Ok- so did you clean & swap the mafs? Take you 30mins. Then clear codes and post your results. I’m convinced you could solve this yourself. It’s on the intake pipe just below the airbox (which has a filter that’s also user serviceable) If interested, I’ll post pics & more info. I fixed a similar issue on a 370z Nismo, but tbh the Mafs were way more accessible. Don’t drop the little bolts, or you’ll be in a world of pain recovering them from underneath. ? A magnetic tool would help catch them.

Is everything you put in 2.5" - if 3" LDP's or Catback that is the reason. Also, question why do LDP's and Catback without intakes - serious question
He didn't state "Threshold banks 1 and or 2" faults. So it wouldn't be that.

FDP's are usually unecessary - most of the restriction is in the LDP's. Also, if you get unresonated you will have a cel that is illegal for a tuner to remove. 3" LDP's Resonated to a 3" catback should do trick IMO - but again check with the tuner you choose. I use RAE Motorsports for LDP's, catback and intake.
OEM Upper cats still have quite a bit of restriction. Opening up to full Catted DP would be the best option. Still wouldn't get a CEL, still would highly suggest a tune

Seriously curious where your information came from on uppers. Ever reputable tuner I'll name (2) goracebox and Sonictuned have told me directly greatest restriction LDP's and unless you are primarily 1320ing or road coarse don't do. Again, serious question

Again, not asking you to reiterate I want to know where you got that information-I referenced asking you also. Your stating facts and I'm always open to learning so I'm calling you out on where you get your information and do you turn a wrench - curious

If you read my post, "OEM Upper cats still have quite a bit of restriction." Key word is bit. I have gained this knowledge by 1. Wrenching the parts on & off myself (believe it or not, I did most of the installs of the performance upgrades myself and with a friend who worked on his r33 gtr) and 2. Intensive prior research before dumping money on said parts. 3. looking at the upper and lower DPs, concluding they've got the near identical catalyst filter and diameter pipes. Also full catted has a less restrictive catalyst 4. If we're going to talk about tuners, i've asked mine (shout out Trent Chequered Racing) what would be the least restrictive, and common knowledge would be from Full Catless, Full Catted, LDP then OEM being the most restrictive

I went from full catless and found that full catted best suited my needs. Now, im not doing 1320 drags, but yes, i do intend to track it once and awhile

sorry if I roused you lol

Ok as I thought- I also do all my wrenching but when answering something like restriction without data - measuring before and after mods you and I would be guessing. So, I'm not convinced and go by the tuners (trustef) who have measured the deltas and if you are not racing as a priority I stand by my suggestion to 95% of the Z VR30 people most of the restriction is LDPs and that would be the best way to go on that mod

Another update.

Been driving the car for 2 days now and everything is perfect. Before I'm having issues when the weather is hot that I can't get boost until turning off the car then start it back up again to get boost but now even when the weather is hot the boost is working fine.
