I would be surprised if Nissan decided to make a different TB for the 370z. Vs I was conservative on the guessing |

Decided to ship the Tb's to Maxbore instead of just a polish and profiling of the butterfly shaft that I got. I already have $130 into them but again I thought I was getting porting too!!
Maxbore charges $35 for profiling the butterfly shaft which I believe is for only 1 TB so I'm thinking positively on this and only looking at it as a $70 loss instead of a $130 loss since my shaft is smooth We'll see what they look like when they come back. Again right now the TB is 2.6" at the front lip and tapers to 2.35" at the butterfly plate. Then it goes back up to 2.39" at the back. This is all bad since the manifold is 2.5" so the TB needs to be at least 2.5" also! I emailed Maxbore and he said these would go from 60mm to 65mm the whole way through with a new bigger butterfly. Hope it all works out this time!

Damn syno I didn't realize you were so close to home! How was your experience with IPS? Thought about using them for my retune but idk tuner seemed less than willing to work with me.

I like IPS for some of the people but I don't like in the end its a big business. They tell you love but you don't get any really. No fuzzy feelings, just a nice smile then pay me! The tuner and I have known each other since 09. I try to only talk to him about pricing, what I want, and everything else. I just wish he was back on his own at his little shop down the road.

Yeah that's who it was. His name is bill I think right? Or something along those lines I'm part of the OGC page as well that's how I found about about them. I honestly though up until that point slow motion was the only tuner shop in the entirety of Ohio it seemed.

In the mail.
He made me pay and extra $19 because he says the $179 is a TB with two butterfly's. not two TB's with two butterfly's! Kinda pissed.

Ok TB's are in.
So front lips gone to 2.64" and tapers down into the center but now there's no more lip. The middle went to 2.51" as far as my calipers can get in from the front. 2.49" now on the back lip which now looks port matched to the manifold!!!! I might have a little sanding to do on the mani, won't know till I bolt them up. And as far as I can get in on the back side closest to the butterfly, it's now 2.48"! So before 2.6 to 2.5 but then 2.5 down to 2.35 at the butterfly, then back up to only 2.39 at the mani. Now 2.64 to 2.51 but only down to 2.48 at the butterfly, then to 2.49 at the mani. I wish the new butterfly was knife edged though.
