throttle maps or valet maps no, any maps the require tuning i.e 95 octane maps yes we charge extra.

we use the multi map function to give you 5 different throttle response maps.

DE motor and Mrev2 I feel is a waste of cash. They only seem to work on the Rev Up motor helps to feel the hole in the torque curve that the Rev Up has from stock. Kinetix plenum is a waste of time/money they crack and split especially on a F/I motor. Cosworth plenum work well on S/C cars thou but you wont see a good gain unless you run a little more boost.

313 car can have mult-imaps and the cruise control will work like normal; Hold down the toggle switch ( accelerate/slow switch) right hand of steering wheel , while holding this down press the cancel switch say 3 times , if the car has been Uprev'ed the SET light the cruise will flash 3 times, When you Uprev a late car you can have 5 different maps.

what model 350Z do you have? maybe it has multi maps? easy to tell if it has been Uprev'ed then

its all to do with the variable lift/variable cam timing and cold start map. Once the car has been running a short time and warmed up it revert sback to the normal running map.

Yep, another car had a charger fitted last week , 440bhp @ the hubs running race cats.

I am still working on the hot/cold start cranking hesitation, most cars seem sorted now but Olly your car is a little different as it is N/A not F/I like all the other larger injectors car we have tuned.

looks to me you just drive the car properly; The rear camber is adjustable the front isn't I am afraid , the tracking can make the tyre's wear funny thou.

Darren, does the damaged cat look like it has run hotter than the other side? also what side failed? I have seen this happen after the cats have been knocked about causes the catalyst brick to become dislodged then it cant radiate the heat properly. if you need a map tweak just send me a email. pretty busy at the moment thou.

Personally I don't think the % loss works , it has been debated so many times. Look just at the gains before and after dyno work. I doubt a 370Z will gain 40bhp from exhaust work and a remap thou , the most gain we have ever seen is Hub 30bhp from a 370Z N/A car with a full decat + system ,+ Motordyne plenum mod + remap.

Sure it was Abbey not AEM? I would not use a Haltech , would advise to use a Syvecs stand alone before a Haltech ECU. To tune the car with Uprev at a minimum your also need a Uprev Air Flow meter to go with the Uprev License and remap. This will cost including dyno time £1042.00 inc vat. I would prefer to tune the car with a fuel return system , to keep the base fuel pressure constant , running a F/I car with out a fuel return system your lowering the base fuel pressure as the boost climbs , this can cause the injector spray pattern to deteriorate, running a fuel return system allow the fuel preesure to ris ein relation to boost pressure so keeping the base fuel pressure consistent. But I have tuned car without a fuel return systems fitted. Running the remapped stock ECU give you full diagnostics, limp home, if you have cruise fitted this will still work and you can have multi maps ( I tend to just have different throttle response's. I can add a unleaded map but I also tend to set these up with lower rev limit and speed limit's to ensure the car isnt driven hard on unleaded fuel and the engine could be damaged. Any more questions ask away.

Still working on a date for the dyno day , It maybe a struggle to get anything sorted before September though, I have a calender already full up in August due to oversea trips with Project Zed drag car, July also seems to be booked up as well. Will you people be willing to wait until September?

You spoke to someone @ Abbey? I have't spoke to you I am sure and I don't know of any hand held devices for tuning the split second box, these are tuned via a program on a laptop. Get rid of the split second box , fit a fuel return system and tune the car with Uprev system, car will drive far better and be controlled better these cars dont like piggy back systems.

If your running a S/C I would be very carefully fitting cams, running anymore overlap will cause drop in boost pressure and the cams will not give the gain you would think. The Stillen running in stage 3 spec is on it's limit I would say, we have found they aren't very efficient at stage 1 level let alone @ stage 3 boost levels. Headers I have said this before they aren't worth the money to fit labour wise unless you have the motor out , they don't give the gains people think on a stock rod/piston and valve spring car as you a rev limited to RPM. The cars running uprated cam springs/caps/rods and pistons and headers give a gain at the top end we have found but on a stock motor they aren't worth fitting. What ECU have you tuned your car with? running stock AFM and Stillen injectors? Best gain on a DE or a Rev Up motor is a HKS/GTM or Vortech S/C tuned to run around 380ish hub bhp. nice car to drive, very smooth power/torque curve.

send me your address |I will send you a o ring free of charge. Mark

yep agree but still a nice car tbh.

sorry customer found a car in the end and it wasn't a Zed ended up the a Boxter S.......

When you adjust the rear camber/track , you have to adjust both eccentric together as they work against each other , the Zed is a little tricky to get the rear camber/track within specification.

If you fit a single piece flywheel your an even louder rattle noise at idle and low speed. Fit a new dual mass flywheel and your be happy I am sure.

Quaife sold I am afraid. You can convert to 1.5way but I need to get a price; Pretty loud , cracks on slow speed corners. Standard diff is a viscous; 1.5 way only semi locks on over run 2.0 way fully locks on over run

I have for sale a pre owned Tomei 2 way LSD , with bearings but no oil' needs to be fitted into your diff casings, we can do this for you if needed; By abbeymotorsport at 2012-06-19 By abbeymotorsport at 2012-06-19 By abbeymotorsport at 2012-06-19 It will be noisy but will enable your Zed to have so much more traction , ideal for a track day car or drift car. I would like £375-00 for it , it is my personal diff. Or I could swap this for the Quaife LSD fitted in Mr Lizards 350Z race car and sell the Quaife diff for the same money. The Quaife is a very sensible nice road car LSD , very quiet in operation. Any questions please email me mark(@)abbeymotorsport.co.uk

The VXR is 1.6ltr so it is half the capacity of a Zed so that will always make the car more economical but once the turbo kicks in it will produce a good amount of BHP. On a turbo car when your cursing along the car running off of boost so the car will always be using less fuel. The 350Z runs in closed loop fuel control for a lot of time so we cant lean the car off any more , The variable cam control is mapped so when the car is on small openings it is a position that makes the car as economical as possible. We can remap the throttle to make the car less responsive at small throttle openings so it will use less fuel but I know you give the car more throttle to get going so your use more fuel in the end. 20/23mph on a combined run isnt bad for a 3.5ltr motor TBH.

A turbo car will always be better on fuel, no boost means the best economy , a Zed isnt the best car on fuel , It wont be any better fuel than your VXR I am afraid , cars heavier as well.

I would be willing to do a Saturday dyno day. Will need some carefully planing thou , as we seem to have a yard full of cars at the moment, I will need to get the go ahead with the landlords to make sure I can run the dyno for a full day on a Saturday. Will be good to run all the Zeds on a hub dyno runs can be with bonnet up or down , AFR and boost curves's can be supplied as well. Keep the list going and we will see when we can organise a day for you guys n girls
