary engine by design consumes oil and is less fuel efficient. Emperical evidence would conclude that he has no clue.

There are a few extremists here in the northwest who act just like him. They usually have junker cars held together with political bumper stickers and accuse you of being a traitor or 'sheeple' if you voted for the wrong guy.
