  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. think you're right Stew!
  4. good choice skipping the wing rest looks nice
  5. yes - its about the only thing that makes me wish I lived in the US .. along with the price of petrol
  6. but its listed as £863 for just the hardware on their site..
  7. 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)?
  8. of course UTEC is a better option - but also a lot dearer (and harder to tune)!
  9. 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...
  10. hmm not sure I could cope with more noise than my Nismo/kinetix combo!!
  11. 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)
  12. is that wing big enough?
  13. my Z over-reads by 2mph at that speed..
  14. My condolences to you and your family.
  15. at least you've got some decent roads up there within reach - not like us stuck in overcrowded south-east
  16. ah looks very smart
  17. Here's to you, Mr Robinson.. looks very smart
  18. no idea! but.. !
  19. Holy Thread Revival, Batman!
  20. this is a good time of year to be a buyer!
  21. sounds cool 24mpg from a 2 litre? sounds broken!
