Yea the labor is definitely not cheap to install cams, but it would be sick to have one lol.

If you have UPREV, you can set Map 2 to run on 93 and Map 1 on E85. So when the E light turns on, head to the gas station switch to MAP 2 and pump 93.

Gotta love Cali, all we get is **** 91

DIY Catch can complete . I'm surprise how much oil it spits out on the driver side after 1 night in Mexico . I didn't have a breather plugged in.

Does the GTR engine cover fit too?

Do you have any idea how even the airflow is threw the gtr manifold? I looks like cylinder 3-4 get the most air with 1-2 getting the least amount.

Yup, it does. I was not aware that the rib of the hood is touching the manifold, and it needs to be cut or modified. I'm putting in a carbon cover over it.

The_Assassin

wow great build man will follow this closely. I too have been having idling issues since january. Unfortunately I cannot seem to be able to fix it. Tried to relearn but the ICU wasn't accepting it any thoughts ?

HRMoneyPit

Ugh. You make me want to do this so bad. Maybe in a year when your tired of this car I'll buy your old parts

Wow thats super uneven. Any way to improve it?

Yea it is, the only way to improve it is to replace it with an aftermarket GTR manifold. They run around 2600 to 8k for 1.

lol, i feel you. It took me a couple of years till i started modding my Z. You can do it!

Hey man, I highly recommend bringing to a shop and have them force relearn the ECU with an diagnostic tool. A Snap-on diagnostic (that looks like a tablet) will work. The shop had a Snap on modis ultra and I was skeptical at first that it won't work but it did!

I know the forums says to use Autel or Consult 3 at the Nissan dealership, but I can confirm that a Snap-On diagnostic will work. Majority of auto shop will have a Snap-On tool. I would call around and ask if they have the diagnostic that looks like a tablet and that you want to idle relearn your car.

Where are you getting quoted $2500 for labor alone? Shutoko engineering can most likely do it at that price including the tomei cams. Give them a call they are in La Puente.

HRMoneyPit

Specialty Z wants 2500 in labor alone. Not counting parts or a retune



Back to OP
I've started moving since day one, car should be getting tuned next Friday but I'm lucky if I make 280 wheel full bolt ons, you making 325 is a dream build to me cause I'd love to stay NA

What's your current mod list? I'm guessing the emission and 91 octane is the limitation of your setup. I was able to break 300 with full bolt on and tune before E85.

HRMoneyPit

Ingen dual intakes, Motordyne ART pipes, Motordyne resonated Y pipe and a Tomie Cat back. Along with new valve covers and OEM spark plugs

I've seen HR numbers as low as 275 wheel so just trying to not hope for too much so I don't end up sad in the end

A good tune, you should be around 290-300 with your current mod. It will come down to the temperature and the tuner.

HRMoneyPit

Hot as **** out here in SoCal lol

You might have seen that number on a mustang dyno, I believe OP is on a dynojet. But all dyno's read different and don't go off other dyno #'s and just the peak HP number. I would rather make 10 peak HP less but make more power throughout the power band. It's a waste of money for us to go all out N/A lol but after cams and headers I'm going stillen supercharger next year. Are you going to be doing GTR mani too?
