  1. Another remap will only be about £100 because you already have the licence. The Uprev licence fee is £100 you only need to pay that once
  2. You cant really have a low biting point and reduced travel but adjustments can be made, usually a lot of clutch issues on the HR can be traced to the fairly poor stock slave cylinder for which there is no cheap fix . The kits that replace the clutch slave cylinder like the Xtreme ones seem to give a more consistent feel as does fitting the single mass flywheel , coupled with a braided line at the same time is pretty much as good as it gets
  3. Take the boot plastics out first so you dont need to go into the interior once your hands are all dirty Decent wire brush on the threads and plenty of WD40 or Plus Gas
  4. and then some , yes , they are approaching the 1000hp mark on the Hayabusa engine
  5. Yes hence the phrase "You can never have too much power but you can have insufficient traction "

    Air Intake

    At the end of the straight at the Shanghai circuit where the car is travelling at close to 330kph with DRS open, the air pressure hitting the air filter will be close to 1,070 millibar – normal ambient air pressure is around 1,020 millibar. This means the engine produces around 5% more power – equivalent to 40 bhp – than at ‘walking speed’. Interesting article here http://www.racecar-engineering.com/articles/f1/technology-explained-f1-airboxes-filters/ I used to be very involved in a class of drag racing where modifications were limited and only normally aspirated engines permitted, in this world every single hp you make is important and air boxes were complicated things that required significant thought and experimentation
  7. Stainless systems always mellow after a bit of use
  8. I've ridden 300hp plus bikes and have mates with 500hp plus ones . they are all still usuable and fun but the more power you have the less opportunity you have to use it
  9. No James TDI North are nothing to do with us. I will let you know if EcuTek is better with the auto box this week as my car is in at the moment but we think it will be The gearbox can be tweaked a little with Uprev also so if the problem on really manifested itself after the remap then maybe that can be corrected
  10. A bit irrelevant if you ask me Rich, Nissan says at 7AT gearbox oil is lifetime use, doesn't need to be changed. James, any chance you have some OBD reader to check if there are any errors stored? A Consult III would be perfect. Has your car been mapped recently? If so, UpRev or EcuTek? Yep lots of manufactuers say that but changing the fluid often results in smoother and faster shifts . The tranmission oil gets very hot and the fluid has a hard life
  11. Age /mileage and have you had the fluid changed ?
  12. Nissan manuals dont like being rushed
  13. You dont need a tapley meter to do a zed the lsd is fine on a brake tester as its very low speed , its 4wd cars thats more of an issue

    Not always a small loss , we have had cars with aftermarket intakes make 10% less power than those with stock

    Spraying gas around an engine isnt a good idea since the motor can suck it in , I've seen this happen with those nitrous spraybar systems People have actually done this?! Or is it just for nitrous injection as opposed to cooling.. Yes , was a "thing" at one time

    Wouldnt have a great impact on the economy at all , not that that is a prime consideration running a large capacity supercharged engine Its something I have been looking into a fair bit recently

  20. I would be better if remapped but will still smell more than a stock car or one with hfc's .
  21. Impossible to do on mine. i bet it will give more than a lot of other parts people buy. Its going in the bin soon
  22. Time for a new one , they do break up over time
  23. My son is a guitarist , I feel your pain
