I'll be shipping the Z back to MA-Motorsports ... they said that they would take care of the issues and assured me that they are minor.
I will most likely upgrade to the Motec M150 ECU when it is down there.
Also thinking of having only a base Tune put in and do the final Tune up here.
JR Tuning (Prime Motorsports) is only a few miles from me.
They now specialize in Subaru's mostly but are also awesome with Nissans.

This might take the load off Carl and hopefully get my car back sooner.

A Motec M150 for the 370z will cost 8 to 10k. The problem is getting a tuner that knows how to tune everything with it. I am not sure if you have looked into what all is involved. I have. It will take someone with knowledge of the platform to tune with it. It will be more difficult to get someone to tune a Motec M150 than the stock ECU on Ecutek on a 370z. I only know of One Twin turbo car that was tuned with a Motec M150 and the guy that wrote the firmware for the M150 did his own tuning. He now works for Motec. It won't pass emission's either. No OBDII port. Not sure if you have to deal with that in your area.

I sure do miss my car. This is starting to really suck.

Thanks Spooler ...
I have checked in to it but always room for more input.
My car failed inspection here in NJ and as it is now it won't ever go thru inspection unless, as one tech put it, I return it to OEM status.
There were a few emissions systems that were removed/disabled (EVAP and EGR) and the Inspection facility could't read the ECU via the OBDII port.
Seems that it is locked out in some way...EcuTek ??? or ???.
Checked in to the Haltech ECU as well ... same situation as the Motec but less expensive.
MA-Motorsports --- Carl --- can tune the Motec.
Ray Shake was supposed to do it this upcoming winter but he has left the company.
Prime Motoring here in NJ (JR Tuning) can also do the Motec Tune.
JR Tuning is very familiar with Motec as he tunes the Subarus.
It's a 17 hour job by the time it is finished...more big BUCK$.
Still tossing this back and forth in my mind...EcuTek or Motec.
Will be waiting to see how it is when MA-M gets the bugs worked out.
Might have to stick with EcuTek although there is no one here in my area that will do a 370z Tune with it...the closest would be RAD or Vinny Ten ... and they are out in Long Island.
Won't go back to Vinne Ten.
All the 'issues' he 'Tuned' OUT of this blue 350z --- he 'Tuned' IN to my car.
Hot start, cold start, misfires, low power, stalling in turns...you name it...
See the link below.

My Z was Stillen Supercharged and tuned with UpRev at the time..
So we will wait and see what MA-M comes up with for now.
Again, I didn't anticipate not having someone up here willing to work on the car if needed.

The guy who reverse engineered everything on the 370z was on here. Vitviper was his username I think. He is the one who wrote the code (firmware) to make everything work as stock with a Motec 150. You can do a search and read the thread.

Spooler · 05-22-2019, 09:12 PM

Here it is.

Vit's FI TT 370Z Lives!

I know Louisville isn't near you, but Hal at Dynosty can tune on Haltech and MoTeC.

In the thread you linked to, you asked what happened to Vit. I believe he went to work for MoTeC about a year ago.

Yes he did. I know where he is. Research my friend. I know a lot more than I say.

Well crap. When Daleon sent an email to ATS to spec the clutch they said I would be fine with a twin disk. Today, we found out otherwise during a dyno session. Ordering additional parts to convert it to a Carbon triple disk clutch. That is the good thing about ATS's kit, it is upgradeable. Just have to order a carbon disk, steel disk, and new pressure plate. MA is pulling the tranny now to inspect what we have to ensure it is OK. Those carbon disk aren't freaking cheap.

On the positive side, it must mean it's making good power.

Besides the extra cost, that should make you feel good. Making progress.

ATS Triple Carbon Clutch kits are very expensive. The twin was expensive also. Ugg, just fix it. It will be worth it in the end.

It does get to that point doesn't it. "Just fix it".
