Agreed but for every example you can't just add a set percentage figure to calculate bhp ie the op with the seized caliper. What is the efficiency of the 350z drive train? typically Appreciate your time Rich David

But not a set percentage figure, that's why the run down is done I guess. Why does more power mean bigger losses?

I have a habit of trash talking any and all dyno threads, so for my latest I thought I'd start a fresh. No not really , transmission losses are a percentage , the resistance goes up with the horsepower you are moving the same mass yes but quicker and so take more effort I personally don't think you can just use a set percentage figure to calculate the bhp figure. While hosting a rolling road meet, a stock 350z DE puts down 240whp. The next is a fresh JDM fairlady z, so jdm it still has single pot calipers. Anyways owner goes its got exhaust, larger tb, decats, tomei cams, tomei headers and manmanagement. Once warmed up the idle is a tad lumpy tbf. Does its run and makes 250whp, well bolt on UK DE's make that with a remap? You add your percentage and hand the owner a print out for 290bhp. Later its found that one of the rear calipers was partial siezed , maybe sat at the docks to long. So the brakes are now sorted and the car again comes back for a run and makes 265whp. Well all along the engine was 300bhp+ so was it right to simply use a % or should the losses have been calucalated through run down?

Different dyno shouldn't affect transmission losses? Also transmission losses isn't a percentage its an actual HP figure. For example a stock car with 200bhp has losses of 30hp (170whp). If its then boosted and tuned to 400bhp, the whp would be 370 not 340whp (same brakes, wheels, tyres and pressures)

Love 'before' snaps

Post number #166 above, has similar whp and made over 300hp at the flywheel

Only read the first line, Noooooooooooooooooooo

Just did this as my plip had stopped working remotely. I was only able to get it to work with the drivers door open. If anyone in the west midlands is having trouble doing this, I be more than happy to lend a hand. David

reportedly the Zed on turn in is set up for slight understeer anyways, so a touch extra bit on the front end might be no bad thing?

I always thought worn drop links result in a knock, rather than a squeak?

Why?

Love these updates

If you only need x1 tyre, jump on that p zero for now and then look to sort the abs issue out. Driven sensibly you'll have no issues

Looks lush

Post a video pal

Fab video, enjoyed it Thanx for sharing

ecu reset

The one spacer I can see is on top of the strut brace foot on the drivers side. The spacer should go on the stud and the strut bar on top, ie all spacers under the feet and strut bar adjuster re tighten. I like your tpms install

You have your new strut brace spacer on wrong.........

You can disable the anti hijack feature from an early 350z

Ello n welkom Snap on the car

looks great

Bonus of led rear lamps too. August last year you were so lucky that hose didn't let go on you on the road!!!
