Maybe the image is reversed. He thought the blue would look good in the art work and I said yes because I like the kit and I might add I like the brakes I bought there too they are working out well. So Alex send me a catalog man!

2fst,
Since you work for stillen...Could you tell me if there is any truth to the shift kit (stillen is supposedly building) for 5AT's with F/I?

Hey Skidazzle!!! I sent you a PM about getting some pictures of your JL subs. You mentioned that you had more photos than what you have posted in the audio forums. I would appreciate it if you could send me some more photos of your custom box with the 2 JL 8's. Mainly pics of the box would be awesome. My email address is in the PM. Thanks a ton.
sorry to be off topic...

Anyone who has some sort of F/I and a 5AT (automatic transmission), please post here and let me know if you have shifting issues and whether or not you would be intersted in driving your car to TechnoSquare. This would obviously benefit you and everyone else who has any issues shifting in full auto mode.

went to technosquare today so Tadashi could play with ecu on an auto. raised the rev limiter and it seems to shift now with out hitting it. he also played with the drive by wire settings. he said that the ecu starts closing the throttle plate in the upper rpms. that is also why there is a big dip in the dyno charts. i still think that the valve body needs to be modified for firmer and quicker shifts. replacing the torque converter is only going to change the stall speed.

350zer,
Thanks for taking your car to Tadashi. He knows his stuff! Let me make sure I understand your situation. You have the vortech kit (stock injectors and some sort of fmu), you are pushing 350+ rwhp. You have had troubles shifting in full auto mode.... after the reflash how does your car feel? I know you said it still needs a V/B upgrade. Do you feel comfortable flooring your car in full auto mode at any given speed? How about the rest of the reflash? How were the other changes made by the reflash? I can't tell if you were happy by your last post.Also, who is doing the V/B for you?

yeah i think its safe to floor it in drive. it doesn't feel much different. i will go to dyno on monday to see how much a difference the throttle makes. he did something so the timing does not spike at the rev limiter. i drove around for a while in drive and it didn't hit the rev limiter. kind of werd to see the tach go all the way up to 7500 sometimes. he said the tach on autos are off some times by 500 rpm. as far as valve body goes i have to get my car over to the tranny shop so they can modify the valve body. he doesn't have one yet but he is going to use my car for the first one. i think i can trust what he does. i found him i a magazine article as the shop that modified the tranny in a 650 rwhp supra. level 10 is not the way to go. i didn't have any problem with them with my valve body, but your right alot of supra guys did. don't want to give them a second chance on screwing me.

If so I feel very good about that. As for the timing he retarded it, he has got the timing down perfectly on FI after seeing so many cars it only gets better!
TS, larger injectors, can't go wrong man!

Thanks for the review. I'm sorry you don't feel much of a difference with the reflash. Hopefully the dyno will show some gains. Did Tadashi feel comfortable with your fuel supply? I'm assuming he reccomended the PE 380 injectors? As far as the car feeling different, maybe it takes a day or two? Good luck with the V/B upgrade. I would really like to do this as well.

I have heard rumors but hopefully they aren't this bad...
Please tell me you are kidding. You have made 1 post to these forums? How did you even hear about level 10?

Lets get to the bottom of this it is too seriuos of any issue, till then I have to give them the benefit of the doubt unless you give us more info. Like, have you called them etc etc.

yea. i meet up with Tadashi this weekend,
he is going to offer a reflash program for Auto users with FI that will eliminate the sticking shifts.
like it was posted before, the tranny is taking a while to send the signal to the ECU to shift, but by the time the ecu receives the message, the RPMS are already past the red line and it wont shift... so by raising the rev limiter even higher than the 7100 previously set on the manual cars, to 7200, your autos should have no problem anymore..

Hey the new poster Kim from Sapain has PM'd me with enough credible information for me to believe that Level 10 is not commuinating with him on his tranny.
He has come here for help, he has mentioned DHL tracking info and is not in the states and has given the Tech name at L10 as "Sam." I only know a John there and I have an email into him.
Since VBU is a hot topic right now and Scott (whosdaddy) released new info that they had *not* really done a 350Z as they originally claimed I think as forum members we should try and help our out of country Z owner who has a DHL tracking # cLear up the confusion as to where his parts are. If it was our Z we would be wondering too agreed? It easily could have been!
Agreed?
Who wants to call Level 10? The order is being handled by "Sam" and the person stating no contact for 3 months is Kim (Nitrous350)
It should be real easy to straighten this out, let's do this ok? I have my email out to my mailing list, maybe someone can call them tommorow? PM me and I will forward the info I have or PM Nitrous350 because I believe him, his english isn't perfect but that isn't a reason not to help him, I understand that he is mad that part is clear enough. Let's find out why. Maybe it is an oversite and easily fixable ya know?
Peas!
