Setting off shortly, i'll see you guys there! Can't even begin to describe how excited I am!

That wikipedia list doesn't seem to have enough wet times on it. I suspect that's why some cars seem slower than you would expect.

Sounds excellent, having just had all sorts of difficulty with Elephant with recent the modifications I've made to my car. You'll definately be getting a call form me come renewal time.

Watched Gran Turino last night. Always had a soft spot for Amerian muscle

Total and utter d!ck, hate the way he looks down his nose at everyone and everything.

That video is brilliant, his best so far! Monkey on the ladder is mental!

Anyone on here HAVE their policy kicking abut anywhere?

 

I'd like to know the EXACT wording for the Plenum spacer mod, as I am looking to put it on with Admiral (Currently with them) but they ay they don't know what it is!

 

Cheers

+1 anyone, having the same problem!

Looks fantastic mate, bet you aren't missing the Zed in the slightest now!

I managed to add scorpion for the exhaust and FCM motorsport for the garage but on the dyno page it won't let me add a garage.

you should be able to add them yourself, from the garage mod itself

When I tired it said I didn't have authorisation.

Please could you add:

Scorpion Exhaust

Surrey Rolling Road (use a Dyno Dynamics Dynamometer)

Nice to meet you briefly yesterday Bry. Cracking results on the Up Rev, you must be well chuffed.

So, had a successful trip down to Horsham today. Good to meet the guys at Horsham, very happy with the work they did on my car. Would certainly use them again, especially if they were a bit closer to Bristol!

Had the all important remap. Came out unmapped as just over 270bhp which is a fair bit down on what Nissan quote but I suspect that is the case with most manufacturers. After the remap came out as smack on 290 bhp which is a good 15+ bhp gain.

So how does the car compare? Well with the plenum spacer and lower MREV2 it sounds noticeably throatier, especially at low revs. After the remap it also feels a bit sharper and nimbler, although I would disagree with statements I've read on here before about it transforming the car. It's certainly an improvement, and turns a great car into a slightly greater car, but its not as dramatic as some might have you believe.

So in summary my car now sounds faster and goes faster so I'm happy. If you're thinking of getting a remap I think its certainly worth £400, but I wouldn't expect it to turn your car into a fire breathing monster.

Also a big thanks to Charles at B2 Auto Designs for supply the spacer and MREV2, and ZMANALEX for supplying the spark plugs. Next job new wheels!

So I'm off to Horsham tomorrow afternoon to get a plenum spacer fitted, lower MREV2 and new spark plugs. Oh and the all important remap of course! Will post up how I get on, here's hoping for some decent gains.

Congrats on the purchase, any plans for it?

Love it

 

Awesome scenes in eltham, 200 millwall fans protecting the streets waiting for trouble, blaring out Madness, welcome to the house of fun lol

Well done lads, good for you.

the rev up versions have known oil consumption issues, something the earlier and later vehicles very rarely suffered from

It's nothing major though.

Very few UK cars suffer from this problem, mainly an issue in the States.

Ken Livingstone on BBC is bleating on about disillusioned kids protesting because they feel they have no prospects. Wrong Ken. It's lazy pikies who want stuff without working/paying for it, whether it be state handouts or stuff they can nick.

Just stumbled accross this vid on you tube. Castle Combe is the only track I ever taken my Zed round and its tragic to see one of my favourite cars of all time crashing so spectacularly there. Thank goodness the driver was OK.

Worst day ever day on the markets for me, although a long way behind you Captain. Really hope we see the rot stopping tomorrow, accross the board. All logic seems to have gone out the window.

That's right my where I live, you should have said hello!

Looks like a steal, but is it a GT pack?

 

You fitted some new brakes and a new exhaust system to my 350Z last summer and did a great job.

 

yes i remember the car. very nice 350 in black if i am right

Correct, good memory!

Good luck with the sale mate, great news you'll soon be back in a zed.
