I was wondering if anyone might have these problems, there not that big, but it kind of gets on my nerves. I understand its not a stock Z anymore. I have a greddy kit, with a HKS FCON VPRO, full exhaust.

1. My car idles for chit, it doesnt die or anything, just chatters some time's. I was told to have nissan raise the idle, is this correct??

2. My exhaust is "y" pipes single shot out, i have started to notice, black residue from the exhaust, my car runs really rich. I dont mind cleaning the bottem of the bumper everyday, I wish someone would make like a carbonfiber panel to put by it

3. If you have a full exhaust, doesnt it suck when you got the windows down at the light? The exhaust smell, well i bought some strong *** cologne for that-solved

other than that my car is now labled a "beast' i finally raced about every car i wanted to kill on my listed, and either killed or pulled
1. STI (got beat so bad, this is why i went TT) killed by 4 lengths on the highway, ide post the video, but i walk him so bad it doesnt even look like a race.
2. Pulled on a older viper
3. pulled past a ferrari modena and f355
4. any finally last night to a www.dallasimports.net meet THE new z06, giggley-giggley-giggley-oh riiiight~! Well, we took off, he actually got a little start on me on the hwy from a 50 punch, pulled on him by about a length. IM AM SATISFIED, PERFORMANCE WORK=DONE=SAVED $$$

So my experience, with the greddy kit, Jotech motorsports, HKS tuning?? Well worth every penny, im almost on a year on the greddy kit, going strong *knock on wood*. Would i again?? You bet your left nut.

Well for my My Z is FINITO, thank you JOTECH, Tony, Nick, Kenny, and of coarse the guys in the limelight justine and willie

OLY CHIT those are HOT!

 

oh hell yeah, problem 2 solved, i know this will sound stupid. Can i only just buy one??
Geez, i though i was done with this money monsta, AHhhHh its always just one more mod~!!! I like that whole body kit!!! The heatshields look real cool, is there a way to take off the, other pieces by the shield (ide keep it if i had the whole kit) wanna make a deal??? PM me

 

I had my ECU flashed to raise the idle by Technosquare. Kenny can have this done for you. Nissan cannot raise your idle with the VPro. I tried it a while ago with no success.

 

reseting the ecu helped my idle problems and mine were alot worse than yours, in my car it would actually shut off a bunch.

 

The heat shields are a seperate piece from the diffusers. I have them, see my other posts.

 

For #1, Nissan raised my idle, and that helped, even though my idle wasn't bad too bad.

 

Serious? Damn kenny told me to go to Nissan, lol So i gotta spend about 600.00 at techno for a reflash?? sunnabiotch~!!!!
thanx for the heads up with nissan, saved me some cash, i owe you beers.

 

You can get idle raised with out reflashing the ecu, so Im pretty sure it will be a lot cheaper than $600...just get in touch with them and ask them.

 

Techno charges about $200 to raise you idle...

 

How high are you guys raising your idle? whats acceptable?

 

I believe Nissan can only up the idle on 2003 models. if you have a 2004 on up you have to do it through a Technosquare reflash.

 

i have a 03, i know t32gzz and Ellas1, i have a similar set-up ( no-built motor ) to them. Im pretty sure t32gzz has a 03, like mine, If it didnt work for him, its not gonna work for me. Thanx for taking one for the team, Tim~! Thats freakin stupid IMO 200.00 to raise the idle and like 600.00 for a reflash?? Its not like, one takes more time to do, than the other (maybe 2 seconds). I swear, just because we got Z's......translated "charge 3x the amount it should be". Sometimes i miss my acura, Too bad the chic's don't think the same way Re-flash here i come~!!

oh and Ellas1 the GTC's are back on, WOW...big difference

 

you know what you want? 5 gears instead of 6!

wanna trade pumpkins?

 

Congrats bro!!! I got use to the smell and seeing fast cars go down is a solid trade off for the smell!!!

 

Mine is set at 1000 RPMs. The only reason you should ever need to raise it is if you add cams though.

 

i would do that

 

I'm having mine set to 850 rpms, just to get rid of that flywheel chatter on idle.

 

I have a 04 model and found an 03 ecu which drops in place without any noticable difference. We then used the Nissan tool (forgot the name) to raise the idle.
