My oil temps run around 200-220 this time of year up here on my g. I have an oil cooler though, 240 is pretty hot especially for winter. Probably want an oil cooler by summer. I can access my filters by taking off the corner under panel ofvthe wheel well. I am sure the z is different, but may be worth a look. I called around locally, and no one was familiar with uprev locally, closest reputable one was in portland. Iiltech in bellevue said they could work with it, but i have heard some bad reviews of thier service. Did the uprev cable come with the car? If so, hook it up, take some logs and send it sam at gtm. He should be able to tell if anything major is out of line. In had my tt tuned at thier shop in socal, and it runs perfect up here all year.

I bought the car from a young couple who only had it for 6 months. They only put about 1500 miles on it and couldn't afford it anymore. divorce yada yaday... Wife worked at a Toyota dealer where it was traded in by the original owner and installer of all the equipment. The young couple bought it before it went up for sale at the dealer. The couple really only knew it had a twin turbo. They know nothing about cars. I doubt if a Toyota dealer would take a trade without checking the car out or selling it to one of their employees and giving them a 3 year warranty. You never know though. This car was VQstrykers car on this forum. I only figured this out while researching 370's on the internet. It's odd that Stryker would spend all the money and do all that work then trade it in, but I have heard of odder things. Stuff happens. You can still look up his profile and all about the car on this forum. It's a 2010 base with less than 19000 miles. I paid a few thousand over retail book for the car and it does not have a scratch on it. I felt sorry for the kids because the had a hunk to pay off after I bought it. A few grand for all the mods, TT, 3" exhaust -not cats, 650hp clutch, LSD Diff, gauges and install, was worth it. If I have to put a little money into it to fix what is wrong, it's not going to be a big deal.
Anyway I have an appointment at Zsports in Everett who have been Dyno tuning for 20 years and who the owner raced cars for Nissan. I'm not too worried about the issues and appreciate your ideas and suggestions so far. I will be taking some of your suggestions to the next level. Thanks

Greedy, I did not get the uprev cable. That is one thing on my list and probably the cipher software. I think an oil cooler is probably a must. However, why doesn't GTM highly recommend or add one to their turn key kit ? Tower74, the kits have the 600cc injectors that come with the standard GTM stage II kit. Don't know what plugs are in there but I would imagine that they may have been replace in June of 2012. No cats. AFR seems to be running at the appropriate ranges. 1st thing I thought might be a plug or coil. Zsport should be able to figure out that one. Baer383. Thanks for the oil tip, I just order the sample kit. Car is at 9.5psi, dyno 433 in June 2012 with wheels slipping. Thanks Elperuano for the oil response.

If they were replaced there is a good chance they threw some cheap asz plugs in the car, not know that it needs high end plugs. Still the random misfire is something to worry about. If this is your only car I would only use when you have to drive it. You could compound the problem. Good to you found the former owner. Good luck
