Final Part 4 So now I'm home. I get to enjoy the car at my pace and on my own. I'm launching, trying out the neat Ecutek features like Launch Control, No lift shift (oh my god my favorite) and just having a blast with the car. She's running exactly as she should. Then my check engine light comes on. Missfire. Dammnit. Clear it as she's running fine. Another 75 miles, CEL. F$cker. I hate you, it's like a middle finger staring back at you. The car is running great, but the engine keeps picking this damn thing up. Tony and I spend quite some time on the phone with myself and with Ecutek trying to figure this out. Unfortunately Nissan has made some changes this model year and some troubleshooting is now at hand with ecutek. Being one of the first on the tune and the newest model, this is a bit expected. Then next thing I know while boosting, I'm starting to run lean. By now I'm down in the dumps. I've been babying the hell out of this thing and now here I am with a "FU light" and a lean issue. So I start doing some data logging, sending it to Tony. He's talking with his Tuner (specialty Z) and Ecutek. I'm super busy with work at the time that we decide it's time to go on a road trip to Cali so he can have the car for a few days and I fly back. Tony steps up and decides he's paying for my full flight back, to and from. Awesome! And again, this is quite expected sometimes when you are the "first" of really anything. I drop off the car, after a 6 hour trip and no joke, I pull into the parking lot and my car shuts off and won't start. The Fuel pump just went out. Unreal. Holy freaking Crap. Aeromotive is an incredible company too. Just a fluke crazy situation and we really don't know why it was causing any issues. We replace the fuel pump and Tony gets to work. I fly home, 2 total weeks later and many many hours with Ecutek they figure out the misfire and she's back to being the monster I wanted her to be. I fly back, get my keys and drive her home. Absolutely no charge for all the extra work that had nothing to do with Tony, completely out of his control and for one, the radiator (which I was reimbursed in full for) that I specifically selected, no charge for, the guy wanted me to have the car of my dreams and was not going to let anything get in the way of that.

I strongly believe every car that you go to literally DOUBLE the power to is going to have it's bumps. If you want something that's going to never have any obstacles, especially in the beginning, then don't go boosted. Put on your intake and continue to get beat

Seriously though I must say this is MILES ahead of the experience than my 3 other boosted cars. Not only in the performance aspect but the customer service. Fast Intentions literally treated it as if it was their own car and stopped at nothing to take care of me and my baby. The day after I got home I took her to the track (track day bro!), 20 min circuit course sessions that were just an absolute blast. The car performed flawlessly. My first car meet, then a 1/2 mile track, I'm shocking people, pulling on Zr1s, being interviewed by Super Street themselves, this is a freaking absolute dream, only this time I wasn't waking up. My damn cheeks hurt from smiling too damn much and that's how I know it's reality. After this experience, I will say there is NO other option. Fast Intentions is the ONLY way to go. Their products are holding up better than some of the most prestigious companies in the world, it's everything you need to create a beast, and best of all, their customer service is second to none. If you want more proof, go check out my videos on this forum. Many more to come bc I can't get enough of this incredible machine. Join the Brotherhood, and I can't wait to take the trip to meet you there when you get your keys for the first time.

Awesome review....Wow...I didn't know that you went through all that....It seemed that your transition was flawless....None the less the experience that you had from Tony and the F.I. Crew made up for it and practically made it flawless....Mad Props to them for doing all of that to keep their customer happy....

So you never went with the CSF Triple Pass Radiator upgrade and stuck to your Nismo Radiator? How is that holding up in the AZ Heat and tracking the car?

Hotrodz · 12-27-2015, 07:54 PM

I have been boosted for two years here AZ with the stock radiator with zero issues during days from to 124. My oil temps maxed at 245* when stopped in traffic and then fell to 225* when traffic started moving at 45 mph. And that was with the AC on max.

Thats very impressive since ur in AZ as well.....It's really good to know this.....I always thought that going boosted would require the upgrade of a CSF 3 way pass.....I've read about issues the CSF has had with the A/C....mostly leaks from seals etc.....was this one of the reasons why u didn't go for the upgrade HotRodz? I've been on the fence on this upgrade but this particular issue of not being reliable with the A/C Condenser has prevented me from pulling the trigger.

Hotrodz · 12-28-2015, 07:50 AM

Honestly I just followed the advice of my installer and tuner. The triple bypass was not out when my tt was installed. He said lets not mess with it until we need too and he just adjusted the fan duty cycles. Then when the triple bypass came out there were all the issues with it and I asked him about it again and he said he didn't believe there really is that much to gain on tt, because the size and proximity of the radiator to the enter cooler. Because of this the air flow is blocked and or restricted, so I have not seen a need to do anything different so far. I think there are other options to explore like water weter if the need arises. I don't run her hard when temps start to climb above 90 anyway. Why go looking for trouble.

GeauxTigers1 · 12-28-2015, 02:24 PM

Agreed with HotRodz. I was all about upgrading the radiator, but since being back I have not seen a single difference with the stock radiator. It stays right at the temps it needed to when it was stock, and that's including track time. I'd save your money and keep the stock radiator.

BOLIO 671 · 12-29-2015, 02:39 AM

Thanks for the insight from both of u....I too was just considering running my stock until it needed a replacement and then going with the upgrade then. ...

Ya, I saw your Z and I thought "This car looks familiar, I just read his thread" lol. And it's a shame what happened to the lambo. I guess they pushed it past the limits. Anyways, Congratz on the feature, You represent the FI TT well!
