Just FYI guys! There will be another open track day hosted by Driven and Blessed on October 12! Please let me know if interested! This time registration will be $170 and $10 for covered parking (if available).
I finally got the Z1/Stillen brake ducts installed on my sedan and the installation went even better than planned. The ducts are pretty durable so no tears and pretty flexible so they made the 90 degree turn on the passenger side into the fog light housing. More info. on my build thread.
I got a new Samsung Galaxy 8 and set up the Torque ap. I can clear CE lights, but it does not read the codes anymore- it tries, but comes up blank on the same code it used to read. Worked fine for reading codes on my old Galaxy S4.
Any ideas? Am I missing some setting I am forgetting about. Thanks!
Still trying to figure out these stupid mass air flow sensor codes I keep getting. I think something is wrong with the Z1 "400hp" tune with their intakes and intake plenum. I go into limp mode almost every time I hit 5,000 rpm. Pretty useless package when that is where most of the gains are.
Are you tuned? If so, ask your tuner to shut off the MAF B1/2 High Voltage CEL. If you're not tuned and this is how the kit comes, then I'd agree with you - the kit is specifically d3signed to increase breathing, so if that sets off the CEL, then there isn't a point.
Maybe check with Z1? They've been pretty helpful to me for follow-up service when I've bought something from them in the past.
Not sure about the Torque issue, could be an Android version issue? My very very cheap RCA tablet works with Torque as it is, so I avoid any updates or changes to the system. It was just a $35 tablet, so I bought it specifically for Torque, and I keep it as a closed system. I've found that some of the smaller-company apps, like Torque, can't keep up with the OS changes, so that's why I try not to change anything once it's working. It's a different story for the bigger companies that are constantly developing like Amazon or Fit Bit.

Yes, I have the Z1 400hp pckg. with all the parts and tune. I feel like I am the only sedan with this kit. Z1 has been a major pain to get this issue resolved. Jon keeps telling me he will send me a cable to fix the tune, but never does. Spencer tells me they don't have a cable to send. I called Jon yesterday and he just put me on hold. Russ picked up and said it could not be the tune and told me to put my stock intakes back on to make sure nothing is wrong with the intakes. Major pain to pull the front bumper off and try to get the accessory hoses off the intakes.
I feel like I am just missing a step on the Torque ap as it does not operate very logically. It worked fine on my Samsung S4, but having this issue with my new S8.
To be honest I'm not so sure about the 'stock' ecu tunes, nor the road tunes either really, you just can't beat the attention that the car gets on the dyno compared to whatever precautions they have to take to ensure all sorts of different motors don't go bang on an off the shelf tune. Not that that helps you at all, but interesting to hear about your troubles with Z1, I've had good interaction with Spencer.
In fact, I've got these goodies to go on here shortly:
I have an autocross November 4 with a buddy also driving my car and I'm using that as shakedown for COTA in December!
Nice, let me know what you think of the new parts. I am also interested in the subframe bushing spacers.
I agree with you on the dyno tunes. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely do that, especially since I just discovered an Uprev tuning shop only about 1 1/2 hour drive from me.
I have had good luck with Spencer too, but Jon, their tuner, is another story. After months of being told he would send me a cable to diagnose my tuning issue, he finally came clean last week that he did not have any cables to send?!? So I bought a cable he said I could return. It just arrived so hopefully it is an easy fix. Fingers crossed.
Also curious/interested in the subframe bushings. Let us know how that goes?
Have any of you guys had fuel starvation issues, similar to the 370Z guys, in right hand sweepers? I've not run into any of these issues personally (might just be that I'm not going fast enough) but recently was chatting with a few friends of mine who consistently have this issue and they brought it up again.
I wonder what the difference between the two fuel tanks are. They're both a mid-mount saddle, and they look the same from underneath.
I’m hopeful I’ll get the bushings in this weekend or next.
I have had the fuel starve for sure. I just fill up completely after EVERY run, otherwise experience fuel starve. I forgot to fill up after one session at COTA and after turn 16 - the 180 degree Right handler - with 3/4 tank I struggled with fuel starve for another 3 corners before it cleared, I actually thought it was an overheating engine and cut the session short. So, yeah, long story, problem is the same as the Z, as you’ve pointed out it’s the same tank. I have looked at the z1 kit, but it’s not that hard to just top up after each run.

I did have this issue at Road America last year, but it was because I was fairly low on fuel. I think I had already done 3 sessions on one tank of gas and was trying to squeeze in a 4th. The tank was just a little too low. After that if I made sure I had 1/2 a tank at the start, I was good.
I've had the fuel starve issue at 3/4 tank on an uphill right-hand sweeper. Not sure why up hill would make a difference, as anytime you're accelerating, the fuel is pushed to the back of the tanks anyway, but that's when I've experienced it.

Did you ever figure this one out?
I haven't used torque in a while and wanted to log oil temp this morning, but the VVT temp has disappeared from the custom PID screen. In fact, there used to be 11 or so custom PID's, but now only 4.
Nothing I do seems to be able to find it but it used to work just fine. I've got a Pixel so I'm wondering if it's a newer version of android thing, will have to try out another phone and see what I can figure out.
**EDIT** - Deleted and reinstalled the plugin and now the custom PID list is about 20 strong. Will update once I connect to the car and check if they read anything.
**EDIT** well, that fixed it. Chilly weather out, almost time to block off the oil cooler.

No, no one had any fixes for why it would not read the CE codes. Hopefully, I am beyond that as I am in the process of fixing my horrible Z1 400hp tune. I really hope I can just use the ap for temps at track days. Fingers crossed...
I know what you mean about cooler temps. Less than a week ago it was almost 80 degrees here. Starting yesterday our highs are only in the 40s now?!?
You block off your oil cooler? With what? Don't you have a thermostatic plate so it doesn't open when it is cold out? Come to think of it, I should probably block off my brake ducts now.
