Done

Thanks mike btw

I have decided to go ahead and book up my UPREV with abbey and im defo looking foward to the remap, my question is though, what kind of extra stress will be put on my engine and transmission, can the Z handle the extra horses? im expecting my clutch to wear out faster but anything i should be aware of?

I.E what upgrades should i get once i have a Z with more HP than normal, does the tranny need uprating + engine components... (my main concern is 100% WOT... im not sure that IS a good thing? especially in say 1st gear.

Also im contemplating getting a plenum spacer fitted for the remap to go along with my K&N panel filter on my otherwise stock Z... how much would it cost for you guys to fit a plenum spacer?

Was thinking of doing it for my new PF pads that will arrive soon but still not feeling 100% confident

 

I installed PF pads - these are the buggers that are currently squeeling!! (I am sure it's my fault more than the pads)

 

Got to say they work very well!!

 

They managed to hold the road very well whilst at the Nurburgring, just a shame I never got round to fitting my HEL lines and higher performance fluid. The result of using stock fluid and lines resulted in getting a very squishy brake pedal half way round the track

 

hmm, as anders would say... get braided lines I think i want some braided lines thinking about it

how long is the air present in the pipe for, surely not long enough to be heated?

 

for the sake of loosing 1BHP I think shiny is ALWAYS worth it

Make somthing else shiny that doesnt hinder performance instead? I don't know, each to thier own

tempted to find out, moines coming in life is good

 

I'm asking the dude selling these a few Q's at the moment, have a feeling they don't know much about what they are selling... I should really just leave it since down the line I'll be getting a different polished pipe...you buy it!

wouldn't a metal pipe absorb more heat than the plastic.... again losing more BHP?

how often do you look under the hood? id rather have stock box + panel filter for more juice

 

Yeah I know what you mean but I do want the engine to look great... that's the only part of the car that's changing!!

then get a panel filter and plenum spacer? for the sake of opening your bonnet and staring at a shiny pipe for a few seconds, i dont think its worth it

while your at it, get an uprated clutch?

 

Nice idea - looks like they'll be doing under warranty though - going in next thursday.

 

Bloody hell thats good of them, clutch under warranty, what Nissan stealership is that?!

 

Will reveal once they confirm they're doing it - they seem to think they can get it done after only 11k - I'm not holding my breath though It's not even been driven hard ffs so if they don't do it I'll be very pi**ed off!!

Good luck with it mate and if you dont have any luck there are plenty of us to help on here

Hopefully this story has a happy ending

your ability to change gear? Just joshing!

 

remember, if you can't find it - grind it!

Excuse me?

or you could if your desperate get the car rolling down a hill, have the keys in and in the "on" position then lift the clutch up at around 6,7mph.

Either that or get some people to push it to that kind of speed.

Actually, does this work in the z with the clutch down to turn over the engine sort of safety feature?

What about postal order?

I'm a bit skint at the moment, does anyone want to sponsor me so I can get a built engine

 

I've been following this project for 2 years & while it is unfortunate that its failed at this stage, I don't think sponsorship is necessary. Its a car, there are more important things in life than finishing a project like this IMO

I suppose if you get it to 5 forums and 50 from each forums donates that 250 with say a donation of 5 quid that could really help?

hmm hold on he needs sponsorship

Jawdrop Ledgendary

Perhaps the "for sale" section here?

If not a member might come along soon to help or maybe Zman?

No problemo amigo

Broken link for me mate

Id personally put the stock 06 box on with a panel filter for performance over a sound improvement + looks i guess.

The usual....

got this from the autoglym site:

Leather Care Balm is a carefully blended emulsion containing soaps, natural oils and polymeric surface proofing agents which nourish, moisturise and provide protection from marks and staining. Regular light treatment will preserve the natural appearance and characteristics of automotive and motorcycle leather, with the added benefit of easy cleaning and ongoing spill protection.

Leather Care Balm is primarily a feeder and protectant for use on clean or pre-cleaned leather. Soiled leather should first be cleaned with Autoglym Leather Cleaner.

Leather Care Balm is also suitable for use on motorcycle leathers. Soiled leather should first be cleaned with Autoglym Motorcycle Leather Cleaner.

Instructions:

Shake well (the bottle, I presume)

Always test a small inconspicuous area first to check for water staining and colour fastness. Apply Leather Care Balm to a soft cotton cloth, Autoglym Polishing Cloth is ideal, or an Autoglym Perfect Palm Applicator. Gently massage into the surface of the leather and continue massaging until the creaminess disappears.

Allow a few minutes for absorbtion to take place then buff briskly with a clean soft cotton cloth, turning the cloth frequently until any surplus balm disappears.

The optimum proofing benefits will be achieved after approximately 48 hours when the protectant will have fully cured.

Thinking more about it, may get a 125cc bike

I got bosch with a spoiler on it to match the oem one

halfrauds indeed..
