Chris`I

Looks like fun How were your tyres afterwards?

No, inside the plenum, where the air flows. There are different schools of thought that a smooth air flow or distrubted airflow are better. I have no idea, I dont know about fluid/aero dynamics so dont know which is better. The only evidence I have seen is that the Leon lads used to smooth their airboxes of the platic veins that they had and it gave better flow. I would just stick with smooth for now as it would mimic OEM? Why would more air mean less fuel? Surely more air would mean more fuel to keep the AFR the same? Surely the problem you get is that the parameters only allow so much fuel to be delivered (as stock only flows so much air and we are going past that with a bigger plenum), so a remap would force it to deliver more fuel and hence more power. The stock setup will only lean out so far and then wont use the extra air that can be taken from a freer flowing intake. By remapping it, you can use more of the air combined with more fuel to give more power. I'm still not convinced that a much bigger plenum will give any gains anyway, there will be a limit where it makes no difference or will be detrimental. Sticking to a design that is like OEM + spacer will give best guarenteed results for the outlay as its a proven combo

Where lol..........? Its like a magic eye, just keep starring at it Link fixed

Heres the thread - never did try it though! Blast from the past - 2003 thread! http://my350z.com/forum/audio-and-video ... e-fix.html

That would make more sense and would explain why I’m still getting irregular levels of volume with an aftermarket HU, I’ll have a search cheers If you get it to work, let me know, I think mine does it now and again! Never did get around to doing it

Hmm, not sure I'd agree with that. My Falkens say 50PSI max, and when I was at an airfield day, I ran them at 45PSI. These felt far too over inflated and reduced grip massively - which was the intention of doing it on the day so you lose grip earlier and slides are more predictable. I would start at 35PSI and work a bit higher and lower. When you track your bike, I assume you take warm pressure readings too? In which case they are close to the OEM 36/34PSI due to the heat?

Ouch! At least you get rid of the stone chips though! WRT to aftermarket bumpers, if you use your own bodyshop there is more than enough chance you can get something like a Shine bumper as they are cheaper than stock! If you used approved bodyshops though, its unlikely as they just order the OEM parts base off your VIN number. Oh and make sure you get a reasonable hire car, tell them you want an equivelant car, so £30k 3litre+ sports car, as the other side pay for it

From what I've read before, the feature is acutally in the amp. There is a mic to the left of the steeringwheel next to the centre console. I saw on my350z.com that someone put a resistor in its place to fool the amp that the same background sound all the time and then set your HU from there. Try a search on my350z.com, its a pretty old thread.

Very nice mate

Dunno about the mr mac version -- but i have Mmm pink, suits you sir

No idea, but Tesco in Slough had it this lunch time

They are as standard Even if most were apparantly more powerful than 280 from the factory Doesnt take a lot to send the power skyward either.

Did I read that right, about £250 for a full carbon plenum with a spacer built in? That sounds like a f'in bargin compared to just a spacer which is knocking on 200 quid! Look forward to seeing your results matey, you could have a very good business there. WRT the need for ECU work, if you keep it the same volume as stock plus a spacer you wont need any ECU work. I'm not convinced if you make it more it will need ECU work, I can just see you getting to a point where the extra volume has a negative impact regardless of remapping the ECU. What you want is nice even airflow to all cylinders which a stock plenum + spacer gives (albeit the slightly larger spacers do it better but need a different strut). I think you'd need to supply the new CF plenum with longer bolts and spacers same as the Motordyne spacer comes with.

Bet Martins posted from his phone while in the loo before!

Thats really good - Im impressed with that. Ive just seen this of a mate in the states new setup ............. How does he clean/wash under his wheel arch? Jack the car up?

Good man Chris, it`ll be good fun for an hour or 2!! Jerry Never is an hour to 2 though is it, its normally like 4-5hrs I think Amanda will end up smashing my laptop up if it does work

Used to play, but only have laptops now. Not sure if my lappy GFX card will handle it. Used to play it load back in uni, drunken knife fights were awesome! Will see if I can find my old Stream ID and get it installed and see if it works

I beleive all that happens to it over time is the octane rating drops. You might get away using it in lawnmowers etc as the others have suggested. Also try the local firebrigade, they might have a use for it in training!

Dont think you could run quick enough! Better off with a flaming arrow from a distance or leave a trail of petrol as a fuse More then happy for you to show me how its done chris, your only down the road! No thanks mate

You need some new mates! What a nonse!

^^^ what he said. Also wait for Alex to post up. I'm sure he said that tappet adjustment was quite a big job (he mentioned it being easier with the engine out ), but an inderpendant will be way less than Nissan if thats the case. Bit of a shady area WRT to warrantee as it will be a wear and tear item, but if it was sold in good faith that nothing was wrong, they couldnt have worn in a few thousand miles. Mine has done 72k now and never had them adjusted and runs just fine.

Should be able to make it
