Yes I have a couple of 06' air boxes , once my UK car is ready to go , I will try one out. But if you have a remap I am sure you get a few more ponies. Reason I ask about number of runs as we find the 1/2nd runs will show a gain then the car will not allow car to run with full map figures i.e timing degree,s figures. You see dyno figures a fair bit down on the 1/2nd runs , your find your need 6/8 runs to get a proper figure on a dyno. Mark

Prices for the Motordyne are attached to this mail; Will keep XYZ pipe sin stock. The expensive Shockwave Ti Dual system comes with a XYZ pipe with a resonator so for a complete system is not a bad price for a top quality system Any questions ask away. Mark

MattG, what was the wheel bhp please , and how many runs did you do? Mark

XYZ pipe looks really nice , I have one in my office , whats works real well with this items is that you can order it with a decat pipe and also have a cat for MOT purposes , far more easy to swop over than both cats like on a STD cat set up. Also carrying BERKS De-cat pipes in stock now. Mark

We have been in discussion with Motordyne over the last few weeks , we are now able to supply the excellent Motordyne products direct. I am working out retail prices. Hope to have these sorted within 2/3 days,will most probably be just a percentage off of the US price as there is so manyproducts they list, saves me working out every individual price. We will ship these items in bulk so the deals will be as good as we can get, but as a offical limited company we always get caught by the import duty and VAT men. Looking forward to dealing these excellent products. http://www.motordyneengineering.com Hope to have a delivery of parts within the next 2 weeks

1 thing that may work , turns the lights on or turn the interior light on , this will load the battery enough to make the charger work , sometimes helps recover a battery.

Good evening , have fun in your new toy. Mark

Yes your car will still try to retard ignition but it wont shut the throttle like a stock car,so it maybe better than the stock system. We aren,t very far away from being able to remap the stock traction control set up via the UPREV system , the stock JDM cars TC is horrible and the UK cars a little better , I am sure we can make it work real well.,just like it should do

Traction uses the stock fly by wire throttle as well as multi cylinder spark cut, Alex I am sure we run your car on a throttle cable so the TC will only be partial working and not very well. All the system you have said about will work very well , to be able to retain TC you have to keep the fly by wire. Haltech keeps the cam control where as the HKS needs another control box to allow cam control and has no closed loop lambda control without extra add on parts , Uprev remaps the stock ecu so you retain all the stock system , CEL light control traction,crusie control. choice is yours, any questions feel free to ask .

Morning , 350Z does look good in the dark blue , your other car is pretty awesome as well. welcome to the site. Mark

If the heater is intermitent , I would say you have an air lock , I would try bleeding the system 1st thou , it is a problem with the 350z the cooling system is a little to complicated with water pipes higher than the radiator. Mark

so good he said it twice.....LOL Does the heater blow hot or cold air even when on the maximium heat position? May need bleeding if the above is relevant? Mark

Has the car got a CEL on all the time? If 1 fan is running it means there is a problem? Mark

Sounds more like a throttle problem to throw those lights on. Hopefully the fault wont come back. Would of been good to have known the CEL code thou.

You can get the alloy cover jubilee clips they look better, it is just the braided hose is hard work to work with , the braided cover un-ravels , causing cut fingers and hands, also the stainless braided covering works like a file when it rubs agaisnt other materials , seen it wear throu alloy casings/radiators etc etc , all need isolating from rubbing anything. Mark

but I will, care when I see it.....

braided steel lines are good , but only if you use the proper re-usable connections , used with jubilee clips itlooks is pants. I would run the extra return line in high pressure rubber pipe ( fuel injection pipe) , easier to work with less agressive when it is contact with other pipes/wiring. Mark

connection on inside is connected to a black flexi hose that comes from the passenger side of the fuel tank. Only 1 pipe outside the tank that needs fitting. I dont think the pipe inside would fit on the feed pipe 1,the inner pipe is much smaller and 2,it,s not long enough 3, it will get crushed when you bolt the pump back down. hope that helps you must be getting near to run the old girl!!!!!!

We have seen this a couple of times , you need to remove the plastic cover and clean and lubricate the idler spindle. fairly easy to be honest. Then do a reset, should all be good , your not that far from us either

Colin, you brought it then from CD Nissan , my friend said they had sold a white 370Z, nice car. Mark

Scorpion system is a little louder than a STD system , if fitted with a Y pipe and a remap gives a gain in bhp/torque. Mark

How does it affect torque Mark? I think most of us on the here go for the thrill of acceleration on the road (attributable to torque AFAIK) rather than top speed (where you need HP). I'm not trying to be clever but I just wondered if that's the reason why we daily drivers don't notice an appreciable difference with the higher octane fuel. did you see my earlier question Mark ... I'm keen to get your views The cars only listen for Detonation(knock) to around 5000rpm after this it it to noisy to use a knock sensor to run closed loop knock control. If you run 95 octane the ECU will allow enough ignition to run nearly stock ignition timing up to around 5000rpm , thats why the cars dont feel that down on torque and bhp when running 95 octane fuel , over that RPM your running the risk of detonating a motor. Also the stock fuel map is pretty rich so this helps control detonation. The cars when you tune on 95 octane we find you cant tune close to det threshold , 95 once it start detonating doesnt stop where as super will run close and not walk into fall detonation. We find once you get the cars on the dyno, reset the ECU take approx 6/8 pulls to settle down to give good figures. This is the time for the car to wind the ignition in to give reasonable bhp/torque. hope this helps. Mark

really , never heard of that to be honest, run a few imports on the dyno never found they was any different from a UK or US ecu , all work in the same way ,276bhp JDM early US cars run narrow band 02 sensors , all UK cars and late US 276bhp cars run wide band 02 sensors , self tune to ecu parameters,ignition timing self learns as well.

I imagine that the ECU in the import is capable of switching maps if it is continually fed with 95 RON, it will just keep pulling timing until its forced to use a default map by the det sensors going all the time. It probably will feel better in slow stop start traffic because it will be running retarded ignition timing, but it will not do much for the high RPM band. high det ignition map pulls around 5 degrees of ignition timing in relation to low det map , also running 95 octane in a high compression motor is a no go I am afraid. Car will self learn the ignition your see around -30 bhp on a dyno run running 95 octane. Mapped a few cars to run on 95 octane thou , they run around 260ish bhp after setting up. Mark

Jerry thought they fixed your car after fitting a new ECU? Have you got sports cats fitted?
