Someone give Womble a medal! Cheers. Those figures look pretty accurate mate. As indicated were a little higher as expected. That's some long gears! Bringing me back to the original point that a HR has potential to be a really quick car IF you can keep it in the power band and aren't scared of high revs in a RWD car!

Ye I think it's like a percentage out. So the higher the speed, the more it's out. The main reason I was asking is because it makes the car very tough to get the most out of it. It pulls well in all gears at most speeds. But the HR especially needs to be up the Rev range to be competitive against similar spec'd cars. (I'm scared my friend in a CTR will spank me!) 😂

What WILL it do? It did indicated. I did the run myself.

Indicated must be higher as expected. But that's the same in most cars. A true 99mph in 3rd is mental.

Ye it seemed to be more like

1st gear 46

2nd gear 78

3rd gear 110

On a private road of course...

There must be official figures. With the HR going mental at around 5,500 it makes using that power band really hard. You can be at 30mph and need to put it in 1st if you don't want to sit there waiting for it to take off. And like wise if you was at 55 you would be looking at 2nd! In a RWD drive car that's a little scary!

Probably just clear reflectors on front bumper. Leaving it standard for a while whilst I'm still enjoying it anyway.

I don't think they're anywhere near as dark as they look in pics. Think is just the angle! Full black interior makes it look worse

Interesting question which is very difficult to quantify as every rolling road/ hub dyno will give a different reading so you never really know how much power your car is delivering,but what you do get on all of them is called "the gain".

Put simply,run car on the dyno to get a standard power figure then add new mods/ uprev and dyno again!

This sounds great in principle but as we all know you bolt on the mods and then dyno the car as it's an expensive exercise to dyno the stock motor and then go back again to tune!

Just out of interest I looked in my rather thick folder and found my original dyno chart when I first started modifying my car.

The car.

2007 hr 14k miles

Modifications.

K and N typhoon induction kit,Japspeed k2 exhaust.

289.1at the fly on surrey rolling road.

Once uprev installed she pushed out 309.4.

Your car will breath better than mine did with the y pipe and the berks so you could see

315.

Without the uprev all mods will just gain noise!

Any ideas why your car was running 20bhp down to official figures of the HR engine?

Ha. That's got a respirator on it!

Thought I'd see what my new HR can do on high revs as that's where the extra HP is. I'm sure I was getting over 70mph in 2nd gear! What does the HR limit at in each gear? (7500rpm)

Thanks. Apart from reflectors in front bumper I don't think I will be doing much. Ive found where the HR comes into its own. Was wondering where the extra 40bhp was. But I found it after 5,500revs! Ha. From what I've heard is there much point doing any others mods with the HR engine breathing so well already?

Ah well spotted!

I see you have sessantas on your ZED - good choice I have to say I found those quite playful, in a good way

Seesantas?

Check out my HR bulge! Ha

Ah cool

Are the mods needed as much on the HR? It feels torquey through the whole rev range really. But a noticeable difference after 5k.

That is exactly it And if you have that after a couple of days then wait until you really get used to handling your zed....your first drift, will happen soon mate....wet ground Lol

 

I still have Scooby blow my face off raw power pleasure, courtesy of OH's car but the zed always gives me pure satisfaction. Wait until you're fully modded, the handling from the zed gives you miles more pleasure without the feeling of having to rag it all the time

 

Enjoy, my friend!

Only drove it a couple of days. And even going from an Impreza STI prodrive 350bhp, it feels amazing. The sound, the balance, the driving position, the way it loves to be revved. The looks the build quality. It's in a different league in every way. Don't get me wrong, the scooby would leave it for dead! That thing used to melt my face off. But it was so angry and need to be grabbed by the scruff of the neck. I guess the big difference is, I needed to be in the mood for the scooby. Whereas I could get in the zed any time and it will always put a smile in my face

Ah I'm always on my phone. I'll do it some time this weekend. I've just signed up to photo bucket.

Image button on the forum?

Got my new car yesterday and lots have asked me to post pics but it's giving me tiny allowances on what I can attach as a thumbnail. How do I post decent quality pics instead of teeny tiny low res ones?

You don't need extra horse power where you spend most of you time normal driving. You want it when you're planting your foot and letting it scream up to 7,500rpm! So I'm sure it will be worth it

Ye it does. When you read up on the money spent on the development of air flow on the HR (it has 2 air intakes for gods sake) it seems like Nissan know the best setup for that engine. Other than injectors, cams and even forced induction, I can't see and "minor mods being worth it. The HR I'm getting sound unbelievable as standard. And when I got it about 5k it was one of the nices engine notes if ever heard (and that coming from a boxer engined scooby owner!) so if I don't care to change the sound, and there's no real power increase, it seems a little pointless. I may just enjoy it standard. Throttle response it fantastic already too.
