How hard do you reckon it would be to fit this feature, the car has enough sensors to be tapped into etc, are there any DIY versions out there

what`s wrong with your ignition key ? :)

all cars have it anyways ...

 

its called using your key :)

I know about the key, well done for your observations so a gold star rewarded to the pair of you,

 

The same answer could be applied to abs , traction control etc, but my question was, how hard would it be to retro fit start stop technology (not using the key!) to a z,

Just fit an LPG conversion too!!!

 

:no::no::no::no:

Todays most random idea:lol:

At the end of the day it's just a switch that turns the starter motor, so I wouldn't have thought it would be that hard. Probably would still need to use the key to switch on the power and accs though.

 

EDIT: Just actually read what you want! lol. So scrap what I said..

i would assume it would have to work with in the abs sensors and your handbrake ..

 

sense car as stopped

hand brake applied

engine stop

 

then to activate it to start would have to be on throttle

press to switch engine on ... and drive away

 

but realistically the stop/start of any car is only a small saving of about few mpg over a tank full

is it really worth it ?

Thank you, I am not considering fitting it, but just wanted the topic covered as it hasn't been before. I'm a great believer that you shouldn't by a 300zx for fuel economy, just thought it would be a good topic to talk about

All the start stop cars I have been in restart the car when the clutch is pressed, activated by neutral selection and car at a standstill.

From what I have read s/s tech gives a saving of approx 5% (8%) in city conditions, that's quite a lot considering how much our ladies drink
