Main thing is to run on the fuel you will normally use. As the map is fairly specific to your fuel, you need to run it as normal. Dont put super in if you dont normally use it and dont put 95RON in if you normally use super as it will make less power. Also make sure any mods are fitted - but it looks like you have that covered. Thats about it, Mark will check everything else before dynoing it, so the rest is covered.

+1 Well the forums what you make it so get posting and make it better Always dies down after the summer, theres less meets and people dont get out as much. We see people quite clearly get cabin fever over the winter and it does tend to get quite bad sometimes. Always better when May comes around and its time to get the cars out and go for a blast around Wales According to Google Analytics the forums been getting busier month on month, every month for the past few years. We have a few aparent step changed (upwards) and apart from May in the run up to Wales when there is a very aparent spike in visitors, it stays pretty consistent on this trend.

OK I'll take it. Need it for garage security duties and can also double up as some extra security for when we are away. No worries on it damaging the frames as I would only use it when stationary, the Thule rack we have does lock but its a bit erm basic, so would be good to have as extra piece of mind when away from home. Sent you a PM for the arrangements

ESP which helps control a slide and point you forwards again is controlled by a linked system to the TCS, however you can turn TCS off and not ESP (unless you know the right fuse to disable both of them and the ABS). ESP will allow the car a certain amount of sideways movement before it kicks in. I beleive the ESP uses TCS to tell if the wheels are spinning and a yaw sensor and steering angle sensor to tell if you are sideways. So this will likely have been active, you just might not have known about it. I cant remember but I think ESP and TCS have different lights on the dash - albeit I think they are located together.

Yes I had the same thing asking about the 40th Edition and my dealer was very annoyed with them as they wouldnt answer the question. It was only when we made contact with some of the chaps in marketing at NMGB that we got some answers. The problem asking them about SatNav is its very complicated compared to what they normally have to deal with so they dont have a clue

That sounds exactly like whats wrong, i had new rears fitted a few weeks back and the fronts have about 3mm left. Also the cars been lowered, not sure if that would have an effect? Cant see why it would though.. To the guy who asked they are the normal road f1's. Looks like new front tires then, thanks This is most likely the cause. I think the TCS is designed to take into account some degree of tyre wear but obviously it will expect tyres to wear at a fairly even rate. With relatively smaller tyres on the front and larger on the rear to what the TCS expects, it will take a little longer for it to think the rears are spinning faster than the front (ie slipping) and kick in. Personally, I'd prefer it like that as the 350z TCS is quite violent when it kicks in and can unsettle the car more so just go with it. If when you get new fronts and all the tyres are bedded in it still does the same then we can look at other causes

Have you had the tyres changed recently and/or are the fronts on the way out with the rears having more tread? Both can cause the TCS to think the rears are spinning slower than the fronts relatively which means the rears in real terms have to be spinning more before TCS will kick in.
