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

BR rev limiter adds a 2nd rev limiter to make the car pop and bang like a car is on a launch limiter , we add tweaking the map to make the car pop and bang on the over run. some cars come out good some cars don't (sorry Vlad) If you car is a car that has usage multi maps when Upreved I can provide a non adjustable launch control system without the Uprev add on's , when they become available for our cars these are going to cost extra I am afraid. When I add launch control you will lose 1 of the usable multi maps Uprev is £402-00 inc vat Thanks

Hi, we run a HR based 350z trackcar and also race a 350z in the Brit car series. Any info ask away Thanks

Pops and bangs is just a upgrade Abbey do. Doesn't look like the UK DE car owners will get any of the new updates as the Developers @ Uprev aren't able to get the extra code into the Eprom. This is why you guys cant have mutli maps either. Any other car with multi maps should have the choice when the new extra's come on line soon.

The mods Chris has fitted and we tuned with EcuTek on our in house dyno produced around 350/355bhp.

Rich, if you need any help haggling with the insurance re values I am happy to help. thanks

Okay forgot to add some pricing; Cobra HFC's and full exhaust system and HKS filters is normally £2160-43 inc vat we can offer a discounted deal off £1421.09 inc vat which is discounted around 32% from normal price. any questions ask away Thanks

Any one with a 370Z want a deal on a Cobra exhaust and ECUTEK remap; We are looking to do a Package deal with Cobra exhaust(optional HFC's) and a ECUTEK programming cable/Tune for self fit and loading the tuned file. So we need a car to produce the base tunes on. In return for lending us a car we can offer you a super deal for yourself. We will need a manual and a Auto car EcuTek tuned file that will be good for every car. Further tuning on a dyno will help to a little better power/torque. Spec will be 1. Cobra exhaust (resonated/un resonated) inc vat Y pipe , Panel drop in filters and ECUTEK programming kit with base tune) 2. Cobra exhaust (resonated/un resonated) inc vat Y pipe + Cobra HFC's, Panel drop in filters and ECUTEK programming kit with base tune) These kits will be available for Abbey Motorsport/TarmacSportz and Cobra exhausts once everything is in place . Costings coming soon but it will be an awesome deal.

free dyno time for anyone with a larger TB.

We done a few and it isn't an easy job. You have to fit all the Looms from a HR not just the engine loom. We rewire the extra items needed. Radiator/front panel @ headlamp panels are all different. Gearbox is different as well. Engine sits in the same place , bonnet bulge is for the HR intake but run without a strut brace and a early bonnet will fit. HR will always make more power than a DE just a better motor and is as tunable as the DE. thanks

Been tuning a lot of cars with ECUTEK lately remotely; below is a datalog plot from a 37)Z fitted with bolt ons. This is the 1st datalog , we have such good base maps for these car now we can tune your cars (370Z) very well without anytime on the dyno. Time on a dyno will improve the tune but if you cant get to us remote tuning will be a far better way forward than not tuning at all. RED is target AFR BLUE/GREEN is logged Air fuel ratio and PURPLE is Bank #! air flow meter voltage any questions ask away

Hi Mark, this is something I am looking at for later this year. I currently have the Gen3 intakes and Ark Grip exhaust. Will having stock cats on the car restrict the remap in any way? I hadn't originally planned on fitted HFCs or decats, mainly from a volume perspective. Thanks, Matt Hi, the main restriction will be the stock cats. The Stock Nissan Cats has 2 Cat bricks within the 1 casing.

In stock @ Abbey Motorsport. Can do a discounted deal with your dyno time as well.

With some work and a Link G4+plug n Play ECU and a BMW M3 E46 throttle motor it will be a reasonable easy job to sort out We have our HR running on Syvecs S8 so that will run on ITB's easily. We will also be developing a Link G4+ Thunder/Fury ecu upgrade soon as well. Thanks
