Working on getting a tune scheduled. Work has got me on the road again though which makes it tough.
Drove the car this afternoon...parked in garage and just checked the floor........all clean.

Chris,
Been awhile since touched base with you. Cant believe your still dealing with oil leaks. My guess its the sandwich plate, using gaskets are not much of advantage when not used in OEM application.
Were the Okada coil packs worth the investment ?
Good luck.

So far no leaks as of the last round of parts
Replaced the sandwich plate.
Will know if the Okadas were worth it once I get a tune. They are pretty though.
Winter is about to hit, no reply from fp. I am thinking wire tuck time.

Chris,
Hit me up if you need assistance with wire tuck. I plan on finally being done with current stage of mods by Christmas.
Was going to put a roll cage in by april but decided to work on exterior cosmetics for now.

^you get her done?
I have been driving the z around some and datalogging a bit. Binder gave me some haltech pointers that have worked out pretty well. Driveability is so much better.
Havent started the wire tuck. Even with time off from work I stay busy, wife keeps me busy, falling trees ect.

the second issues is the cams not being on before i do a WOT pull first. Hopefully i will have that worked out soon.
Neither of those reasons was worth the money i would spend (probably over a grand after i sold my haltech) plus having to learn a whole new software. It also came to my attention that the end user software for the proEFI isn't the same as the tuners use.

no. The only reason i wanted to switch was for the flex fuel situation but now i'm just all e85.

That's really weak that the pro-efi has a different tuning software. I didn't know that either. I have to admit those gauges available for pro-efi are waay sicker than the racepack.

I keep reading about this cam issue on the haltech. Which sucks because I want to run 272's and I feel the more aggressive duration/lift will exacerbate the timing being off... I'll talk to the dynosty guys later this week and see what they have to say (I'll see if the re-flash I want them to do can cover that) and let you know (Although I bet you've already talked to hal about it lol).

From a fresh restart the cams are not active (0* advance). They do not become active until you do a WOT pull all the way to redline. Then they start functioning normally. That's the issue. Doesn't matter what brand, size, duration, etc cam it is. This is only an issue so far with 2003 g35's. I have heard of a few evo's and a 2006 350z that also has this problem (from the haltech forums). it's hard to say how many people really have this issue but never even open a laptop and look while the car is running.

it has nothing at all to do with timing.

Well NOT MY PROBLEM
Jk
That really sucks. How does the car pull on that first initial wot run? I'd imagine not that great.

the only thing affected is spool. Rich has the same problem and his peak numbers were the same. I'm assuming the differences in mine at the top end are due to the clutch slipping.

Huh, well I think mines loaded with 1.08, maybe 1.09 (seeing as I just downloaded the first version I found), but then again it's been a few months since the car has cranked over 
Isn't 1.08 the most proven on the vq though?
PS Damn Cux, I really jacked your thread sorry :P
