Never knew owning a TT Z could be this stressful.
Unichip and idle

Tried UTEC, wasn't as good as expected, idle kinda sucked, went back to Unichip which is actually more driveable. Will upgrade to Fcon this spring when funds allow.
My advise , save up you beans and spring for an FCON.
BTW, my silver G is currently at Zcar thru Mon., if you wanna compare idle quality.

For those who asked...hes he does have cams. This is the same car that member "marluci7" had...the Scott Performance tuned "700rwhp" beast right before bigbri. Go figure.

so i'm guessing in the meantime, i should just bump the idle up a bit? say around 1000 to 1100 rpms? i just don't want to stall anymore coming to a stop and having to turn on my hazards and let people pass me. makes me look like i drive a piece of sh**.

Might want to have the ECU flashed for the injectors only . Then tune it with what ever EMU you have . I did it for my 550 injectors because I couldnt get them to idle and start right with my SS box . After the flash , idle and start up are great .

It does , since it drives and scales down the injectors, The unichip accomplishes the function by fooling the MAF signal to the OEM ECU.

Do you think an F-CON would solve my issues with driveability? i don't know, i guess i'm happy with the power it puts out, it's just the fact that i'm stressed out everytime i see a stop light up ahead. 
please share your similar experiences and/or comments.
please share your similar experiences and/or comments.I sent it again to Technosquare and asked them to raise the idle to 1,000 rpms... And no issues since (and that was like over a year now).
Spend the $600, and get your rev limit increased/speed limiter removed/raised idle like through Technosquare or AAM.

Yup, $50.

here are more features..

Right now you can only buy the new Q or Q+ unichips the older "classic" is not longer sold unless the distributor has old stock. SO if you buy a Unichip it will more than likely be a Q or Q+
UniQ p/n 2340011 List price $994.37 good for 350Z and G35
UniQ+ p/n 2350011 List Price $1305.48 good for 350Z and G35
Both are good for NA and also for FI with the addition of the turbo module list price of $ 134.07
The UniQ+ comes with PDA software and harware to hook up a PDA to it and use some additional features:
Performance calibration selection from 5 engine performance maps
- Allows the user to have and select different engine calibrations based on octane levels or installed aftermarket components. Examples: Different hardware configurations (Map 1 – stock, Map 2 Injen CAI, Map 3 – Injen CAI + Cat/Back, etc…) or for different performance settings (Map 1 – 92 Octane, Map 2 – 100 Octane, Map 3 – 92 Octane + Nitrous 75 shot, etc…)
Bluetooth TM wireless connection
- Anytime the Flux PDA is inside the car, it can communicate with the Unichip wirelessly via Bluetooth TM… The PDA can be dash mounted, sitting on the seat, or in the user’s pocket- anyplace in the car. State and Local Laws may prohibit use while driving.
Vehicle Immobilizer
- A PIN protected code prevents the car from being driven when the Vehicle Immobilizer is enabled. The specific mechanization will varies by application, but the car will either not start or will die immediately after starting. UI is essentially identical to a desktop’s screen saver. If someone tries to steal the car, there is no apparent reason (no lights, noises, etc…) why the car is not drivable.
OBD II DTC reading and clearing
- The user can read and clear pending and active diagnostic trouble codes. Works the same as individual tools costing hundreds of dollars.
Data logging
- The user can select up to six channels of data from a Flux provided list to display and record data like rpm, vehicle speed, intake temperature, coolant temperature, EGT, knock sensor response, ignition timing, fuel trims, transmission slippage, etc… Not all options are available on all applications because some vehicles don’t have the required sensors.
Performance calculation and display
- Flux will calculate, display, record, and export data of horsepower and torque from 2000 rpm through engine red line.
- Flux will display a drag strip Christmas tree light sequence and then calculate, display, record, and export reaction time, 60-foot time, elapsed time, and trap speed.
- Flux will calculate, display, record, and export 0-60 mph time, 0-100 mph time, 0-60-0 time, 0-100-0 time.
Vehicle adjustments
The user can correct speed reading for aftermarket wheels & tires
Live data display
The user can monitor various performance parameters in real time on a digital and normalized analog display. The options under live data are the same as those data logging.
