Hi Sorimachi....
I've been driving Auto cars since 1992, first car was Manual.
I know what you mean when you say you need more power when overtaking.
To cut all the story about how Auto gear box decide when to kick down or down shift..
A simple way to go about without touching the OD on/off or pulling the gear knob down to L2....
When you are cruising....once you want to overtake, you lift your foot from the throttle and floor it. This signal the gear box that you want a down shift.
Sometimes, you slowly push the throttle down even to the end, the gear box don't react. This is the time you need to lift your foot and down again.

Aiks, this is my 1st car is AUTO ma......you can't blame me wor.....Then, what should i do leh? teach a bit ler....coz i don't know how to take care of auto gearbox ar....but for the manual, you can ask me.....i'm expert on it! Sometimes when i really wanna take over that car ar, it's so hard ler.......so i need to push full lor.

sorimachi...what dream said its true. this feilo is my 1st auto car. only have it for 6 months, so im not expect in auto as well. but when u wanna overtake, instead of downshift and turn off the OD, push the pedal then lift it and then floor it again. u will feel some difference.

dream...i will bring u to my friend's place la...they just move to a new place. having promotion....have few new 18" from Japan! :D

Thanks guys for your concern but i didn't touching the OD or shift to L2 when overtaking, i just simply floor it only. That's why i trying to tell you guys. When i full acceleration, without touching the OD and L2, it's automatically shift my gear down to 2 sometimes 3 and the RPM went to 5500 - 6500. It's not usual for me...........

Yesterday one of my buddy call me from Japan, he told me a lots of things about his place, environment and the stuff he have. He said mostly is A32 cars come and throw. Added he want me to have the rear Mirror with wiper some more. The auto cruise chair, rim and a lots...........What do you think guys?

This happens like very often? you have your power mode turn on?
Do you feel the lack of power when you hear the engine rev?
Where i'm going is that, it is possible that the gearbox is slipping. Like clutches giving way on a manual gearbox.. this happens alot in Perdana.
Actually the auto gearbox sensing torgue vs speed. If you have enough torgue, it will not kick down.
I most obvious case is, from standstill, you press the throttle and the engine rev to 4~5k but the car not really moving.

Having someone over there and get the work done is always a good move.
I think you all A32 owner can start to work on a list and sign up.
Can get Sorimachi's friend to snap photo and attached to the list.
Then you all can share the shipment.
I'm sure someone will want a VQ25 half cut...some will want the rear cut with rear windscreen + wiper.

thanks guys... i learn a lots from your posting about the auto box... next time will have to be very gentle to her already...

ong.. got any picture or not? i am interested in rims lah.....

 

[vk9]

guys.. how to increase traction for our feilou?

yesterday was raining heavily... driving up a hotel lobby which is about 45 degree uphill... stop in the middle of upgoing hill (cos other car blocking the way).... after that press the accelerator and want to continue going up... the wheel spins... drop gear to L2 also no help. at the end have to reverse down the hill and redo it again....

any advise? (fyi, my tyres are new wor)

thanks.

I would suggest left foot braking in this case! Maintain RPM at about 1.5k and left foot braking. slowly release and let your car go..
I think it best if you have the SNOW option for more traction, but if you don't, this left foot braking should do the trick.

Hahahahaa, is my pleasure to help you all guys.....but i need to wait till he came back 1st. Mouth to mouth is useless because not yet see those things. Just wait until next week. I also want the Rear Widescreen and autocruise chair too. By the way, the crystal lamp i took already(in the phone) and the front crystal lamp(black base)!!!!

the other best way is to actually turn yr steering wheel left & right to get more traction. similar technic that 4x4 guys use when their offroading
