Default RT Tuning/UpRev Standard/E-Tune Review

Hey everyone, my name is Max, and I drive a Solar Orange 2007 Nissan 350z Enthusiast. I love my car, and bought it from a guy in Denver last May. The car had XXR 522's, Godspeed coilovers, Godspeed HKS knock off exhaust, Spec stage 1 clutch/flywheel, Cusco 1.5 way lsd, Nismo intakes, and Dyno Tuned with a Cobb AP. I love the look of a single, and wanted a crazy loud car. So I purchased Top Speed test pipes(garbage), the Megan 3" y-pipe, and the 3" Drift Spec exhaust. It ran like crap, so I looked into a different tuning option, and found the UpRev was a popular option, and also heard alot of good things about Vince @ RT Tuning, so I gave them a call, and got the ball rolling. I've been a member for quite some time, and post occasionally. I've learned a ton from this site, and wanted to share my results with Vince @ RT Tuning, as he just finished an E-Tune on my car. Pics of my Z.

Vince and I started the Tuning process on (4/9/12) and finished it today, (10/24/12). Vince is a very busy guy, as am I, hence the long time span. I'm a very patient person, so it was no bother to me. Vince is a great guy and is very knowledgeable. The car un-tuned, wouldn't rev past 2300 without the car bucking/ stalling. He fixed that right away and we began tuning from there. In no time, the car was all buttoned up and ran excellent. Pulls very hard from 4000- redline. Hopefully with the install of ART pipes, and a dyno itll move that down a little bit. Overall, I am very happy with the results, and recommend RT Tuning for all your tuning needs. I am from Minnesota, otherwise I would have had Vince dyno tune my car, and still may drive out there in the spring and have him work his magic.

I can post vids of some pulls if anyone wants a few, to hear the exhaust etc..

I heard bad things about godspeed. I learned my lesson on buying knock off parts from ebay... fitment/quality is never good. Nice car though

Yeah the coils/ wheels, and godspeed exhaust were on the car when I bought it. Definitely low quality parts. Soon to be replaced with some KW V2's or Stance GR+. I like the look of the wheels, but want something forged, and a little bigger. 18x10.5 RPF1's on all fours is a possibility. But thanks man. Its a work in progress.

Go with the KWs. V3s are your best bet.
