But of course! Deciding we want to get back into scuba diving (distinct lack of hills around here for MTB) on hols, means I've just been robbed off a good bit of money - regs service (£80), new Suunto D4i computer (old one was going to cost £80 for a battery change!), 2 new LED Lenser dive torches (old ones were dead), dive watch for Amanda - oops

Bit more and you can have a real one!

I'm of the same opinion, although I think the rears do need something. I'm tempted by some 20mm at the rear and leaving the front alone on mine. Personally 20mm is too much on the front for me and any less and you need to swap the lug/bolts over for new longer ones.

I hate you as much as I hate AK now Very nice sir - but I dont get the stem - "Hope Thomson X4 70mm black (black risers)". I'm assuming its a Thomson 4x? Very nice they are too.

Definately the way to go

Great news Nic. Bring on the 370z

Wow bet that was quite a build. We do like pics around here, so if you have any of the actual build when it was in progress, its like car porn to us

Do it

I beleive from what I read that the propedal on those are meant to be so good you dont need lock out. Now obviously you wont be able to stand up and stomp the pedals like a hard tail, but I understand it is very good for climbing in the saddle and a bit of standing up

But of course http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=41164

New one to the site too

A requirement for precision handling even on a space saver But of course, we expect nothing less

Why wait. just do it:) Because I've just paid for a wedding (quite literally) and I need to pay the car off. Then I can play with it some more

Fair do's - so its not the dyno then, but whats to say Dan just did a better job of the map? Still interested to know if Haltech allows any controls that UpRev doesnt that gives extra gains. I've heard that when you push the limits, stand alone systems allow you to push further than Nissan essentially limit you to with UpRev, but in pretty stock form UpRev should allow all the adjustment required to get as good a tune as you could with any other EMS. Wonder if Dan is just better working with Haltech than whoever did you UpRev is with UpRev

To quote Waynes World - schwwwwwwing

I'd be interested to know what exactly the Haltech can do over UpRev that got you the 20HP. I'm gussing rather than Haltech vs UpRev, it was just a better tune you got and a different dyno. Dyno's can easily read +/-10HP for no good reason on different days, so could be just a better tune and different dyno coming into effect. From what I've heard on the interweb, UpRev is good, but has its limits. I have read that once you get into proper FI and NA builds it can be more performant to use a stand alone unit but these have their problems too, so its mostly down to the tuner. UpRev is the best for the window it operates in, but I get the feeling you can only push its parameters so far past the stock ones before it wont give any more, whereas stand alone will just let you keep cranking away.

Upload them to photobucket or flickr and post them up that way. The forum only allows 1024x1024 images max to save our bandwidth.

Check out Adam@Z1's blog. It has a lot of detailed info on what is required to get a good NA car. Exhaust, intakes, plenum and remap are just scaping the surface. To get a good NA can you need to completely rebuild the engine with stronger parts that are blueprinted so the engine can run as close to the theoretical max as possible without shaking itself apart. RJN will also be able to point you in the right direction too I think. I agree with Ricey, if you were seriously looking to do this and have no real dedication to a Zed, just go buy a faster car. Its what I did with my 350z, just got a faster version. Would have cost me thousands to get it to the 310+WHP that my 370z is at (thats a good 70HP over my 350z). Added benefit are also nicer place to be (cockpit), and better handling.

Unless you decide to go through a ford, I'm sure you'll be find daily driving. Afterall if you do come across a big puddle, just tell the satnav to get you around it Look forward to some vids Kev, might do this to mine once its paid for (some time next year)

Cant imagine that would be much good as a daily driver

For bog-standard diesel things that a Superchip can change that quoted price is fine, but for the Zed you need different software who have no competition which is why the cost is higher. Fixed There are alternatives but they cost even more

SORN it Dave, then the sun will come out and the rest of us can enjoy it

Just do it in groups and the first ones down take some pics. Then the other group goes first. Works for me and AK as he belts off down the hill, stops and takes some pics when I catch up

Do please keep up, they are actually a 40th Edition, and Quartz is the official 40th Edition colour. Nowhere on the car does it say Black Edition Looking good Sparky, you'll need a name change soon then
