Not have the desired effect in what sense? If you are not driving the current car to the max, then why have a remap in the first place? If you want to get quicker in the car, you are far better off doing driver training, it will make you much quicker than a bit of extra HP and a slug of torque. Saying that, the remap offers more than just more power/torque. It offers true WOT, and better pedal response. So yes, while the car may decide to "detune" itself a bit if you just bimble about in the short term, the potential is there and you will notice the difference, even when daily driving and on the track it will adapt by the time you warm the car up properly

You seem to have the same problem as me! Book it through Nissan.co.uk and they will sort it out quick smart! Also ask them about a GTR test drive I think the 370z is a bit of a grower compared to the 350z. You need to see it in real life for a decent amount of time to start to like the styling, pictures just dont do it justice. It really does start to make the 350z look a bit dated when you get up close to it properly and drive it, well especially the earlier 350z, I guess the 07+ its not so different and I wouldnt be able to justify jumping from a newer 350z to a 370z. It is through Nissan.co.uk I had a call from someone at Nissan UK saying that the dealer in Bath is the only one with a demo car & would phone me to arrange an appointement, that was 5 months ago Then about a month ago someone from Nissan UK phoned me to see how the test drive went. I told them I still had not been because the dealer couldn't be arsed to phone me & that I'd bought a porsche instead Doesnt sound good. I must have got lucky, they asked me what dealer I wanted it at and they would make sure a car was there, and phone me every week until I managed to get it. Only thing that let them down was the weather so it took ages to get a good day to do it. West Way Basingstoke on the other hand we crap! They didnt have the car the first time I went, and when I finally got out, it was on a pre-determined route, which did absolutely nothing to show off the car. I've been over to WLMG in Slough today, and I am one happy chappy

2BM method? How you gonna get two of me? I'm one of a kind, lol We're going to clone you

Just couldnt work out how Nissan is paying for his remap

2BM method?

Why are Nissan paying for your car to be remapped Do you mean the difference in cost from Abbey to Nissan means you can afford the remap? You do realise any warrenty on your engine will pretty much be null and void should anything go wrong with the engine and Nissan find out its remapped? Whether they can prove it was down to the map or not, you'd have a real fight on your hands to get warrenty work done Saying that, I would go to Abbey and have the remap and risk it

Yeah other memebers are fine if supervised

Well this is one of the things with being underwater, Red light cannot penetrate past 5 meters, if your beyond 5 meters at depth you just see gray or blue. no filter or white ballance can adjust that (that I know of) While I agree that red does dissapear at depth, you have to go significantly deeper than 5m to lose it completely. To keep it in photos you will need to use custom white balance and preferably a flash, but even a small one can do wonders at close range, but you dont have to have one. Its amazing what can be saved if you shoot RAW and do the white balance later, amazing results can be had.

Well it's my daily driver and see's a lot of traffic so on that basis I think I might stick to just a new clutch. Thanks for the advice I'd suggest you get out and try one first if you can. Plenty of members around can show you theirs I'm sure, dont write it off on my opinion. As stated above, you most likely need to replace the dual mass one anyway, so you wont save any dosh. Its personal preference

I think the problem with it not coming squint from a manufacturer rely on your car being straight too. Dont think its always possible, and easily sorted by a good garage if its a bit off. What I do find shocking are the ones out there that are miles off and always require correction, thats poor

I'd say make sure your stomach is empty

Sorry to see this mate, hope they reimburse you. Must be gutting Exactly why mine has stayed dirty for a couple of months. Yes a couple of months! At least when I get out this weekend and clean it, I can take the dirt off nice and gently and not do it any damage. I'd much rather have layers of dirt on there than take it to any kind of carwash and let someone else inflict swirls and scratches on it.

I know what you mean, does on the face of it seem stupid. However, the whole drive is 40GB (same as the GTR), but 30GB of it is for the OS and maps. Tis a bit of a token effort I agree, but I can kind of see why they have done it - cost of course! If you look at the cost of rugged traditional drives or solid state drives, it would cost a fortune to give us a decent amount of space. So as it is they go for the smallest and save a few quid - typical Nissan I'm just happy to finally see an OEM satnav from Nissan with full postcodes!

I read somewhere that this has already been mentioned by Nissan and Infiniti. Infiniti will have it first up in their coupe and then the Zed will get it as a mid cycle refresh. Should release a few more horses, but not that many apparently. Think they said something about 2012 for the Infiniti and a year after that the Zed. I'll see what I can find

Merged your post in here Alex, we have those pics already, but not the PH link

Yes but if they caught a plain one on camera speeding, it would be pretty easy to prove it wasnt me, that was the point. I'm not going to change my wheels, remove the stickers, interior retrimming, black badges, Recaros and cleared out fog which all could be seen from a pic just to go out speeding I didnt mean so modded as is sooooo (modded lots), I meant in the way it was modded (ie bright wheels etc).

Good to see someone else finds this too. I have heard it in the States that it happens on the 370z too. When we had a RR day at Surrey RR, I think they did the pulls in 3rd gear for some and the numbers didnt seem right, but they assured the members that wasnt causing it. When I had mine on a DD dyno at Eurospec, my car made spot on numbers for what I was expecting with a plenum spacer, came out at 240WHP with nice flat torque curve, so stock I guess it would have been 10 or so HP down - if mods claimed HP are to be beleived Thats surprising, i and many others find SRR to be about the most consistent and genuine RR, IE they don't tailor results to keep owners happy, i know of at least four other car clubs that only use them, plus a couple of well respected mappers. As Mark said, its down to knowing the car. Now we know you need to do a fair few pulls at WOT (5-6) before doing a final pull, we can let any dyno technician know that and they know for in future. When we were at SRR last time, I think most cars only got 3 or maybe 4 pulls. Intersting to see it can cause different results though Not at all saying SRR were at fault btw, they did everything right on the day, just shows you need more pulls.

That sounds like it will be mental loud in real life!

Just wait til Dave sees this

Dont think it looks any different really. I am off to WLMG in Slough tomorrow where they have a roadster which should hopefully have connect premium so I'll get some pics then - just hope it has it, will be sods law its a non nav car There is a YouTube vid of the differences in the US model if you search for it. Only thing that I think is different is they get XM stuff (weather and traffic) which we dont and we get Michillen POIs and other traffic feed.

A competant garage or exhaust place will be able to fix it. Just requires the hangers to be adjusted, but they need to be good at it. Bit of a mallet or bit of heat should make it sit in place right.
