Ooo Nice find AK!

Hmm speed limiter increase? I thought I saw somewhere that it was limited by drag not governed.

wow parts for this car is coming out way faster then what the 37 had

Mine's FTW!! I knew they would be the first for an ECM

Wow that's expensive for a flash.

+1 on the drag limited speed. I heard the same thing so not sure how an ecu tweak is going to help that unless by default of it increasing power with the tweaks the top speed goes up slightly? lol Need mo info...

Good info AK

you'll get to the top speed much faster

Wonder how this will compare to a well tuned Accessport map....

looks promising but a little on the pricey side for a flash

That's extremely pricey. Not just a little. I got a guy that will dyno tune for less than that.

You got a guy? hehe

A normal tune at a good shop will cost ~300

i dont think its exagerated one bit...i think ill order it...
Expensive???What most chip do is only adjust air fuel and timing...but remember this engine is REALLY complicated and mines knows these engines technology....so what they do more than normal tuning?
tuning electronic throttle
tuning variable valve timing
tuning lift of valves etc...
kind of things you WANT someone that knoes what they are doing:driving:
So a complicated flash for a complicated engine!
This is no corvette engine

A good dyno tune will cost $600... I can't see how a chip (being a universal tune) would be better than a dyno tune.

I'll wait for cobb. ANd btw the drag limited speed was just a discusion point I don't thing it is a fact for the Z

It's hard to imagine that a car is street-legal these days without a speed limiter in the US. But it's still possible that it doesn't have one.

Even the V6 camaro had a speed limiter! :D (Like at 112MPH or something)

GM limits the cars to what the stock tires are supposed to be rated to. The Trans Ams were limited electronically to 153 on Z rated tires (OEM).

These tires that come on the sport package are R rated. I'd like to see if the Z comes with a limiter because of that fact.

when I get my cobb for the G i will let you know if it is drag limited or not it deff did not feel like it was drag when I had it at 156 mph. so we will see give me until feb when it is suposed to be out for the 09 G

hey, where did it say it was drag limited to 156? a car as aerodynamically slick as the Z with 332hp should be able to go faster than that. That would be my guess.

^^^^ calm down no one said you did. There was another thread were we were talking about the different types of speed limiting and that was a point that was brought up.

Well Car and Driver said it was drag limited. Car and Driver sucks in my opinion

the E46 M3 can hit 175mph drag limited stock.
the new Z should be able to hit between 175 and 185mph.

hell i remember the Z32 was tested and it's limiter was removed and it hit 170mph+.
i believe.

I really honestly believe that it is governed to 160, not drag limited.

350HP got my Trans Am to 180+. That was a 3500Lbs car! I'm sure that 332HP with 300 less pounds could do about the same. (Not to mention that the Z is a lot more aerodynamic.)

Yeah I know. I guess we will just have to find out huh?

Yeah the 345hp C5 Vettes topped out at 177mph if I recall correctly. The V8's in the Trans Am and C5 produce more torque than the Z to go along with that hp so I think the Z aint gonna hit anywhere near 180mph. Not sure of the aero on the C5's but the 370z's .29 COD and 332hp should enable it to hit at "least" 165 to maybe 170mph with no limiter. Assuming the gearing and other variables are in place for that. my worthless 2cents

Zick part.. and gues who has it on their website.

Bwahahahhahaaha... {Dr.Evil Laugh!};)

Well I guess you could look at the 350Z is it limited?

Oh guatantee that the z should be able to go over 160mph ungoverned. Torque doesn't have very much to do at high rpm's at least not as much as horsepower does. Torque is really for off the line and mid range rpm, helps produce horsepower. Horsepower is derived from torque. Only time will tell as the z's start pouring into the showrooms and people start growing bigger and bigger balls.

If this whole speed limiter discussion stemmed from the fact that the flash "increases speed limiter," then please keep in mind almost all cars in Japan are governed to a certain speed by law. So this selling point is mainly for the Japanese audiance.

My 03 Eclipse GT isnt speed limited it takes forever to get up there but I have had it to 142. I will try to look for it but on the Club3g.com board I'm a member of there was something saying that domestic cars have governors on them besides the boutique vipers and such. I look for it.....

In japan all cars regardless of their make or model have a speed governed to 110mph so the police can catch them. Then they buy the reflash or get a governer eliminator and then they go 170+.

I know it is being stated that this unit is a reflash, and I know it's from Mines so it's going to be expensive. But to me the unit sounds like a tunable ECU much like Hondata (Which is $1,000). I could see the price being justified if that's the case.

yes this is better than any dyno tune out there right now because mines has taken the time to figure out the vvel.

go here for the right page What's New? so whats included:
Specifications are as follows.

・The speed limiter has been removed.
・The rev limit has been changed.
・The injection and ignition map has been changed
to increase the response and fuel economy.

So yeah expensive as hell for 3 hp but id like un speed limit and rev limit to 8000rpm!

HIGHLY doubtful it will reach 185. MAYBE it might get to 170-175. My stock Trans Am put a LOT more power and torque down, weighed a hair over 3500 and was pretty aerodynamic for a muscle car. It'd get to about 180 before drag stopped it from pulling. We're talking at least 40HP and 90Lbs of torque more than the stock 370. Once the car got better gears and stuff, I was putting down about 15% more torque. Still limited to about 183. If I'd gotten the long-tubes, full exhaust, better intake and a tune, I may have gotten it to 190.

your car also had a V8 which makes it easier to reach higher speeds ;)

the current 911 base model carrera reaches 180mph with 345hp.
so with a less restrictive exhaust on the 370z it should be able to reach that speed. not to mention it has more aggressive gearing and a higher redline with the mines VX ROM. i doubt it will be 3hp. it will most likely be a 10-20hp peak gain with much larger gains throughout the power band.

^^^ My point exactly... With headers, better intake, and a good tune, the Z should be able to reach 180.

BTW, my car had 3.73's. The motor didn't work as hard to get me to higher speeds, but I have to admit, around 150MPH I was doing 4000RPM! Not much more room since it red-lined at 6400. I assume I was doing about 5800 when I hit 180... Couldn't tell EXACTLY how fast I was going since my speedo only went to 155.

now do you have a 300zx twin turbo?
it's much easier to reach those speeds with bolt on's on a turbo Z hhehe.

400whp is still accessible from our little T25/T2 hybrid turbos haha.
im hoping for 450whp from my stockers, im also going to be running the stock compression from the NA (10.5:1) ;):driving:

I didn't see this mentioned in the thread yet, but remember, in Japan the standard octane in gas is much higher than even the most premium North American gas.

This was discussed on a GTR forum, namely the JDM R32-R34 GTR's that were being brought over to Canada and the US in droves. JDM ECU tunes will be operating on the basis that you're running Japanese fuel, not North American fuel. You'd have to re-tune the tune to adjust for the Octane deficiency!

JDM Tunes are not only dangerous to use on USDM-bound but Japanese-made vehicles, but they are entirely ridiculous given the access to reasonably priced ECU tunes on our shores.

My advice, take it or not, is that a Mine's or any other companies ECU tune, be it piggyback or reflash will eventually ruin your car, even if you're running 94 octane. Seriously look into ROM Octane conversion charts before buying a JDM Ecu Tune!!!

No. My 90 Z is NA. I bought it when turbos were too expensive for me. I was later going to put in a JDM turbo motor. ($1600 with trans)

But then I saw the 370z and decided to hold off.

lol, this engine is very complicated? Coming from Direct injection, tuning this thing will be cake.
