My car came from Japan with only one key, so the importer agreed to provide a spare key. This involved sourcing a blank from Nissan, which was cut to fit the locks, then it had to be programmed at a Nissan dealer to match the immobiliser in the car. It must have cost around £200 in all, which I was delighted not to have to pay myself. So it can be done, but...... this key does not operate the doors remotely - it only opens the doors by turning the key in the driver's door lock, and it does start the car.

1. Stew - DC SportsTD exhaust, Injen CAI, Kinetix V+..... probably have a flutter on a few more mods if I'm doing an UpRev 2. Kenny (tt350z) - Power Enterprise TT running Haltech Platinum 3. Dblock - Japspeed k2, Japspeed Y pipe, (hopefully) Dc Exhaust manifold, K&N Typhoon, (hopefully) Plenum spacer (02 JDM auto) 4. srobrien - 2005 UK GT, Pipercross Induction, Pure 5/8" Plenum spacer, K1, (maybe japspeed y-pipe) TOTALLY UP FOR THIS. 5. JT1703 ( John ) - '05 GT , Powerflow Custom Dual Exhaust ( Cats back ) , JWT Popcharger. Would definitely get Plenum Spacer etc etc as recommended by Abbey as well. 6. Jason - Japspeed k2, Japspeed y pipe, AEM CAI Or pop charge depending on readings. Will purchase a plenum spacer soon. 7. Chadwick - k1 exhaust, plenum spacer pipercross induction 8. maz - pop charger / exhaust 9. Jim - JWT popcharger (JDM tiptronic - do you need the ECU number?)

I'm sorry, Stew, but I've been searching for a while now and found lots of interesting information, but not the answers to the questions I posted. It is not clear in all the threads I looked at whether or not there would be any gains by re-mapping a standard engine with no significant mods (except the popcharger). All of the threads seemed to concern people who had a lot of mods on their cars first. Also, though I seem to remember a thread which suggested something about the re-map removing the JDM limiter, I can't find it at all now. Here you go Jim: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=27916 this was simply in the Abbey motorsport section. Theres also a thread called uprev for dummies where a forum member has had his done recently along with all the questions you asked, answered. But yes you will feel a difference as it opens throttle 100% and also smooths out the torque curve. You wont get much in terms of numbers but the overall driveability will be MUCH better. Your JDM limiter can be removed also. For someone who asked about the EPR Throttle controller, this does not give you 100% throttle, it merely sends a signal to the ECU to tell it that the throttle is further down than it actually is thus making it feel more responsive. Hope this helps guys, im not an expert but have read enough on here to know that the Uprev is a great modification to purchase, from everyones reviews its a no brainer if you have the cash ready. Thanks a lot - I don't know how I missed that thread.

Was it a convertible? I've seen one around here a few times.

Some questions just out of general interest on this one. 1. Can anybody explain just what exactly Abbey will be doing to your cars? And what benefits will you see? 2. The only modification I have on my car is the JWT Popcharger, so would there be any point in having it re-mapped? 3. Does this process also include the removal of the JDM speed limiter?

These were not the standard JDM wheels either - they are seven spoke alloys - see my signature photo.

There's a whole thread on exactly that question. viewtopic.php?f=10&t=32987&p=506406&hilit=odb+code+reader#p506406 So far, no one has been able to suggest an affordable reader that most of us are looking for. There is an expensive product (Innovate LM2) that needs an O2 sensor welded into the exhaust downpipe to give it full functionality, but nothing that you can just plug into the car and read easily.

What would be a reasonable offer? £400

I would have taken the UK clocks, but I'm a bit strapped for cash just now (just paid for summer holiday! ). If it hasn't gone by next month, though .....

Have a search - I Think there's somebody on here selling a spoiler all ready to go in Blade Silver. Edit - here you go -- viewtopic.php?f=32&t=34108&hilit=spoiler

+1 I think that looks really good. Oh, and ........

There's another advert in the same section from a different supplier that makes no mention of the import fitting. I've never heard anybody suggest that they are different, but maybe someone who has fitted one to a JDM can confirm. If in doubt, why not buy from one of the traders on this forum? They know what they are talking about.

done Thanks Mike.

+1 That's where I have mine. Gets pretty good reception there too. +1 Me too - works fine there.

OK Sarnie .... I've waited long enough ........ please put the apostrophe in we're in your signature Grammar control officer! Thank goodness I'm not the only one who gets upset about apostrophes.

Thanks very much for this information - it's potentially very helpful for many of us. Mods - can this be put up as a sticky?

I hope your better half is not able to see this forum!

I think he must have robbed a bank when he was in Oz!

Can you share the name of the company with us? It would be really useful for future reference for all JDM owners.

Can you not remove the tail pipes from the OEM and fit them on to the Scorpion?

I think it could also be related to the fact that this forum is becoming larger every day, so it offers an increasingly lucrative market place for these chancers.

Well done, mods.

+1 I don't remember there being so many issues on the "For sale" thread at any time in the past four years. The mods have only had to remind sellers of the eminently sensible rules on a few odd occasions. Then, suddenly, we get a rash of chancers having a whole bunch of items for sale almost immediately after joining the forum! No wonder members are suspicious.

This has been asked many times before. I think the best answer is to change the terminals and install the biggest battery you can fit in the space. Seems to have worked for lots of JDM owners out there.
