going back NA any advice

[zuperman 370]

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
