It is not a transmission tune and neither was it from the dealer unfortunately, so no warranty. But tuning the engine indirectly changes the way the transmission feels when shifting by getting more torque out of the car. I like it much better, it makes it more exciting.

Its a good transmission and shifts pretty good when driving fast. I would say my only concern is that it is tuned for fuel economy, but that's an issue with the TCU tune from factory not the actual transmission. I got my car tuned and now it shifts even snappier due to the top end torque with...

Not in the sense like a sudden boost cut but more like throttle closure, or overboost protection. I get tuned next week hopefully.

I understand, but it cut boost immediately down to 0.5 bar. Felt like my car hit a wall or something ?. Usually the car peaked at 1.1 bar or briefly touch 1.2 bar as per the guage before dropping around 0.9-1 bar but this time it just cut immediately to 0.5.

Should be normal, I have that kinda sound on my car.

I think its normal? Its hard to tell from what you're refering to in the video but if its the 'lawn mowery' sound coming down after the rev then it should be normal.

The crackles are fake. I suggest turing the asc system at the dealer, getting a proper loud exhaust with dps if needed. Car will sound much more authentic that way. I didnt mind asc at all, it actually does it really well in the performance, all my passengers havent noticed it aswell, however...

Yep, intake, ldp, and Exhuast, its fine half throttle, i tried one full throttle pull and ecu is cutting boost, it hit 1 bar of boost then dropped down to 0.5bar. I am getting tuned next week so I should be in good hands and ready to take it on the road. As per the sound, honestly mid range its...

Yes that makes sense. Some of us dont have Access to ethanol as easily.

Anytime, friend.

If youre worried just in case you might as well take it to the dealer and ask them. Otherwise, if your car is running fine and shifting good then nothing to worry about.

Oh no worries. If you can, send a full throttle pull with the boost guage on the tach. Boost creep is basically when the boost on your turbos exceed the intended target boost beyond what the ecu can mitigate. So if you see boost is going far beyond the set boost target for the car (around...

Sure. Will post when I get the chance.

, True but my concern isnt specifically the gains only but the cost to benefit. I dont want to have to deal with the CEL and catless smell from a full downpipe and the rough installation. Plus a full catted downpipe costs too much for me. I think I will just go with ldps considering the power...

Y You running exhaust aswell? No boost creep?

Just got the intakes installed and heat exchanger aswell. The stock filter was quite restrictive now that Im seeing the way my car performs. The car runs perfectly fine, no boost creep or anything but the turbos spool much much faster and easier. Its like they can finally breathe a bit. Low end...

Thats not as much as I thought. What about in terms of sound?

Unfortunately CBE in these cars will almost always never have enough character or sound due to the bottleneck at the downpipes. Ive gotten 2 exhausts, the Z1 touring and now im rocking the AWE track exhaust. The Z especially above 4k rpm starts to sound like a vacuum cleaner under throttle due...

The Nismo Bronze looks lovely. If you're looking to improve grip from a launch maybe dial in the suspension with some coilovers and get lsd brace or stiffer mounts first? Those helped me a bit. For the rims maybe check out and see if there are any in the used market for sale, other than that...

Hello there, I have an interesting question for this post. Full downpipes vs Lower donwpipes. Which should I get? What is worth more for the price and installation. Im looking to open my car up now that I have installed intakes and heat exchanger. Seems to me the car sounds very boring after...
