I don't think it's possible yet for any auto transmission modifications due to the fact it has the tiptronic built in to the transmission. I don't think anybody/manufacturer has touched upon the new technology. Besides, I think the transmission with the tiptronic is pretty good already.

By the way, do you have any pictures of your Blitz Sus Air Filter installed. I been thinking of getting that done to my Z. Thanks.

I tried contacting numerous torque converter companies for a higher stall converter. The only problem is that they don't have anything for the Z, but they are willing to do some prototyping. For now, you might want to slap in a tranny cooler.

I don't know if you can do this to the Z's auto tranny, but I know on the Maximas, a really common/popular modification for the auto trannies was to get the valvebody recalibrated. This makes the auto tranny shift much faster w/ less delay, it also shifts more agressively.

I tried searching for feedback on the technosquare ecu flash for 5AT's, but I can't seem to find any.

I'm wondering how similiar the Q45/M45's 5AT is to the Z's. More specifically, I'm wondering if the Q45/M45 has a different "shift feel" than the Z. Do they have the same tranny ECU? If so, do they have the same programming?

they definitely have a different programming, different engines. VK45DE

level 10 = danger. MY last car was a honda prelude turbo charged with an auto tranny spent 2500 on level 10 rebuild ie. pts shift kit new torque converter labor tranny cooler. Lasted 3 weeks and 800 miles. Then bye bye tranny. I would have been cheaper to do a 5 spd swap. ( its to bad there isnt a smiley kicking its self in the ****.
