going back NA any advice
 

After months of thinking and weighing my options I have decided to go back to my NA setup, my current setup is GTM stage 2 sc although the unit is running perfect what ultimatly drove me to this decison is tunning issues as the lack of good tuners for 370z fi cars here I have not been enjoying the setup like I thought I would and am ssing drivabity problems pop up due to tunning issues I suppose so before anything worse happens decided to end the hineymoon that could turn into a nightmare and return to na and I know no matter what I do to the z wont ever feel like my gtr so thats what made my decison easier, so now that im going down this path any advice from my fellow forum members or ppl the went down my same path and yes that means pretty soon there will be a gtm stage 2 sc on the market for sale so will start to entertain offers so those that might be interested are welcomed to p.m me :tiphat:

I completely feel you on your reasons. I just sold my whole car and started from scratch. I saw you looking for long tubes. Of.course I'm partial to PPE's, there are at least a couple good options now days. Z1 has their modified VHR manifold too. I'm not sure how far you want to go with NA mods, but after doing the standard breather mods, you can look at reducing rotational mass. I bet buying two piece rear rotors will show measurable improvement.

Well plan to keep her na hastel free I.e less can go wrong and at a budget as im not willing to spend more on her, just want to drive it hastle free if I want speed can always turn to the gtr lol whats the advantage of ppe over f.i headers

Have you ever entertained the thought of E-Tunes? I have Ecutek and am located in the the state of Illinois. However my tuner is located in the state of Texas. All tune updates are done via email. He sends me a tune file, I download it on my laptop take it to my car and upload. Very easy and intuitive.

This can be accomplished with FI cars as well. Perhaps you then can get the car dialed in the way you want and do not need to go back to NA?

Just and Idea.

Actually yes entertained that but af then enn the wear and tare on the car epesically wifh our low grade fuel here not even an etune can save my car its just awful I know should of thought that through before I went down this path and I did but dint expect it to be this to be this awful

Plus one for the Above, I'm using Motion Lab for an Etune, Granted I'm NA but if I go FI I'm still going with Alex and Todd

Kindly some tuners chime in here before I pull the trigger on this step, id love there advice and k put, a d if fellow members ca also recomend etuners and their exp with etune for fi ur also welcomed with your input plz

What state do you live?

A lot of tuners don't do etunes with Fi'd cars

Thats what I thought too risky unlinke cars tht come fi from factory tuners are reluctant to do after market fi tunes

I live outside the US located in Bahrain

That does complicate things for you. That explains the interest in an etune. Good luck.

Thnk you sir again any tuners or members that deal with tj ers a d have some kind of idea kindky chime in

Check you PM

PM recived thank you sir:tiphat:

Well this makes me feel better about my decision to stay NA. I've got PPE LTH and FI 12" CF on the way. But reading several post, it appears I'll need a tune with these mods. I'll probably schedule Z1 to do the tune...might look into getting their intake manifold installed as well.

I'd love to hear what that sounds like. U have a vid?

Good choice any idea as to when their intake manifold is coming out

Manifold is available

Any notable gains on na

Oh yeah. About 7-10whp on the top end, 3-5whp low to mid

Dost seem worth it yet

It's only $300 if you ship them your core. Or you can port your current one yourself

Contact Joe at Dynotronics. He is a Master Tech Ecutek Tuner. He can tune FI cars as well as NA. Below is his website.

Dynotronics Tuning - ECU Tuning | Flashing | Remapping | Chip Tuning | From Mazda to Kawasaki and More

Check it out. You can purchase right from his website. If you would like to talk to him, call him although he has a toll free number which I would imagine would not work from Bahrain? Send him an email.

I have nothing but good things to say about Joe.

Good luck.

Thank you sir:tiphat:

No I don't have audio/video because the headers and exhaust are still being made. The headers are black ceramic coated with parallel collectors...hopefully they're about another 3-4 weeks out. I'm not sure when I'll receive my FI exhaust; maybe late June early July. Anyway, I'm going to wait until I get the exhaust before I install the headers. From what I've heard so far,the headers are going to be a b***h to install. But I figure I can use the money I save doing the install myself towards a tune and maybe a Z1 intake manifold.

As far as audio/video goes, I'm not YouTube savvy. Maybe I'll hook up with one of the local forum member who is. If I do, I'll post it up.

I'm kind of thinking the same as what you are doing. Have stage 2 SC and I've had nothing but tuning problems with it. Its basically ruined my passion of cars... Its just hard to see something you put so much money into only to have it not run right, if at all.

Exactly you feel me exactly, iv lost the fun factor in my z and much prefered it when was na bolt ons, know might sound crazy to some but thtas how I feel now car is lazy and shifts are slow telling was deffently expecting more

Want to buy SC kit, PM me please :)

Pm sent Sir

And replied! :)

wish I could find one for sale locally :(

I have a feeling (possibly was told in the past sometime) that only the stage 1 and 1.5 GTM SC's will fit RHD. The stage 2 wont.

Don't quote me on that but I'm sure that I heard or was told that at one point.
