Just posting updates 
Finally got around to getting my 07 5AT 370gt Coupe tuned at East coast customs.

My only performance mods are Cold air intake (z1) and a Twin x Pipe cat back Exhaust.

My car was tuned with 167kms on the clock and made great power imo

In the end i made 218rwkw with 325nm of torque.

Super happy with the work carried out and Quite happy with the power that managed to come through the 5AT. 
I wasnt risking an e-tune to get over the 300hp mark etc

So how do you tune a VQ37? Do you have piggy back devices, an aftermarket ECU or is there a replacement tune-able chip in your ECU?

Uprev tuned my friend. Stock ecu is tunable :)

I thought the 370GT was already rated at 325 hp.

Guess I should get mine checked out sometime to see what it does put out.

 

it is but not at the wheels. The 325HP is at the fly.

now i've gone from 325 at the crank to around 355 and the cars alot more responsive.

 

Edit - Keep in mind the cars 12 years old. Its 325 at the crank wasnt that accurate anymore. Dyno'd in at 316 to the crank.

Ok.  I am considering doing something with mine... traded in a 300ZX TT for it, which was around 340 hp at the wheel (I still shed a tear when I see a nice Z go by, but both myself and the Fairlady were getting old)  anyways, the VQ37 is quite impressive, but I wouldn't mind a little more torque starting off, probably not going so far as to start looking at turbo/supercharger options.

    • No. GKTech arms have spherical bearings in them. No bushes. You will not need bushes for those arms. The sphericals are a bit of a maintenance nightmare. I have replaced all of mine several times in the 5 or so years I've had them, and I have the arms out regularly to clean and lube the balls. Worth the pain on an R32, because the standard arm design is trash. If you need the camber adjustment, there are other options (than the GKTech ones), although I would still lean towards and prefer the GKTech ones, even with the maintenance load of the sphericals. The caster adjustment is also highly valuable, allowing for setting the car up to drive straight. There are a million options for these, including the GKTech ones. I've had Tein rods on mine for 20 years and the balls are much less trouble in that location. Never given me a moment's pain. All positives, no negatives. I consider them compulsory.
    • Lol yeah I ordered the clips mentioned and as far as the amayama diagrams go i think thats all I'll need. Fogured id ask, sometimes people's first hand experience doesnt always match up to diagrams haha, i guess I'll wing it and worse comes to worse I'll just deal with it as I go
    • Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol
    • I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.  
    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
