My most expensive paper weight ever
 

So, after much consideration and thought I decided to go with a COBB AP for my engine management needs, originally I was going to buy from the guys at AAM, they were very very helpfull and always got back to me etc, plus cut a great deal, I could not purchase from them as my car fund is based of a UK CC, i.e. non USA based.
So I sourced my AP directly from COBB , now I realizse that the tables are limited but I wanted a head start on learning my vehicles ECU control.

So I thought I could at least get my WBo2 set up and start to adjust the vehicle to fine tune my own 'base map', then as the defs are released which enable more control variables I can just update firmware and tuning software accordingly, easy enough right?

Well, my AP would not install... no biggie, assumed a dongle or firmware issue, up loaded all the latests revs, still no good, contacted COBB (very helpfull) did some analitical stuff over the phone....
Long story short, my ecu is one of the 'unseen' before coded roms, and hence needs adding to the mix in terms of development, time line,,,,,,, FEB 10at the earliest.

So, I have a nice 600+ dollar paper weight on mydesk and am no closer to the engine managment I wanted.

NB - this is not a slate at COBB or the AP - I do like the products and have a lot of experience with COBB and there outlets, tuners, how ever I am surprised I can purchase a unit that will not function at all on the vehicle it was sold for........

Before it gets asked, yes I did consider UPREV but wanted an easy install / de install option and I am already used to COBB based software, I have used license based ECU reflashed previously and taking them off can suck.

Just a pre warning dudes.....
Happy Holidays

That sucks. I hope they get it figured out before Feb.

^ me to ;-)
Apparently, this is likely to happen until all rom id's have been accounted for, I pulled my stock ROM and sent it off so they can add it to the 'accepted' data base etc, its very unlikely they will send me an individual patch, I will have to wait until a full firmware version release.

As soon as I get back to the office I'll add the support for your rom and two others that I've received while I've been on vacation.

Joe - appreaite the assistance, please let me know when I am good to go with the update - in the mean time I have written my revised map and its waiting to flash...

I had a Horrible Experience with Cobb on my 06 350Z I had I will never use them again

None of the maps would work on the car and none of the updates took effect and had horrible customer service

Kastley! whats up bud!

hold out on the cobb man they are cracking the timing issue now...and since you already sent off your ecu rom image its only a matter of time before they get it back to you :tup:

look at it in a bigger picture...your helping out everyone else by doing it so its not a total loss and you and everyone else will reap the rewards for your patients!

Kdo is right, hang in there... will be worth it :tup:

same thing happen with the G and now it's the Z's turn

KDO - Hey Man - yeah, I am waiting, I have some maps editied up and my WB is going in (When my CB eventually shows up), I am happy with COBB's response but was a little annoyed at initial problem, that being said they have been very helpful and informative about the 370Z workings.
I am waiting patiently ;-)
Nogoodname - yeah - Its just teething issues for sure

Kastley85891 - Good luck with the project, keep us updated.

PS. Like your avatar!

I think we should start taking bets on when the "official" COBB AP will be released for the 370Z. My bet is Spring 2014.

(sorry but I'm starting to get a little pissed).

Latest - I got a Firmware beta download, but had an install issue still, contacted the support guys, they have re written and compiled a new Beta firmware, hopefully this evening I hsould have it.
COBB have remained V helpful through out, if it were not for xmas NY, I feel that I would be running it already.
I have had plenty of time to get to grips with the 'limited' parameters of the ROM, my AP manager has three ptm's ready for trial.
My CB is out for delivery today so will be installed tonight, the final parts for my home made intake will be here to day also so would be nice to get this thing tuned and dyno'd.
Will update accordingly

nice :tup: cant wait to here how the beta goes :excited:
