  1. Mapping or tuning doesn't necessarily mean extra strain on the engine, in most cases actually makes for a more smoother, efficient package once "tuned" or "remapped" properly. thats good to hear .tbh if i get choices i would rather have bottom end and mid range power over top end as I think the 350 is fast enough as is .would also like the rev range altered as far as poss too as I'm used to to high compression revvy engines
  2. cheers rich .defo getting it done for £399 . just need to see if any Yorkshire based companies can do it at a similar price .might get the milltek swapped first and make sure it does have decats before mapping to get better results ..Do you think its worth it on an engine with 129000 or should I get a lower milage transplant first ? dont wana be straining an old motor
  3. could someone please tell me what this uprev is ? iv just seen a 03 plate advertised nearly same year as mine with uprev remap but i thought the uprev was just HR engines . so is it poss to have my DE engine mapped to rev another 1000 like the newer model . sorry for questions I'm new here
  4. welcome I'm new here too. just bought a silver 04 350gt my self ...best car iv ever driven tbh

    im kinda drawn to the veilside v3 & volex style spoiler tbh .dnt have a clue where to find them tho and wanting one preferably in the same colour as my zed if I can find a used one for sale
  9. Its just hot viscosity, at working temps a w40 oil will remain slightly thicker/more viscus that a w30 oil, therefore will have slightly more resistance to shear and will be slightly better at providing a slightly higher oil pressure, so better for a worn engine. I will add that its only a slight difference, but it helps on a high mileage engine, Nissan and most other manufactures recommend a 5 or 10W30 oil mainly for fuel economy (less oil drag), and the engines are designed around metals that will allow running thinner oils. Oh! and the first figure IE 5 or 10 is the cold viscosity, and can be pretty much ignored in our climate. great i always wanted to know what the numbers related to tbh . cheers iv got a lot better understanding what to go for now
  10. okay im confused now lol ..whats the difference between 10/40 & 5/30 .
  11. Thanks for the headsup Tricky
  12. thank you for the advice and yea i did a search but with my zed been quite high milage i just wondered if a certain type might be more beneficial. also i agree with you that oil is the life blood so i too don't mind getting the best to prolong the engine life and minimise wear if possible . cheers pal
  13. i have a 04 with 129000 miles and looking for suggestions on which oil would be best for a motor with this mileage . also would you guys recommend using an engine flush or just do a simple oil change .tia
  14. yes i believe my system is already decatted .love the tone from the milltek but i just wish it was a bit more prominent
  15. tbh im quite new to the 350 so not sure what to get .just wanting something a lot louder but not raspy .something that amplifies the v6 . doesnt have to be single exit either tbf
  16. thanks for your reply and very pleased about the exhaust .such a beautiful sounding car been muffled by my milltek system .
  17. i am thinking of getting a .. single mass clutch conversion single exit exhaust and short ram induction kit for the 350 so my question is ... would the single mass clutch conversation give better performance? would the single exit exhaust give a deeper / louder note or restricted performance. and would the short ram induction give better throttle responce ? i know it would increase heat soak but hoping this would be out weighed by better pick up . any advice appreciated

    yea im not keen on the carbon wing types either ..i dont mind high ones but they have to be a proper spoiler to look right .had a wing alot of years back on a Peugeot coupe and I got alot of negative comments so put me right off them

    cheers ill take a look at your recommendations guys
  21. The 350 i have just bought has the little lip type spoiler and im thinking of getting something a little more showoffy. what factory fitting types are available and do they all attach through same fittings as the thin lip type spoiler i have now or would it be a case of drilling?
  22. thanks for welcomes guys loving it here already .just reading about de vs hr engines ..take it iv got the de with mine been a 04plate ..plus its got the pita dip stick
  23. I have just bought mo,s 350 with 19" white alloys. Is there a product that can remove black staining thats alloy safe ? tryed the stuff from Halfords but it only removes light brake dust . had white alloys before and remember them been a pita to keep clean but these marks seem bedded in well. any advice appreciate guys
  24. absolutely loving the v6 engine guys . thought my beams was a nice engine but these are a complete diffent class ..so much power and effortless with it ..nice to be able to speak to girlfriend without shouting over a revvy 4 cylinder .
  25. hi yes iv just spoke to mo ..my stupid mistake didnt realise you had to depress clutch to disengaged immobiliser ...what a plonka i am lol
