  1. yeah i was too lazy back then to find my original post! and im too lazy now too
  2. very impressive - good videos too 0-100 in 8.5 when its so cold..
  3. good choice skipping the wing rest looks nice
  4. yes - its about the only thing that makes me wish I lived in the US .. along with the price of petrol
  5. but its listed as £863 for just the hardware on their site..
  6. is that what Thor have quoted? pretty decent I guess then - uprev is $700 (384 quid atm). edit: looking on thor website the 350z UTEC is £735.00+VAT (£863.63 incl) .. and then the fitting/mapping cost (which must surely be a few hundred)?
  7. of course UTEC is a better option - but also a lot dearer (and harder to tune)!
  8. this is all true ^^ uprev IS quite a cheap option and you can reflash as many times as you like once you have bought it - you just need a different map file. you can also put their software into recording mode and do a run from 0-80mph or whatever, then send the recorded data to them and they will send back a map.. I have no idea if this is a good idea! and finally - they will soon be releasing a "live-tune" upgrade to their software (free for users) which will enable anyone with a dyno to optimise the map and then flash it. (oh they can also load 3 different maps into the ECU which you can toggle between using cruise control buttons).. BUT ... they haven't got a default map for UK spec ECU or any experience with it .. and I don't want to run the risk of it really...
  9. hmm not sure I could cope with more noise than my Nismo/kinetix combo!!
  10. are you familiar with the Osiris UpRev? http://www.uprev.com/ they are able to flash the ECU via the OBD-II port using a cipher cable (which is what nissan use for their diagnostics) and their own software. they will soon be releasing a "tuner" version which can do realtime mapping. it's an interesting piece of kit - but they don't have any maps for UK cars or experience with the UK ECU.. (I asked em by email the other day)
  11. my Z over-reads by 2mph at that speed..
  12. My condolences to you and your family.
  13. at least you've got some decent roads up there within reach - not like us stuck in overcrowded south-east
  14. Here's to you, Mr Robinson.. looks very smart
  15. Holy Thread Revival, Batman!
  16. this is a good time of year to be a buyer!
  17. sounds cool 24mpg from a 2 litre? sounds broken!
