Don't drive in the snow! I almost died last week. Weather man said it would snow I. The evening, and it started at 10 am while I was at work. Took me 2 hours to get home. Did a 720 trying to stop in traffic, luckily no one was close to me. Car is in the garage until this weather clears for good!

What do you guys think about the standard uprev since I only have bolt ons? That is $500 for the license and cable... so I would download the software, install it on a windows laptop/tablet, hook the cable to the laptop then to the obdii input, upload the e-tune (included in the standard) and start data logging... at least that's what I got from the literature.

Not sure why the SSR's weight offhand but they are pretty light.

I'm about to go get my uprev tune in a week or two (as long as the shop can squeeze me in). I currently have (or will by then) FI non-res exhaust, FI resonated test pipes, Stillen Gen 3 CAI and the Z1 modified intake plenum.

I plan on going to Moore Automotive which is approximately a 3 hour drive for me but it's worth it in my opinion. I wouldn't waste your money on buying the tuning hardware yourself, just buy a license through somebody and let them tune your car. You'll probably be happier that way.

I guess the only benefit to owning the hardware is the ability to switch tunes though, which could be nice. Up to you really.

All of them are cardio death for me, I'm out of shape lol.

Haha what are you doing man!!! I drove in the snow last year and decided to never do it again. Driving the truck in the snow is a different story though. Let's just say I had some fun

bkngo · 03-02-2015, 08:03 PM

i drove the z today... too cold to wash her lol... plus it is suppose to rain the next two days then snow...

my wife drives a Genesis coupe but she had to take the CX-5 the last time it snowed because she was drifting all over the road. The Z was not too bad as long as i drove really slow... I have continental extreme contact dws tires which helps.

i got my ecu number from the dealership today for the uprev standard... I contacted Tony about the resonated TP and it will be a few weeks... so i might have to wait until the I get the RTP installed before purchasing the uprev... i want to go get it tune at Moore Automotive but if something goes wrong or i need an update i will have to drive 3 hrs out to get it retune... plus if i move in a few years that could be a problem as well... that why i think the best thing for me is to get the standard uprev with an etune.

Onelownismo, how much louder is the rtp in the cabin? I've listened to it on Youtube but it hard to compare it. Do you mind meeting up sometime so I can listen to your car? I live in the deep creek area which is right by Suffolk.

bkngo · 03-02-2015, 08:15 PM

BTW, the SSR type F 19x9.5 weighs 20.6lbs and 19x10.5 weighs 21.8lbs...

wolfesquire · 03-03-2015, 06:27 PM

I've been driving my Z this whole time. Can't wait to use all the chemical guy products to detail her.

I don't actually have them yet. I am still waiting, should be another week and a half I think. I've had non-resonated test pipes and it was pretty damn loud. Then I had high flow cats for a while and it was much more bearable. I'm assuming the res-test pipes will be somewhere in between.

You know other people can tune your car if you move right? I think the license for uprev stays with your car. Also 3 hours is the price to pay for a quality tune. There are some people locally but I don't trust them, no body seems to have experience with the VQ37.

We can meet up sometime if you would like. I'll let you know once they have been installed.

Darketch · 03-04-2015, 09:09 PM

If y'all decide to meet up, please post here so we can all meet. Y'all could talk car parts/tune over Starbucks (I need 3 more stars to be a gold member!)

bkngo · 03-05-2015, 01:19 AM

Cool... I would like to meet up. Are you installing it? How long was your wait?

I made it to Ohio safely... I am glad I didn't take the Z now because there was 3" of snow in West VA. However it would of been nice to drop it off for a tune this weekend.

Onelownismo · 03-05-2015, 08:43 AM

Yes I'm installing it myself, I don't like to let shops/dealers touch my car unless it's something I just can't figure out or don't have the tools for.

My wait is 4 weeks. I wish I would have ordered them sooner because I might miss my chance at VIR now.

Jsmith7861 · 03-06-2015, 01:34 AM

Hope you guys are doing decent, been mega busy the past few months.

Probably gonna have an intake, FI exhaust, and hopefully tune by the end of the year. Might wrap her a matte metallic soon, not sure yet though.

If you guys need a detailer for your rides let me know, I'd be happy to hook you up with a good price on a detail.

Might have to hit you up later on the detailing offer.

My Z's front bumper needs some help.
