    Good stuff! Did you notice a change in engine noise or exhaust note? Got any graphs of the output? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lol! Sounds good guys! So my understanding is that pops and bangs are always there but depending on the exhaust it makes it louder or silences it. Pops and bangs are caused by overrun which is when the inlet valves and exhaust valves are momentarily opened simultaneously. all cars have a bit of overrun since it helps to clear the cylinders and is more efficient. People like us love the sounds though. So the pops and bangs are fuel which is being ignited in the exhaust. Too much and it fouls the sensors. So I may get some O2 spacers to get them out of the main flow. I only know this stuff since I done it at university but not had a chance to play about with more or less overrun on a map. I'm trying to find or get the valve data for the f type to see how much overlap they have Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hey I'm considering getting an uprev on the zed. I was wondering if it's possible to program a little overrun on the map to get the noise like the F type has? Has anyone done this? How has it been? Any issues with O2 sensors being fouled or have you fitted O2 sensor spacers? Also for the 5 maps I was considering 1. Sport max with overrun 2. Sport mode 3. 95 Ron mode (proper map made on 95 Ron petrol) 4. Valet mode and limit revs to 2k 5. Blank What are your thoughts. Anyone else done something similar? Anyone else have a proper 95 Ron map and not just a limp mode map? Finally what gains will I see if I just have Berks hfc? There seem to be mixed reviews about intakes so I will just leave them Standard I think. Anyone notice an exhaust more change after the uprev? I've heard a few say it tones the exhaust down a bit?

  4. That connector is useless anyways. I bought two and the both broke. Only solution is to buy a connector from Maplin and wire it in. Search in the forums. Works really well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Looks fab when on and in the flesh! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I've got this lip with the cf fang cover and it looks great. Can recommend it highly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Any prices? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Awesome thanks for the response Hmm okay maybe I need to increase the number of days then. I don't want to drive forever though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Hey The wife and I want to take the zed for a drive to Europe. I've never been for a drive to Europe and I'm looking for recommendations. Thinking no longer than about 4-5 days. Would prefer to take the ferry over from Newcastle since it's fun but I'm not sure if the lowered zed will have any problems getting on. Anyone else taken their zed onto a very before? I would love to do a scenic route with tourist activities so thinking maybe heading towards Monaco and the amalfi Coast? Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Cool. As discussed, I would have liked to have come tomorrow but going off on holiday in 2 days and got so much to do so I'll get mine done when I'm back if that okay? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I made a 850 mile round trip to Marcus! His work was good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. i would be interested in this. how much of the exhaust does it cover? i have issues with my exhaust scraing and i risk pulling the flanges. so i would rather scrape this than my exhaust. any fitted pics to a 370z would be great
  13. Why not just keep them and run winter wheels? Night and day difference mate. That's what I'm doing with my setup Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. If you want to reduce rasp don't take out the mid silencers. You need a different back box. The rasp is caused by removing restrictions further upstream. I personally like the rasp. Sounds like a jap car. Plenty of people go for the low rumbles which I tend to leave to the scooby and corsa lovers lol But I wouldn't recommend removing the mid silencer if you don't was a metallic rasp note Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    370z 20" wheels

    They will do at the end of July. I'm considering getting 19 fronts and 20 tears lol suoercar style. Not been done before though even in the states Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Is the uprev that you offer have the same functionality as the one abbey offers such as valet mode, 95 Ron mode sport and sport plus mode? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I'm considering whether I should hold out for the 19s mate. Or get tyres which are not as high on the sidewalks but I fear ride quality will be compromised. How's it been for you with the 20s over the 19s? Notice a difference? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Hey mate. Do you get any rubbing on the front? Maybe when cornering or has it been okay? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Ace! That's just around the corner Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Yeah sign me up too! Need to see where you are based first! Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Looks ace mate. Well done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Looks the shiz! Any more pics bud? As you know I'm considering the wheels too so would be interested to know how the 9j's are in comparison. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Good duff Daniel. Sure the car will look amazing once your finished (if modding ever had a finish!) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Ditto How did the fitting of springs go? Any rubbing issues? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wheel dilemma

    Would love the 20s but I think my brain is now saying get the 19s since I already have 2 tyres for them. So a qu about figment, all of the 19inch wheels come in 8.5j or 9.5j. Since the zed stock is 9j and 10j what size should I go for? I would like to aim to keep the rolling radius the same on the fronts and the same or larger on the rear to close the arch gap a little. Stock tyres are 240/40/19 and 275/35/19. Can I run these on the 8.5 and 9.5 respectively? Or should I run s square setup? Not sure if it may mess up dynamics of the car Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
