Try re-setting the ecu... I'm pretty sure theres a thread on it... If that doesn't work then you might want to take it to a mod-friendly dealership to have it checked out... (ie Riverside Infiniti, eventho it's far from you they wont give you crap for mods)

this sounds like something exactly what happened to my Z, might have to do with the jwt intakes cause i had one also. the way it got fixed was that the dealership replaced the throttle body and some other parts of the intake or something. due to the fact that it was stuck(wont open or close). u should put ur stock air filters back on and take it to the dealership or to a mod-friendly shop.

i loved my jwt intake however i only noticed this problem when I put them on =(

Limp mode. Could be all kinds of reasons and will need a code check.

Yeah Limp mode is right.. My family had a ford excursion that used to do this all the time... The dealership never knew why??? We had to tow it all the time and it was just a freakin joke... But the same symptoms that you described happened to our excursion to a T... So I feel for you Nestle 9!

hell no, i sold my car after i fixed it and got a G37 lol. i want to put dual poppies on my g37 now. i loved that intake! but honeslty i had that exact same problem with my Z. i cant find the post from my350z.com but there were problems with the jwt intake stalling out on the freeway when in neutral with all the VDC SLIP lights on. not sure if the pop chargers are the problem but you do have the EXACT same symptoms from what i had with my Z and dealer said it was the throttle something being stuck.

The car sometimes would start and if it did it wouldnt go past 2k rpm, even if the gas is stomped all the way in lol

Have you contacted JWT yet?, I'm interested to know what happens with your car man, I will have the same setup you do (Pop-Chargers and Greddy Ti-C) plus the Exhaust Depot "Y-Pipe", and I'm very worried that maybe the intake can cause this issue, I didn't know about that issue with the 350Z also, all I have heard all this time is how great the Pop-Chargers are with the Z and the previous G, it will be a shame if there is an issue with it and the G37.
