well the day he we went to the track and luiggi took his car he said he didnt know any guy named chad that drove a blue tc. maybe you met him after. but you said your boy like if you guys were boys. and that car needs a new wastegate and miracle. cause i ran him when he had race gas and whored him! but then again i had a .48ar back housing lol. and whored it at the track. sounds and drives good cause i drove the car while luiggi tuned it. but the wastegate opened way to late. joey is a cool guy and all.

Naw..."maybe" the 350z. But seeing as how I'm traveling with my 2yr old son, and by the time I get down, my new born son will be born (due Nov), I will have a car load...
So, can't put them in a 2 seater, so we may not have either down there and be rolling in a rental, cause I'm not driving my buick mobile down there.

Chad you talk mad sh*t. The FIC is just fine - and I dont know when the last time you tried to run from a cop...
For those with cranking issues, you should check your slave version and also your tune. My car cranks fine and I'm self-tuned.

Chad, clearly he was on drugs. haha hilarious
Well, I've really thought it over and the tC isn't going to be modded any further. If anyone wants an E-Manage Ultimate w/ 07+ harness, check out the classifieds for mine, haha.

Toan @ ptuning said it can occur with some FIC boxes. So its not really the tune.
I had the FI/C tuned by PTuning and currently am revamping my setup. I have an E-Manage Ultimate waiting if I actually decide to finish the car again. The whole 2-step launch was enticing, but I really liked that the stock ECU controlled the start-up ignition. I hated cranking the car for 15-20s with the FI/C.
and Rob for the record the last time i ran from a cop was at US27.. when my car actually worked. wasnt fast.. but it worked. running from cops is very common in coral springs during the meets aswell.

Yea, I had a slightly delayed start with mine. But never over 5 sec, and mostly was around 3 or so. Same kit, also tuned by Ptuning.

The F/IC has very litte to do with cranking, it is the relaying the crank signal from the F/IC to the ECU that is the issue. Some F/IC's do it very fast, still longer than stock, some take longer and results in multiple cranks.
Cold starts are perfectly fine, it's when the car is warmed, say you turn it off to go into the gas station, etc., quick trips, come back out and try to start it and it'll fail to start a few times. That's how we knew the issue was with the F/IC but Toan acknowledged it wasn't the first time he ran into the problem.
But Rob, your kung-fu is still mightier than I
