Default going back NA any advice

After months of thinking and weighing my options I have decided to go back to my NA setup, my current setup is GTM stage 2 sc although the unit is running perfect what ultimatly drove me to this decison is tunning issues as the lack of good tuners for 370z fi cars here I have not been enjoying the setup like I thought I would and am ssing drivabity problems pop up due to tunning issues I suppose so before anything worse happens decided to end the hineymoon that could turn into a nightmare and return to na and I know no matter what I do to the z wont ever feel like my gtr so thats what made my decison easier, so now that im going down this path any advice from my fellow forum members or ppl the went down my same path and yes that means pretty soon there will be a gtm stage 2 sc on the market for sale so will start to entertain offers so those that might be interested are welcomed to p.m me

I completely feel you on your reasons. I just sold my whole car and started from scratch. I saw you looking for long tubes. Of.course I'm partial to PPE's, there are at least a couple good options now days. Z1 has their modified VHR manifold too. I'm not sure how far you want to go with NA mods, but after doing the standard breather mods, you can look at reducing rotational mass. I bet buying two piece rear rotors will show measurable improvement.

Have you ever entertained the thought of E-Tunes? I have Ecutek and am located in the the state of Illinois. However my tuner is located in the state of Texas. All tune updates are done via email. He sends me a tune file, I download it on my laptop take it to my car and upload. Very easy and intuitive.

This can be accomplished with FI cars as well. Perhaps you then can get the car dialed in the way you want and do not need to go back to NA?

Just and Idea.

That does complicate things for you. That explains the interest in an etune. Good luck.
