Just swap the coil packs around, clear code and see which code comes back. Could be simply you damaged one of the coil packs when you were doing the plugs. Or even a bad new plug as well.

Was under impression that battery upgrade was to reduce weight?

I've always known that lead acid batteries charge at 14.0v

Going by older alternators that just regulate to this level.

Maybe check the fluid levels after 6 months if flooded type.

Just remember if you use a smaller battery you need to keep fluids topped up as 370z charging circuit may over charge which dries out the cells.

Just tried 166hz and it worked ok. But at 12v. I'm thinking when I tried 5v it wasn't enough voltage.

The 370z doesn't need a tune up.

You just need to do general maintenance, oil, filters, coolant change etc.

Ive heard 09 models use a bit of oil so go up to 10w-40 oil.
