Checked them out, seems like a well put together kit. Yet, fortunately for me, I too decided to add more cables to key locations with my GK. Yet, hmm I saw something things I can fabricate on my own from some of the postings of others cars. But it's all cosmetic, nothing performance driven.

I haven't read your other threads, so if there's anything about beadwork, disregard...

Any beadwork like porting, decking, undercut valves, or lightening the valvetrain will always help an engine. You can build up the combustion chambers for higher compression withough deacreasing valve clearance. For higher lift cams. Doubt you'll get it done by tomorrow though!

Do you have cams already or trying to avoid the cost or...

Avoiding costs,

major problem with my car is the ecu. It's untuneable... only technosquare can tune it and they dont provide a self tuning kit option. Utec's dont work as the connector is entirely different. adding cams alone with no tune = a waste of money.

i may consider doing a haltech if i can retain stock tach mph and other essentials.

but without a doubt ive considered your options

EManage is a viable option too. As is any piggy back I guess.. I can see the ECU downfall for sure. Why are the heads off anyway? I'd skim at least a few thou off regardless.

Skimmed off a bit from the 350z heads...


i have the emanage with the Giff cable, I recently contacted Richard Welch @ AutoSport wiring as I was the first to purchase a Custom 2002/2003 G35 Sedan ecu harness (notice he doesnt even sell them yet) We hadn't finalized the harness as it seems some wires are crossed. But once I get that up and running I will definetly add it in. Problem is the emanage doesn't tune ignition. Only tunes air/fuel.

I am definetly interested in perhaps doing a retrofit on ecu harness for the newer G's... If I can connect the new connecter to the old then perhaps I can just get away with a utec.
