The drive home was horrifying with the damn 101 traffic but it was all fun even my girlfriend enjoyed the run.
hey skar, I didn't make it all the way to the restaurant. rode with you guys till the 101. sorry but I wasn't very social that day. kinda pulled an all nighter and was pretty tired. I'm the guy with the SS w/gunmetal GTCs, wearing a cap and red T-shirt. Think I'm in one of the pics posted. I saw you there though w/your lady.

The wife and I had a great time. It was great meeting all the new folks, and seeing all the "old timers" again.

I really feel bad about the parking situation at the pier. When we were there the last time, the lot was empty. Oh well...

The drive home was pure agony. Over 2.5 hours back to the southbay. Luv Montreal and I shadowed each other back home.

Lets do something again soon!

Hey Jeff, don't feel badly about the parking. I'm glad people had a good time despite the separation and little glitches. What's important is that we all had fun.

Man... i really wished I could have made it out for this cruise. I love SB. But I'm up in the Bay area for work =(.
Looked like it was a great turn out. Hopefully next time I can make the run

Technosquare will flash the ECH as long as it's an 03 Z. I don't know if they have the 04 flash ready yet...

Technosquare is in Torrance...

04 flash is ready. I believe Mr. Twisted was the first to have it done. Had some issues but I guess they worked it out.

FYI I just emailed Technosquare...here is what they said.

We have numerous flashes so there should be something that will offer good performance for your car. If we find it within parameter, that will be the flash we will stick with. If not, I will alter it little by little until I am happy with the results.
We require appointments and it should take no longer than 2 hours time to tune the car. You can even stay and wait if you wish. We need a couple of days ahead of time for appointments.

That sounds great, custom tuned ... does this mean that if someone is to get more mods in the future, that it will have to be re-tuned, or will it become a more adaptive program (like the 03 reflash)? I plan on remaining naturally aspirated.

On a typical day, if I bring my car in in the morning, would you be able to do the tuning in a day's time? What about appointments? Since you're talking about custom tuning, I take it that it's not going to be a simple 20 minute reflash...

I have read your website a few times, but I'm not sure from what you're saying if the program you sell for the 03's applies here.

Mike

P.S. I don't suppose there's a discount for my350z.com members?

What is the deal with 2005 350z's? Are you guys doing the reflash for us or only the 03 model? If I get some simple breathing mods such as high flow cats and exhaust, will you guys custome tune the ECU for the same price as a reflash? Will it make the ECU more mod friendly as the 03 reflash is supposed to?

Thanks,
Mike
