Nistune requires a board to be soldiered into the ECU where as the UPREV is just a reflash via the OBD connector so no hardware needs buying or fitting.

The burn out mode is needed to allow you to hold the car on the brakes while giving the car throttle. Normally with a 350Z as soon as you touch the brake pedal it shuts the throttle down. ARC add on license allows you to remove this so allowing born outs to be carried out.

You've got the exact mod combo I want, Abbey keeps telling me anywhere near 333whp is impossible NA. Do you have any exhaust videos and dyno chart or a build thread as I'm very interested in everything you've done. As for your question, I'm guessing it's a centrifugal type which makes power as the Rpms climb unlike roots and twinscroll hence why it won't make loads of power or torque low down below 5000rpm as you say. I've only owned a 370z 5 days or so, so I'm unsure of all the superchargers available but I've had a roots charger on a FWD type R. Whilst making loads of power/torque at low rpm is great in the higher gears, say 4th onwards. In the lower gears having too much power will make at least the first 3 gears unusable (without boost limiting) as you'll be making more power/torque than the wheels can handle in terms of traction. You don't want to be pulling loads at 2000rpm in all the gears it you'll have to short shift your way up to avoid simply spinning the wheels all the time. The roots charger I had made good power and torque from 3000 onwards yet it was on the limits of traction in 2nd gear for that car/setup. As I say I've only owned this car a few days but I would guess sticking a roots or twinscroll on a 370z at high boost might give the RWD big traction issues. Even the centrifugal tyke should give some additional power and midrange and the 370z is not slow compared to my old 2.0 ltr NA 200bhp type R believe me, let alone your 333whp which you must have got used to by now! However the difference between your NA performance and a 500bhp 370z is that whether or not it has power below 5000rpm, when driven through the gears up to the redline you have super car performance, whereas right now you have quite a fast car BHP/tonne wise but not suoercar fast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This car is the biggest BHP 370Z we seen with stock headers tuned other cars with the same spec that made 10 to 15bhp less thats why I cant say use X and Y and get Z power.

I agree with Tricky thread above but the alloy pipes are situated above the Headers that cause a lot of heat the pipe sget very hot with low or no air flow and take sometime to cool down , the IAT sensor is situated in the Air flow meter sensor. Nub, I am talking about both the short and long tube Stillen headers , the short tubes do suffer from more heat soak than the long tubes, both use Alloy pipes work that holds the heat for long then plastic pipework so suffer from heat soak for longer. We feel the stock airbox/s works best overall conditions. Suffers a lot less than alloy pipework intake from heat soak. With regards seeing a 20bhp gain from a set of intakes and De-cats from a car already tuned as I said via Facebook message I cant guarantee that I am afraid. It will give what it gives on the day I am afraid. Every car is different , the most BHP we have seen from a N/A 370Z was around 320 at the hub (estimated 360 flywheel BHP) with a very expensive set of Headers made for the car which required the motor to be remove for fitment. The £ per BHP was far to expensive I felt for the gains. Tuning NA is a lot harder than a FI car to get gains of over 10% from a high bhp NA car is good going but it is going to cost a lot more per bhp than a FI car

The Stillen with the difference diameter pipework will help the rich AFR the early cars due to changing the Air Flow meter voltages but this also adds ignition timing which can cause issues We see huge heat soak with the Stillens short/long tube CAI which we don't like we find the stock airbox's work the best with drop in filters, the Stillen will give a gain at the top end but not enough to offset the heat soak issues. Do they give the gains I have never seen gains as big as this but you do see a gain but for the cost/labour costs I don't feel it is worth the money

M12 x 1.5 or M12 x 1.75? Alex. I think it is metrIc fine so will be M12 x 1.5 I think

I have some information regarding the ECU plug , the Elgrand has 2 plugs but the PIN OUT is the same between both ECU's I do have a workshop manual for the Elgrand , I can host this on my dropbox for people to down load if needed. let me know please.

Elgrand motor has lower compression/different cams as well as different headers/manifolds and totally different intake system. The cam (phase) sensors are in a different position to a 350Z so the crank/cam trigger pattern will be different. I seem to think that the connector for the ECu on a ElGrand is different to the 350Z as well would need to look through some paperwork to confirm. We could easily dump you ECU ,UpRev will de-code the ECU and then we could supply Osiris cable/license and you can tune away on your Elgrand ECu without the hassle of trying to swop ECU's

same as we quote as well @ Abbey Motorsport

what grade piston do you need, will sort one out what you need only need to pay the shipping

Really, so it seems the ECU has still been corrupted......... We have to send the ECU away to have the Idle/NATS Eprom we flashed I am afraid. Send me an email to mark@abbeymotorsport.co.uk please

and the ECU please.

Please don't open the Throttle bodies with the Battery and ECU/Throttle bodies connected, this has been know to corrupt the ECU IDLE EPROM.

We been back out in the Team Lizard Abbey Motorsport Nissan 350Z in the 2016 Britcar series , our 1st meeting was at Silverstone int he car now fitted with Quaife 69G sequential gearbox , we are now running a Dunlop Slick 265/660 x 18 all round on a 10 x 18in wheel running slicks we quickly found we needed to work more on the brake ducting. Between Silverstone and Oulton Park round we worked on the brake ducts and suspension work, tweaked the set up as well. Oulton we tested on the Friday ready for a Saturday race 2 x 50 min races together with a 20 min warm up and a 30min qualifying. We are are over the limit of the stock Nisan ABS system as we are running way above the grip level Nissan designed into the ABS ECU and the Yaw readings are also way above what Nissan Programmed into the stock ABS ecu , Bosch Motorsport M4 ABS is planed for next year Friday was sent learning the circuit for the car owner Steve Burke and my self working on set up , we changed a few things to make the car more manageable but the weather for Saturday didn't look to good Warm up was dry , I managed to work down to our quickest time , Qualifying start dry but quickly turned wet which was not good for running slicks , Steve managed his qualifying laps on slicks at a very slow pace , we changed the tyres and I run pretty well on the Dunlop wets. Race 1 came Steve started the car rolling start in the rain , it was like a monsoon after 10 mins , the organisers brought out the pace car due to dangerous condition , Steve decided to do our pitstop and I jumped in the car and once the race was started managed to get pass a few cars and had a good few laps playing with some much bigger cars. We are in production class the lowest power/weight ratio so we finish very close to the back of the grid but are having fun. Race 2 was a lot better no pace car but the track started to dry mid race and the Dunlops wets started to go off , we was trying to find standing water to cool them. So we finished 1st in our class but there is only 1 car in our class ;-( but we was racing car in the higher classes , always good fun. Few pictures below from https://www.facebook...wikPhotography/ Thanks to debbie and Andrews Sausages for the sponsorship We also say thanks to Syvecs, Quaife, AST dampers. We are trying to get organised to do the last race of the series @ Brands Hatch on the weekend of 12/13th November which is also a night race.

Oil Pressure HR motor from Nissan Workshop Manual. So even with good oil passage gaskets they only expect 14psi at idle with 80deg C oil pressure And 43psi @ 2000rpm Lee car is showing double this.

You need to check the oil pressure with another gauge to double check.

We have some pre used BC coilvers for sale. Give me a ring to discuss what you are looking for.

Compression check will not show up the oil control rings failing. The top 2 compression rings will be sealing fine. Cylinder leakage test will again not show up oil usage due to oil usage. The oil control rings lose there tension so are unable to scrap the oil from the bores. Common problem on our V6's the Rev up is the worse culprit.

check the interior air temp sensor is connected as well this is on the back of the drivers side under dash, also check the ribbon wire is pushed in correctly best way is to dis-connect inspect re-connect an refit then battery off to reset everything and re-connect and try,

old slow sensor or air leak is my guess? did you get the berks fitted?

Throttle pedal issue

cam control is different between the El Grand and the Zed engine

does annoy me when people quote gains, so if you had the exhaust and air filters it would gain 30+ bhp........

Z4Zorro , flick me a PM with oyur email addy and contact number and we can get this sorted please Thanks

Mark, I have recently acquired an '04 DE 350Z which has a few mods such as intake, plenum spacer, nismo exhaust etc and was wondering if there was an easy way for you to tell if my ECU has been uprev'd? Im quite a distance from you so don't want to book in for an uprev to find out when i get there that it has already been done and I have wasted money on fuel and time travelling down and back. What is the license allocated to? Is it the ECU itself or is it the vehicle etc? I would however be interested in having the pops and bangs on overrun if this is possible so if you could let me know a price for that, that would be great. TIA Rikki 1st thing is to PM the registration number and previous owners name. If I can tell this way we will need to read the ECU If we haven't tuned the car we will need to fully remap as you cant pull the tuned file from the ECU. If we need to retune fully pops and bangs come in the tune , to tune a car that has a license already is around £200/300-00 inc vat. If the car hasn't been tuned it is £402-00 inc vat thanks
