Nor would I expect problems at 18,000. And that begs the question why so many are having problems, squeeks, and rattles in the G's in that time frame. I know I did and I'm wondering why as well. Too much money for those kind of "Sentra" problems...

Going back on topic.
What about Technosquare's solution:
"Drive By Wire Adjustment
Throught our testing we found, the drive by wire system was program to never fully open (throttle flap) when you smash the accelerator pedal. In fact, it actually closes the closer you get to the rev limiter, by as much as 20%. This restricts air into the motor and causes HP and Torque numbers to go down. We have remapped this setup so when you go wide open throttle, the throttle flap fully opens and STAYS open, increasing HP and Torque."

Tried that ME Spacer before & after S/C (0.5" before & tried 5/8 after),
in both cases my X lost power.
Lost power on the butt-dyno or on a true dyno?
the plenum spacer increases the volume of your plenum...I don't see how you could be losing power. It's not a different motor in the X, guys...

highway 95... im in the left lane doing 75mph on my way to work and get something like a ford turus or chevy pickup riding my bumper wanting me to switch lanes! 100 mph is fast but not that fast...
um 120mph plus... now u get a firm grip on the wheel and stay alert.
130... g35x... wanted more... BUT I DIDNT!!!

So instead of switching lanes like a normal driver, you sped up to 130mph? Congratulations, you're the reason people who drive import cars get a bad name.
I'm not saying I'm not down for a little highway fun every now and then, but obviously there was traffic, or the "ford turus or chevy pickup" behind you would've just went around. Not the sharpest crayon in the shed are ya?
