did the £399-00 quote include alignment.

I would think 3 hours for the springs  + alignment

In relation to the expected SC kits sold it isn't worth developing a SC kit I feel. We have all suffered from the US $ strengthening against the UK £ and the GTM kit was a pretty good kit until the company folded. 

We stopped supplying this set up when our supplier folded his business I am afraid

Those are hub torque figures. You would of had 2 sets of dyno plots. The above plot is hub torque and hub bhp. The other plot will be flywheel torque and AFR plots.

you can divide the hub torque by the overall final drive ratio on the plot to get a flywheel figure

Is it definitely the o2 sensors, what is the code? Surprised Jez didnt turn them off to be honest.

 Car hasn’t been tuned 

@nub did you see this thread re a MK2 Nismo on a UK dyno.

after what was been spoken on the Facebook page re Nismo  370Z BHP

Doesn't sound right. Stock BHP on the Nismo should be 339 BHP as you have stated.

I agree it should be around 340 bhp stock. Some people quote 350BHP for a MK2 Nismo but I am sure it is 339/340bhp.

I am not questioning Horsham Dyno just the numbers seems a little  low

wheel or flywheel BHP figures?

If they are long tube headers the stock Cats wont fit anyway. These bolt up direct to the Y pipe

The headers will bolt on but I seem to remember the dimension on a HR header is different for a DE for scavenging effects. 

Is the dyno local to Zagreb?

What engine management system are you using on the Zed?

If your speaking to wiring specialities your talking to the right people.

If you go Link ECU they already have the 350Z Canbus data so that saves a huge amount of time.

Wiring Specialites will be able to make the loom take any of the Link ECU’s that are capable to of running 6 cylinder motors. Should be plug and play. 

Peak cylinder pressure will be around max torque which looking at the above graph will be around 3000rpm

https://www.blackcircles.com/helpcentre/tyres/how-do-i-know-if-my-tyres-are-run-flat-tyres

look at the sidewall numbers/letters

more power/torque at lower RPM is going to stress the components more (rods/pistons) due to cylinder pressure and the RPM (lower RPM means the motor is seeing peak cylinder pressure for longer) Cylinder pressure is higher when a motor is making the peak torque higher RPM means peak cylinder pressure is lower and sees the peak cylinder pressure for a shorter time.

This is the issue with the DE/REV UP VQ motors and the weak con rods

If you turbo the motors on stock rods when your in a big gear (5th/6th) cruising on the motor way you open the throttle car makes full boost very quickly due to load but accelerates slowly so seeing peak torque=high cylinder pressure for a long time and this will cause the con-rods to fail. If the car was SC this wouldn't happen as boost is in relation to RPM but once the motor is making higher RPM the motor sees peak torque later on in the RPM range.

This is why we  can tune a SC car to over 400+ bhp on a stock DE/REV UP motor but we tune the torque out of the turbo car to make it safe.

sounds like a worn valve bucket to my ear it is definitely at cam speed. Only way to really check is to pull the cam covers off and check the valve clearances if one is a long way out of tolerance it is a major job to change, front cover etc off to allow the cam chain to be removed to allow the cams to be removed. 

Those castor readings are spot on what we see on the later 70's.

I would of set the car up with less Toe on the front (more closer to parallel) would help these cars a lot , the later 2018 cars drive better than the early 370Z on Bridgestones but not if the alignment was as bad as this car was when initialled checked.

We have never seen a new car with a good alignment set up.

Yes they do , the HR 350Z and the early 370Z motors used the same paper gasket the later 370Z used a re-inforced gasket set

Maybe it had a cam chain change and the seller just got a little mixed up.

@Mark@Abbey m/s What is your opinion or experience of the 3D wheel alignment systems which seem very similar to the Hunter systems but seem to cost half the price for alignments?

The Hunter is the best system we feel @Abbey Motorsport we viewed and use all the top end system before we brought our Hunter Hawkeye 4 years ago. 

The main thing is to ensure the people using the machine understand your car when carrying out an alignment , we see a lot of alignment carried on a Hunter System that are not very good , although the numbers are green within tolerance , there is still thrust angles due to the car not being set up as square.

Out of interest, how much was your check? My place can only do 2 wheel, but I'm friendly with a guy at my local ETS, and he said with his staff discount I'd be looking at £75 for the alignment. But I have nothing to compare that to, and google is impersonal, I prefer to ask you guys. 

If we run the car on the alignment ramp onto just check the alignment will be £30-00 inc vat

Full alignment on a 350Z is £120-00 inc vat. (3 adjustments)

Un-seizing adjusters is extra.

We can also carry out Corner weighting bump steer plotting .

From what I gather, nowt can be adjusted on the rear of a standard 350z. No point paying for "4 wheel alignment" if only the front axle can be adjusted, is my thinking. I think the rears are hooked up on the machine purely as a point of chassis reference to the front, showing thrust angle.

Yep rear camber/track can be adjust on the rear off a 350Z , we do see cars with the eccentrics bolts seized but we carry these in stock. Front off a 350Z you can only adjust track. We advise to have a alignment check every 6 months with the state of our roads in the UK.You be surprised how much the alignment will change. And make sure the Hunter Hawkeye system is used awesome system but we are biased as we have one of these excellent systems in house @ Abbey Motosport.
