Is it tuned?

[zeetwentyeight]

Alright so i bought my 98 z28 m6 last year.
The skip shit is turned off and the governor as well
Does it require a tune to turn off the skip shift and what not?

[shady milkman]

yes..or you can get a thing to plug in that eliminates it...but the usually is getting it tuned...and if your governor is upped then yes you got yourself a tune

[zeetwentyeight]

Cause i have buried that spedo.
i need to find out what it has

burying the speedo isnt shit really. the stock limiter is about 162-68. so you will have to have that speedo buried for a long time.

I have heard this as well, in fact, it takes a GPS device to get a good idea of how fast your going.

There's a plug and play eliminator for the skip shift, as well as a cheap alternative too, aside from tgetting the car tuned.

These may help to see if you have the cheap version, or the $30 version skip shift. (if neither is present, I would assume you have a tune)

I went and talked to the lady who sold it to me just now.
Her husband is the one who drove it and everything but he has been in prison which is why the car got sold.
But she will be giving me a call when she gets a phone call from him either today or tomorrow i kind of home it doesn't have a tune so i can just just do the one i want.

You can go out and look at it right now and see if has the skip shift elimintor. I guess even though it may have the eliminator installed, that doesn't mean he didn't get it tuned.

Is it on that link you posted that can tell me where to look?

Yessir! The whole website is very useful

Where are you at where you can drive 160+ MPH for 30 seconds? Seems kind of foolish to me.

Cool im going to be under it tonight ill take a look.
Its looks like something that would stick out like a sore thumb though.

When I bought my car, the skip-shift was off. I had mine tuned and I found out the previous owner had installed an eliminator. I pulled out the eliminator and tossed it as the tune disabled it...and it was burnt.

What's the skip shift?
I remember seen that on my z28 bt I never knew wat was it
wat is it for?
Thanks

[cammed goat]

It's programmed into the computer at the factory to keep you from shifting from 1st to 2nd at speeds under...I THINK...40mph. Any speeds under than that, the computer prohibits you shifting from 1st to 2nd and instead, you shift 1st to 4th. It's to conserve fuel. BAH!!!

[cammed goat]

And on the GTO and I think Vette, there is a light that reads "1->4" on the dash when you shift.

[98maro]

Ohhhh interestin
I remember seen dat on my z28 on the 1 I have now it dnt have it
I can se dat light from 1-2 gear
thanks for the answer

Diz cars have governor?

[zeetwentyeight]

It's a range of % of throttle while in first gear. Somewhere around 25-35% activates the skip shift.

That doesn't mean your car wasn't tuned, I think only tuner will be able to tell you if it is or isn't though.
