They do have numbers on each lead 1,3 and 5 drivers side 2,4 and 6 on the passengers side. But seen it done loads of times even by a Nissan Dealer....

it will have 2 coil leads transposed normally even bank number 4 and 6 , the leads don't go in the position like they look like they should but if you look carefully they are numbered. Oil on threads isnt anything to worry about imho. The plugs are very worn thou typical 350Z. Any questions Rob ask away.

the exhaust tail pipes always blacken this is no real test of weather the car is running rich or lean as when the car cold starts it will blacken the tail pipes. Running Milltek and pop charger will normally not mak any difference to fuelling but the cars really needs a run on the dyno to check AFR to ensure everything is running correctly

I would say ask for a good will job on the clutch your getting it fitted for free as the spigot bush breaking up is warrantied( sounded like a clutch release bearing to me thou) We could supply a uprated clutch for half price ( but we don't have stock I am afraid) but ask them to do it free or at least at the clutch @ cost , the mileage you have done is about right for a new clutch thou on a 370Z.

The trouble with LPG is has no lubrication within the gas where as Petrol does , so running LPG can/will cause issues with valve guides etc etc , I know that LPG fitting agents say they dont have any issues but this is what I have picked up from other people that have run the Gas. I presume the valve care system will just inject oil just like a 2 stroke does for lubrication. It also seems to make the valve seats work hard so therefore wear out and any work on a Zed motor requires a motor out job evnt o remove the cylinder heads, you can strip the front covers off int he car but it is PITA. LPG does have a higher octane rating the super unleaded thou, so it could make more power if tuned correctly.

have they sorted the release bearing problem?

Olly hope to see the SC late this week.

Hi, we use CJ stage 0 fuel system, 725cc ID injectors , walbro fuel pump, Uprev GT mad and 8 heat range spark plugs To tune will take around 5 hours work. I can supply all these parts and will upload a good start map to your ECU. I would fit a greddy sump, 19 row oil cooler (Abbey will have a full oil cooler kit soon brackets/ducts and pipe work. Any more questions ask away.

Yes we are going V-8 powered , 1st with a Pro Mod with a blower fitted then hopefully onto a Nissan Powered V-8 (VK5.6ltr) Titan truck motor.

Train station isnt far away Ian.........

2012/2013 damper set up is better for the UK roads , I think the new dampers with a set of uprated roll bars would make an early 370 ride reasonable well. Afraid your only get a Micra courtesy car @ Abbey but ours is diesel and does handle pretty impressively I feel...but your also get marmite on your toast....

I used to ride a 456 sun met season On Onethat was fun for some XC new XC is a Spesh Pro Carve 29er which is so nice to pedal in the winter mud http://m.specialized.com/gb/gb/bikes/mountain/carve/carvepro Mark

Supercharger always safer than turbo's on a DE/REV UP car , as Wizard said torque kills these early motors and turbo's make torque without RPM. S/C needs RPM to make boost so they are safer.

had to split post.

okay thanks had to split the whole thing into 3 as I was unable to load all the media files, can this be tidied up or does it need to stay as 3 posts. thanks again

Race Highlights We hope to pick up a sponsor for 2013 and we hope to run a whole season in the MSV series Team Trophy - Team Trophy We was also involved in the Sony Playstation 370Z cars that are used at Silverstone Race Circuit for the Playstation competition http://uk.playstation.com/home/events/detail/item107768/GT-Academy/ We remapPED the cars using Uprev software to cure a few issues the car'S had while being used hard all day.. Built a lot of nice cars in 2012; Red 34GTR for our customer and friend Denis from Crotia; He has 2 cars built by Abbey a red 34 GTR 2.8ltr V cam HKS T04Z turbo and the ex John Bradshaw 33GTR 2.6 ltr 2530's track car Also built a lovely 205GTI for a customer he has had a few GTR's over the year, Mi16 motor , full roll cage , throttle bodies very nicely built car Run a few track cars for people we have built a rather nice 32GTR over a 5+ year period- 500+bhp 2.6ltr RB, Holinger gearbox,AST triple adjustable dampers, wide track front suspension,Stoptech Brakes. quick video of it running @ Spa this year Built numerous F/I 350Z's and re tuned a lot of N/A Zeds with Uprev software and working with Syvecs to allow standalone ECU's to work on all the 350Z models. Nissan 350Z HR engined with GTM stage 1 SC kit fitted Goes from 290bhp hub to 440 hub bhp running only 0.7bar boost , just working on Syvecs S8 install on these late cars with Ryan. Slowly seeing more and more R35GTR pass through our shop and we are also developing our own Nissan Juke DIG T , keep an eye on our Facebook pages and our new website which should be up and running in early 2013.

trying to get the video to embed will see if i can modify the original post.

Abbey Motorsport 2012 2012 has been a good year for everyone @ Abbey Motorsport , we have worked on plenty of car and say thank you to past, present and future customers of Abbey Motorsport for their support in 2012, thought I would just have a quick think about what sticks in my memory from this year. Jeff Ludgates awesome 8.8 sec run at the JDS Final meeting of 2012 John Bradshaw consistent 6.6 @ 200+ mph run in Project Zed We travelled across the water with Motul and Project Zed this year; 1st we went to Le Mans for the Moto GP French round , weather played havoc but we still got to run the car Then we travelled to Germany where a badly prepared track caused a lot of long sad faces, then we travelled to Tierp in Sweden which again was plagued with bad weather but we did get to run the car in anger Straight off the truck 6.73 @ 330 kph. cant embedded this video it seems The Swedes loved the car , makes plenty of noise and doesnt go bad for only 3.5ltr they say. Was good to race against some mad Volvo's turbo cars. Hope we can go back with Project Zed 2 which we hope will be built in 2013 to run in Top door Slammer V8 Nissan powered twin turbo which we hope will go deep into the 5's

Yes it is Jables TT car.

Hi guys and girls hope your all having a lovely few days off. So what do we have planed for 2013; 1, Syvecs ECU development for HR 350Z, we have brought a damaged HR engine 350Z to allow us to install this into our early model development car, we have the patch loom drawn up and away being built , we will get the ECU installed and the stock car up and running on a good base map sorted ( traction and throttle maps) then we can move on to supplying a plug and play for the HR cars. 2.Trying to work a cheaper S/C kit install on the early DE cars , as the cars are getting cheaper more people are asking about the F/I upgrade , maybe a kit supplied with a base tune to allow the customer to fit the kit himself ( fuel pump cradle exchange within the deal) 3. more suspension/brakes and drive-line upgrades on all the Zed models. keep an eye on here and on our face book pages, https://www.facebook.com/AbbeyMotorsportUK https://www.facebook.com/pages/Abbey-Motorsport-Ltd/106834979341445 we will have a web site upgrade soon, done by these guys, cant wait tbh http://www.revmarketing.co.uk/ thanks for the support in 2012 and hopefully see you all in 2013.

The Management and Staff at Abbey Motorsport would like to forward The Seasons Greetings to all the petrolheads throughout the world! Although we are shut until the 2nd of January any urgent enquiries should be sent to either mark@abbeymotorsport.co.uk or tony@abbeymotorsport.co.uk These will be picked up on a regular basis and and responded to as necessary.

How deep was the water? the tidal wave caused by the other driver must had been huge to get water into stock air filter, but even a small amount of water on the AFM will cause the car to stall. The crank trigger is nearly at the bottom of the bell housing this will get covered by water this maybe the issue as well. Get the spark plugs out , crank it over to remove any water , then refit the plugs and try the car. Any questions ask away.

We tried it loads of times very hit or miss we have found. We use a EcuTek cable to turn the light off GTR EcuTek software talks to 370z Ecu.

DE or HR motor?
