    If it's not too much trouble, could you get a FedEx quote as well as EMS? Thank you sir, and thanks for the answers!

    And sorry that I have taken this thread slightly off topic in the last few posts.

    Well George, if you want to send me a PM with a total for the VB and shipping, we can get things rolling and you can get that VB shipped out. Three final questions... 1) Installing this VB, will it totally eliminate that slipping, mushy shift up and down? I hate that feeling of this...

    So quicker shifts for all gears? Only 1st to 2nd is firmer? What about 2nd to 3rd, or 3rd to 4th? What's the point/purpose of having engine braking in 4th and 5th? So does that mean in 3rd and lower, it just drops to neutral like stock? Was this an actual kit of some kind or a custom job by...

    What can you tell me about the actual valve body that you have there that you're referring to (that I am most likely going to purchase from you very soon). What all is done to it and what can I expect drive-ability wise? Does this valve body also raise the line pressures? Obviously, I don't know...

    George, if you can let me know at your leisure, it's fine with me. I just started work after one and a half months off due to a work injury, so funds a little tight at the moment, but I am DEFINITELY interested in that modified valve body. Is there anything I need to know about it as far as...

    OEM 3UZ ECU TUNE/FLASH

    George, I don't know if it was done due to the modified shift points on my stock 5-speed auto or something else, but before you tuned ECU, my car always shifted right around 6k rpm, just barely over 6k in 1st gear, and just slightly under in every other gear. Now with the tuned ECU, all shifts...

    Looking for ECU or substitute

    Embarrassingly, I'm American and I agree 100% with this fact.

    Thanks. Eventually I'll get some wheels, more than likely some 18's to keep some meat on the sidewalls, and keep within the era the car was built. Something in the theme of Mercedes AMG and BMW M series of the day. 19's I think are borderline too big for these cars, and 20's are definitely too...

    Now here's a thought... The LS460 motor and a 6-speed manual in the LS430.

    Sorry I didn't see any of these posts until now, but since you are going with the Dimsport unit, I guess not all is lost. Just curious, is that a piggy back system or a stand-alone? On a side note, a couple weekends ago, I got the timing belt, water pump, pulleys, tensioner, thermostat, temp...

    George, that's great news! I'm glad to see that you're expanding your business. I'm honored to have one of your modded ECU's in my LS430. It makes my car much more unique to any other LS430 in the country... At the moment anyway. ;) BTW, I had a little "head to head" with a guy in a new...

    Just another quick update for those who are interested..Still no dyno time, but have some better proof than just simple low speed butt-dyno stuff. There's a place that I found a couple years ago that I use to take my 370Z to to "test" new mods and new tunes, and to also bed in the new big brake...

    It's not bad enough of a knock/ping to throw a code. Not even any stored codes. I've got both a wifi and Bluetooth scanner with two different apps on my phone. Both show nothing. I've read good things about changing out that temp sensor. It's cheap enough and certainly easy enough to do. While...

    I sure did notice, and do on a daily basis. BTW George, I was going to send you an email with a little "review" of the remapped ECU, but since I saw you respond here I didn't see the point of doubling up on you with it. One more thing I've noticed with the remapped ECU... Before in stock...

    OEM 3UZ ECU TUNE/FLASH

    Just a minor update... I do believe there's a healthy bit of additional power as it seems to be much more effortless getting up to speed in typical city driving (up to 50 mph) with no additional rpms over before. It just gets up and goes with a little extra thrust pushing you into the seat. The...

    I'm actually surprised as well. I thought that once it hit land in New York, it was going to sit there forever. Luckily it didn't though.

    So at 2 in the morning, I decided to go out to the garage and install the new ECU. I jumped the OBD2 to let the ECU "learn" my keys for 30 minutes. Afterwards, pulled the jumper and gave it a go, and... It cranked right up! My girlfriend hopped in for a nice little night drive around the baron...
