In have put about 1600 miles om the car since I got her back. The tune is great, the power response is instant, it drives and shifts smooth, and feels like it came from the factory this way. It's hard to keep traction in 1st and 2nd at WOT. FI is a blast! Like I said before my only complaint is the injectors are loud. We all know the factory injectors are loud so we you upgrade just be prepared for a little louder ticking. The SRM works perfect, the gauges are perfect, don't know what else you are looking for. I don't want to drive another NA Z again.

lol.. thanks for the response... I don't wanna drive an NA Z period!

I know some people were a little turned off by the whole Forge and GTM thing, but honestly don't let that scare you, yes there are some gambles, but if you find a place that will do it right, it's very rewarding and fun.

As long as there is one node to terminate that canbus line it should work, otherwise you can use some terminating resistors at the end of the line or disconnect the entire line starting at the source.

when are you going to take it out to the 1/4 mile and see what she can do and set a 370z record time and speed!!!!

As for the mechanical sounds, I love all of them.

Well I took the ride to Zdayz, almost 20 hours round trip, plus a couple of runs through the Dragon , and the Skyway. All I have to say is wow, those roads are amazing, the views are just breath taking. The car ran like a champ! 6.5 hours was my longest run with out a stop. She ran like a dream at 78mph. I have found that my tires are rubbing a little on aggressive turns. So I am assuming its from the added weight up front and the wider tires as well. I know Sharif is running this set up but with coilovers , so he is probably got a stiffer set up with less body roll then me. I showed sharif where it was rubbing, I will have to get coilovers down the road. I do know that better brakes is a must for those roads. I also had to turn my SRM off half way through the dragon. 2nd gear downshift would just surge in hard hair turn pins. Almost like it was accelerating when I let out the clutch. I noticed it more on down hill hair pins. Then on level hard down shifts to second it was like the RPM's could have been another 500 higher. It would jerk as soon as I let out the clutch. So I just ran without the SRM for the rest of the trip. I am not sure if the tranny was just to hot and it was messing up?? Who knows. I can see if you are running those roads a tranny cooler would come into play. But other than that the car pulled hard and handled well. I would encourage everybody to come down atleast one year... that was hella fun!!!

awesome, how did the engine oil temp hold up?

FuszNissan · 05-24-2010, 05:13 PM

Engine temp was never over 115 Celsius on the dragon. When on the highway it was about 90-100. I would definitely say the oil cooler was a plus!
