So I've had the GT-R since last Thursday and can echo pretty much the same as everyone else as to how special this car is.
After doing the usual of jumping in, getting very confused over the options/controls, jumping out, reading the manual
and then giving it a go, I've pretty much sorted everything to my liking.
As you can guess from the title, the one thing I can't get sorted are hill starts.
I went out last night and tried every option I could think of with the gearbox settings, manual mode, auto mode etc etc to no avail.
On every Hill start I depress the accelerator and nothing happens for a while (perhaps) a second or so and then "wham", it sets off so violently it nearly snaps my neck off. If I roll to a stop and set off straight away it doesn't do this - I'm guessing because it's still engaged.
If I roll to a stop and leave it a few seconds (like traffic lights), even if I leave it in gear (i.e. not Neutral) it still pauses and then sets off rapid.
Anyone else got this or know of a way around it? Perhaps it's just technique so if some of you seasoned GT-R owners know the answer please let me know!
Thanks in advance,
Ian
