Sorry to hear your story, but my built engine took over 12 months to be built? I was furious when i saw the same shop spitting out so many built cars while my engine just sitting there collecting dust. Then After I got my engine...it took another 12 months to completely put in and tune 
Hope you will get your car back so you can enjoy it and forget about this waiting.

well the original was flashed by technosquare and crashed, sharif used the one out of his 350z and it worked but the red light on the dash stayed on. I presume he got mine re-reflashed and now it's having this problem. I'm really not educated on the subject except the half paragraph email i've gotten on the issue. I'd be completely fine deleting the nats security ******** and going with an aftermarket system and day if it meant i could have my car back.

Fixed for accuracy. 
I didn't understand it before (or for the most part during) my build either, until I observed what goes on in a shop - you'll see how they work long hours to try to get a job done in time and something keeps coming up... The DIY'ers out there should realize that when you work on your own car, you are devoted to it 100%, but it's a hobby and passion for you. Earning a living doing that is a bit more complicated. It is naive to think that every build will get done in a few weeks. You never hear about all the builds that get done on time - lol.

^ This is just the typical BS that the 350z community has been brain washed to believe. Unless the shop is pulling the motor out and sending it to the machine shop there should not be such a wait. It's amazing what some people are willing to put up with. It aqlso makes you think that some places may have some financial problems needing the funds from one job to do another.

Well i emailed them and am awaiting a response, we'll see what they say. It's a little disheartening that i have to do the legwork on this.

The NATS problem you people are talking about can only be fixed by a dealer. With Consult2. I had this happen and there is no work around or a magic ground wire. Of course the NATS failure happened to me while I was driving the and also burnt out an injector driver on the ECU. So you may be looking at 1200$ for a new ecu. The BCM and the ECU share a data link, when the nats failure happens it severs communication to the ecu. The tech that did mine was a retard he went to UTI. I had to print the page in the FSM and take it to him.
When I had my engine built by Todd at Built Z Motors it took a little longer than expected but I also had to have a head heli coiled and welded. Took 2 months for him to build the engine and put it in the car and me to pick it up. But we also had to wait on parts, and he had to find someone to weld the head.
I think I would be pissed off if someone had my money and my car for a year. That is insane. I could understand it if you were doing some kind of restoration project. But come on a year?

Also be fixed by a dealer? You just said there is some supposed company that can flash the NATS out. Where out of the BCM? Uprev can't even do this. If your going to "fix" a post at least explain yourself.... I highly doubt you have a consult2 laying around in your shop.

there is a company, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtcCPtLBXvI theres the vid of it. contact them.
VQ35DE motor on the ground with a Z-Fever tuned ECU. All security features removed so no BCM / IPDM / NATS systems needed. Power and ground to make it run. E throttle kept. This makes it a very easy swap into any chasis. We do all harness conversions work and ECU work in house.
also, consult 2? consult 3 has been out for a bit and we are thinking about getting it for the shop. thanks though.
