Will, good to see you and Rosie on a sunny Saturday! Yes the Uprev remap seems to wake the 370Z up with regards throttle response and torque/power increases. Big increase in area under the graph. We also play with the throttle response maps which are switchable via the cruise control if the car has cruise fitted. Also thanks for the kind words re the GT86, they are very under rated awesome chassis as stock which can be improved on cheaply. I think it is an B road car small chuckable responsive and give a good return to the pilot when being driven well. Uprev costs for a NA 370Z tuned on our DYNO is £402-00 inc vat. We can remote tune these cars but we won't be able to garuntee the gains as we aren't tuning live. You will need to buy a Osiris standard cable to carry this out. Costs I will update here in a while. Thanks

Thanks for you kind words.

Any questions ask away

Driving Ambitions isnt the same company as CATD , but they both used Millbrook as the training ground.

We are having a CATD training day at Millbrook on the 22nd March (Saturday) for our GT86/BRZ customers; We have 2 places left at the moment out of 6 places allowed for the day. http://www.catdrivertraining.co.uk/ Performance Driver ‘Track’ Day An action-packed day run by CAT Driver Training Ltd at Millbrook Proving Ground.. CAT Driver Training is run by Colin and Jo Hoad. Colin used to work for a leading motor manufacturer in the UK as a Vehicle Evaluator and Driver Trainer and has gained extensive experience and qualifications in driver instruction. This includes being certificated to instruct at Millbrook. His life has been spent working with his passion: motor cars - from racing minis to the race preparation of performance cars. He has much experience of vehicles on both road and track and brings a very different approach to driver enjoyment. The day is a fast moving experience for 6 owners and their cars to introduce the secrets of performance driving. It is designed to be informative, exciting and fun. The group size is purposefully kept small so that the maximum can be obtained from the day in a highly personalised environment. There is access to the 5 unique circuits at the renowned Millbrook Proving Ground, a venue that is not normally accessible for ‘track days’ and the general public. Activities designed for the different circuits are: • Learn ‘threshold’ braking from 100+mph on the ‘Mile Straight’ • High speed driving, potentially to the maximum of your car, on the banked circuit of the ‘High Speed Circuit’ • Drive the demanding ‘Alpine Route’ circuit with its hills, and variety of corners from hairpins to long and sweeping • Take on the tight, twisty and challenging ‘Handling Circuit’ • Put a car through its paces on the wide open spaces of the ‘Steering Pad/Mile Straight Apron’ An instructor will accompany you on all the circuits during your session, and the objective is to teach you how to get the best from your car and develop your performance driving skills in a controlled environment and at a pace you are comfortable with. Short presentations in vehicle dynamics will help you to understand the relationship between driver input and vehicle balance and control. From this comes the appreciation of how to safely drive your vehicle at ‘grip limit’ within the controlled confines of a track environment. At the end of the day, your new found skills can be put to the test in a timed ‘shoot out’ around a gymkhana-style course laid out on the ‘Steering Pad/Mile Straight Apron’. This will be conducted in one of CAT Driver Training’s track prepared cars (normally a Subaru Impreza or a Caterham 7). Included in the day are: • Professional in car tuition • Access to 5 unique circuits at Millbrook Proving Ground • Lunch and refreshments during the day • Timed end of day ‘shoot out’ in one of CAT’s track prepared cars • Full emergency services on hand all day • 1 hour 40 minutes driving time with your personal instructor Performance Driver ‘Track’ Day Schedule 08:30 – 09:15 Coffee, Introduction, Licence Check, Scrutineering, Safety Briefing & Objectives of the Day 09:15 – 09:20 Drive to Circuits 09:20 – 10:20 Mile Straight 10:20 – 11:30 High Speed Circuit 11:30 – 12:45 Handling Circuit 12:45 – 13:30 Lunch 13:30 – 14:40 Alpine Route 14:40 – 15:10 Understeer/Oversteer 15:10 – 15:50 Gymkhana timed ‘Shoot Out’ – Steering Pad/Mile Straight Apron 16:00 Presentation & Debrief Timings & Circuit order may be subject to change on the day depending on circuit activity Note on noise limits ... to quote me "there is no limit unless you are a Le Mans Prototype or an F1 car". If anyone thinks they can compete at that level on noise, be sure to mention it when booking! 6 participating members = £390 pp All prices include VAT at the current rate and payment must be made at the point of booking to confirm individuals places. Depending on the time frame for the event, this could be a 50% deposit with the balance closer to the event, or the full amount if within 40 days. Methods can be bank transfer or debit and credit cards but credit cards attract merchant fees of up to 3.5% of the value. Is anyone interested form this forum; let me know please. thanks

Hi, Did we tune the car before on Uprev? If so I imagine around 2 hours max. If we didn't will need to tune from scratch so around 3 hours maximum. We are £100-00 inc vat per hour on our Dynapack dyno. Thanks

Keyser, how much for all 3 please?

Graham, BC or our newly developed KW dampers will suit you fine. Both leave the rear spring in the same position. but do have adjustable ride height. I also have found some Headlamps for you, will email you.

Mark i was going on the premise that wide-band lambda being a more precise and an extended scale in comparison to narrow-band, so the ECU is setup for this rather than just upping/cutting the injector DC/duration in response to rich/lean, and would be able to have a pre calculated table for whatever amount of fuel to adjust each lambda feedback AFR back to the required figure therefor being more fuel efficient. I was under the impression that this was one of the prime reasons for the current lean burn engines fuel efficiency? Closed loop is only used around Stioc (14.7AFR or Lambda 1) The latest car use closed loop through out the fuel control but the older 350Z only around 14.7 afr so running a narrow or wide band sensor wont make much of a difference. One thing thou on all these cars the lambda's do deteriorate and we reset these wear when we re tune the stock ECU this allows the car to close loop to 14.7 afr quicker. Graham will give you a ring tomorrow. thanks

I did find this kit http://www.jenvey.co...d-horns-cknn02c Note the curved horns to fit under the bonnet Im very tempted, but rather nervous as well - already have 1 expensive car, dont need another.... thoughts are:- exhaust manifolds itbs cams ecu Would make one hell of a noise Graham, ring me to discuss.......

TB are good for power but bad to fit and set up on a 350Z 1, stock ECU wont run a car with ITB 2, servo vacuum are low 3, unless you use a ECU that runs DBW your need to fit a throttle cable/set up 4, fitment under the bonnet if you run a air box (which is a must for road car) just fir a SC or a cheaper turbo kit which we are developing Alloy cam covers , just use the Nissan Pathfinder Stock Alloy covers , off the shelf part.

Just fit some ASNU or ID's far better quality injectors

Exciting things happening at Abbey Motorsport Ltd, we have just signed a deal to bring the excellent Hunter Hawkeye ELITE TD Wheel aligner to Abbey Motorsport, the same equipment Nissan HPC dealers need to use; http://www.hunter.co...elite/index.cfm

Won't make any difference weather it is a UK or JDM car both models have full lambda control just the JDM cars have narrow band sensors doesn't make them any slower to close loop. Graham, there wasn't any codes logged in the ECU and everything was working right. Let me know when we can drop the car on our Dynapack dyno. Thanks

We have seen this and spent a long time looking into the issue , we have found out it is a exhaust cam control issue , easily fix with a Uprev remap , either just to cur the problem or a full remap to get all the gains from the Uprev remap. Give me a ring on 01883 731332 ext 2 or PM me on here. thanks

I have tuned a STS kit on a built motor , they work well up to around 0.8 bar boost then after the drop in exhaust pressure causes boost drop off , car was running a GT35 ran 550 hub bhp @ 1.2bar boost and 580lb/ft tuned with Uprev. Good idea keep the boost at a reasonable level and don't make to much torque for a stock Motor.

Yep got some if these £75-00 + shipping

Car today made 320hub bhp so up around 345flywheel bhp. Doesn't really matter what the final figure was as long as the gain before and after remapping shows a gain (area under the graph is the main thing to get) steel lynx do you want me to upload your graphs tomorrow?

NATS light shouldn't be on. Let me know tomorrow if it is I will drop down to sort the issue out. Good numbers from your car tjou

if you buy a Osiris cable where we tune by logs , your get 3 e tunes within the price , this means we will carry out 3 teaks to your map to get the tune spot on. If you have a tune on a dyno any extra tuning will need to be paid for.

Okay NP, so the gain in figures was just the difference in dyno figures. I was 100% happy when the car ran 465 bhp it was spot on but readinf Peter's post it read that has had gained Power/Torque , but in fact it was just due to the way the Dyno Dynamics dyno adjusts the figures with compensations.

So the tune was mine still?

Did you run it with my map in the car Jez? So Just the same as it was on my Dynapack Dyno. No real gain. what compensation figures you using? I am sorry but that car was tuned to get maximum BHP from the car , it was det limited so I know it wont take any more ignition timing. The difference in figures was just how different dyno's read and the wheel to flywheel calculation is used.

Jez, can we see the wheel figures please?
