so the way to fit the front cover with the sump already fitted is to remove the dowels from the engine , measure the dowel run the same size drill through the front cover so the dowels slide into the cover nice and easily. fit the front cover then refit the dowels to position the front cover in the correct position.

we not had a REVUP car on the dyno yet , we know everything works on a RevUp as the ECU is the same Gen as DE car. Everything is tunable like with Uprev but we are able to offer more control and tunability.

no still UK DE/REV UP and HR cars only car that isnt support is the JDM narrow band cars (Gen 1 ecus) , I have a HR car so no need for a HR car to be supplied.

use a proper breaking in oil not a mineral oil. something like this https://aaoil.co.uk/product/driven-15w-50-mineral-break-oil-br/#:~:text=Driven break-in mineral oil,the critical running-in period or the Millers like you have brought, I would runt his oil for 300 to 400 miles , the car needs the motor working to bed the rings in this will help with oil usage at a later date. Best way to break the motor in is on a dyno as you can load the car nice and easily and controlled. Bore wash isnt going to happen on 1st start , for a engine to bore wash needs a huge amount of fuel normally a misfire or a issue causing the car to black smoke. Pre lubing is a good idea thou best to crank over with the plugs out as well and over fill the motor with oil to help the oil pump pick the oil up.

Anyone got a 350Z UK car that they need tuning , looking for a DE 276bhp NA car to tune with the new ECUTEK Z software. Email me mark@abbeymotorsport.co.uk if your interested, should be able to offer the Ecutek Bluetooth ecu connect dongle in the deal

370 gearbox is different bell housing fitment to a 350Z gearbox , it what we call a big bell housing box with concentric slave cylinder

I have always seen 1/4 to 1/2 thou change in measurements, it isn't just in the vertical clearances that changes when fitting studs. I am not a big user on Main studs TBH.

looks an impressive list of parts , having the block line bored as your fitting main studs? full balance of engine dynamic parts I hope as well? We just built a coiple of VHR for race cars using HR heads on the VHR block still running Ecutek with added engine safety, fuel and oil temp limp modes together with lean trip

So time passed quickly and we was back out on in the Abbey Motorsport/Steve Jordan Motorcycles Nissan 350Z for Round 2 BRSCC Clubsport Trophy @ Silverstone GP circuit, made some major changes on the car to try to gain some more speed in the car which after the Test day on Friday we had made a good move forward. Saturday arrived and qualifying 60+ cars on the track, Steve started, session quickly stopped due to a car with an opening bonnet.... session shortened so Steve only managed 4 flying laps and Mark managed to find some clear laps and popped a 3.21.4 in to put us in 14th Position. Race Steve started (1st ever car start) kept the car all clean from other car paint , lost a couple of places to cars on the when the 1st safety car was deployed, still racing even thou SC lights were flashing but luckily they was from another class, 2nd Safety car we carried out our driver swap , back out with safety car still deployed, Mark make up a few places on the road and finished 3rd in Class and 11th on the road.

sorry Uprev allows us to remap the stock ECU for better performance allows the throttle repsonse to be sharper in the lower 3 gears. Thanks

1st race completed last Saturday , I qualified in 21st position only did the minimum laps to quaiify as a driver then got Steve the other driver in the car to get as much time in the car around cars, so we started in 20th due to a car dropping out , I made some good progress to gain 8 places in the 1st lap , managed to get up to 9th place overall (5th in class) then handed over to Steve , Steve dropped back till 11th , was pushing and had a spin , carried on and we finished 13th overall and 5th in class , I flat spotted a rear tyre early on, still need some work on the set up to gain sometime which we will work on before our next meeting on the 21st May @Silverstone GP. Short video attached of the 1st lap of the race attached;

will try to keep this thread updated but yes will keep a flow of info on Instagram as well , also TSL timing is good to keep tabs of us during qualifying and the race.

Its been sometime since we been on this forum , work been very busy and the last 2 years have been stressful. So last year I raced a Motorbike Suzuki Minitwin in the Bemsee Series , but decided as I am getting old and after a few crashes maybe it is time to return to racing 4 wheels , some of you may remember this car from a while ago when it was the @TeamLizard 350Z race car things have changed and we now own the car so after a tidy up and some upgrades we are ready to race again in the BRSCC Clubsport Trophy this year , pairing up with another ex Motorcycle race Steve Jordan. Been testing and happy with our times we are running on the Zestino Gredge 07RS MEDIUM so not a Super sticky tyre like a Dunlop DJ03 running over 45mins with a driver change. You can keep up with our times/race position @ TSL Timing https://www.tsl-timing.com/event/221531 Timetable-Snetterton-16-17-April.pdf
