Note: Okay to turn off for MT, but not so good for AT. Seems to put more strain on the trans during shifts.
it is under "settings".. and not under throttle menu

Default global ETC off

I've also been told by Mark@Abbey Motorsport (UK) that ECT off cannot be done for one map only but is a global setting.
I wish it wasn't true

Good to know about the ATs. Maybe that is why Omar was quick to say that it was a nogo. My maps are locked from UPREV anyway AND I am no where near my car to test the theory.

After trying all the maps except the Awgd8 blend 2/3 map (thought i loaded it but i didnt), here is my feedback. Bear in mind that this is my daily car, 6MT and i drive pretty sedately but like to make sure the Z gets some respect at the lights.

wstar smooth throttle: Improvement over stock, too smooth for my likings. For those who have followed my lengthy random loss of throttle response posts, i think this map is the cause of all my grief and pointless searching. No discredit to wstar at all, but after switching for the Awgd8 maps i've clocked 1200 faultless kilometres. It was very weird because i ran the wstar map for ages then all of a sudden the throttle started acting up and required a restart to cure. It got so bad that even a few minutes after a restart it would act up. Then it became every time i drove more than 20mins. It went to the dealer, they couldnt find anything but it didnt come back for almost 2 weeks then it came back. Then it became really random. Anyway, i'm glad to be enjoying my Z again.

Awgd8 v1: Improvement over wstar's map, more pokey but it made me crave more.
Awgd8 v2: This is my favourite. It rips hard from 2200rpm upwards. Screams by 3000rpm and really wakes up the intakes and exhaust.
Awgd8 v3: Similar to Awgd8 v1 in normal street driving. Pretty strong and keen from mid to high rpm. But the low rpm range of this map just doesnt have the punch of v2. I will load the blend map in a few minutes and give it a run.

Thanks to everyone for their contributions to thia valuable thread!

I am surprised that it worked out for the manual. Did you try turning off the Electronic throttle control via uprev? I heard this is way better performance if your car is Manual. So basically, when you turn it off, you are not using any of our Throttle Mapping, but direct 1:1 from pedal position and throttle opening...

I have been using my MAP 2/3 blend for a while now. I specifically created those AWGD8 maps for my 5 speed A/T 2008 EX35 VQ35HR crossover. Some members here used the map I made, but it could only be felt the difference on the Auto tranny. For Manual tranny, the majority feel the best improvement if they just turn off the Electronic throttle Map setting via Uprev.

after trying them all, i still like map 3 the most. it has a bigger pickup and kick in the rev range i usually drive in (up to 3200ish rpm). i'm going to have to learn how to create my own map. I am aware of the ETC off mode but i like the electronic aids (traction control and cruise control, SRM)

I remember I made Map 3 for more low end torque and midrange power, but for my car, it seems like the top end flats out a bit that is why I made the blend 2/3. (Map 2 has a better high end and Map 3 has a better lowend to mid. )

BTW, I made changes to my 2/3 BLEND, but not much. I also added a few pressure on the AT line. (Smoother AT shifting engagement).

I'd like to try. Can both of your maps be used on 370Z AT?

You can try it. It should work for the G35/37/350Z/370z

This is just an electronic throttle tweak.

Let me know what you think?

Hi ther to you all.
I like to understand what will be the best file to use with my car.
My car is 370z manual transmission with gtm stage 2 supercharger, with 11psi pulley.
Is there anyone that have the same setup and use one of the maps?
