So I have a 2018 370z Nismo and just got the stillen SC with oil cooler kit and upgraded radiator. The car has 600 miles on it and never had this p0300 code until the shop reported it before picking the Z up after the Stillen SC install. They did a smoke test and there was a small leak on the first cupler from the plenum. Driving home the cupler popped off. I since put on upgraded straps so the cupler no longer pops off when I hit boost but I’m STILL getting this random P0300 code. So annoying. I’m going to test for a leak in the cupler but if there is none I’m guessing it’s the stillen tune. I take my Z in this Thursday to get a custom tune and map from scratch and Dyno. If this doesn’t cure the problem I’m gonna go crazy. Somebody suggested colder heat range plugs w/a tighter gap. Will report back.

I have +1 step colder plugs. It shouldn't be an issue. Tighter gap maybe... but i am getting p0300's at idle on cold starts. Not sure if it is similar to your situation.

Normally I would go copper plugs + 1 step colder with a tighter gap for large boost. Not quite sure for this charger though.
