Shrekster v Bobby about a year ago... First go for both I think...

I thought Martin had one too? Didnt realise your were another blessed one! I think you will find it may be putting out the same power as mine if not more!, but also it may give an explanation why yours is a tad louder than most Looking forward to your graph and the output numbers! Wonder if there is anyway that you can get the timings / settings / tunning info off it!! Martin did have one If you find a way feel free to grab the settings off me Bugger!!! That was sly!!! Nice undercover purchase!!! Anyone know if a Nissan CANBUS reader can get the info off it? ie would a dealer be able to hook it up and read it?

Is it a full face helmet Mark? No mate, open face

Ah got ya! What did you use to move the revs?

I think gary has a fault reader, Dealers may charge Yes it could be other faults Yes you can try the manual method to get the fault code up If you do find its the cats then you can get it reset, if there is still an issue then the light will come back! So buying a reader is probably a good idea.... Did you say you had taken your car to Gary BTW?

Isnt that what a rev limiter for? Also whats the point? Power drops off a bit before there I think!

Envy have some in stock, not sure about the size..

What did you end up paying for the A-arms mate and did you get taxed? Also did you get rear camber arms or just the bolts? Also, what suspension / size wheels you running Maz?

So is DMS in Erith and they are a trader on here!! And they have experience with the Zed! TGM have experience with a few Zeds now, but agree that DMS are probably closer to Maz Thought Mods were supposed to support traders on the forum that have paid their fees!!?!!

Short RAMs fit all, Long Rams dont fit UK cars unless you remove the 2nd window washed reservior!

PM Dan (dcash5) on here, think he has one!

The accepted mantra isnt really true after many discussions on these forums and guidance from those in the know! The ECU dosnt seem to dial out gains! It does not adapt to additional mods... It simply keeps working on its maps and has its limitations so if you add more air, the ECU may not be running the map to give it more fuel (the stock ECU runs a number of maps depending on temp, altitude etc), so the car may run lean and not get any gains! The ECU could simply tell the throttle body not to open as far cause there is too much air and still run the same amount of fuel... The car/engine has been "choked" to get it through certain environmental tests when it was designed so the ECU will always try and keep it in these limits.... knowing what has been choked and how to unlock them safely is where the tuners earn their crust! Unfortunalty as the cars are not that common in the UK a lot of tuners have never seen a zed and dont know that much about them, even those that have seen them / own them dont get alot of time on them as they have other cars to play with and ones that give easier gains... The tuners in the US and japan have managed decent gains but then some of their mods / chips dont work here due to different fuel, weather conditions etc... Performance modding a Zed isnt easy and deffo not cheap, but the smile you get on your face when you floor it or go through a tunnel (after lowering the window!!) makes it all worth it!

1st off, its not all about the BHP!! Also, throw out your goal to start with! And also decide what and where you want the power for... If its about wasting fuel and burning people off the lights then is there a point in spending 3 or 4k? If its about getting on the track, where do you want the power? Lots of time you wont be using all the power... It may be you want to be able to out brake or get it hugging the corners and delivering the power out of the turn... You can turn up to a track with 300bhp and a 200bhp car could whip your arse... 1 because its better set up, 2 its lighter and 3 cause the other driver is better than you! Anyway... Down to tuning... 1st you need to find a trusted dyno that gives a pretty true figure. Then get it dyno'd, you may find that you only have say 260bhp at the fly (it has been known!) and getting to a target of 300bhp may be impossible without spending loads of cash... It may be that your car needs a good service, plug change etc etc after its been dyno'd to see if there is a change there... Then its onto mods! Plenum Spacer 1st and maybe CAI (its been proven that the stock CAI esp on the 06 is one of the best CAI's for the car, but if your going down the tune route then the car may need more air so an after market one may be required) then onto the zorst, y-pipe and cats, exhaust manifolds etc etc... Its worth doing maps after the mods to see where there are increases and even decreases! Clutch, fly, pullies and final drive can also help to change the power delivery depending on where you want the power... Once you have done this little lot (you may have seen little gain from the mods, even decreases) its time to chip with a piggyback or to get a reflash to tie everything together, change the timings, AFR etc etc... Again a few options available and people have their opinions! The VQ isnt an easy engine to get lots out of easily but it can be done, there are ways of stroking, sleeving, changing cams, porting and polishing etc the list is pretty endless of you planning on gains in a N/A form... To be honest with the amount of time and effort that I and many owners have spent on trying to get gains and with the different options available that are not really documented and proven (ie someone that fits a 5zigen zorst and a typhoon, may get different results to a 5zigen zorst and a popcharger!) I would go FI with a supercharger from the start! Nice easy gains, not too much cash, cant really push the limits of the engine (400ish without engine builds / re-enforcement!), in FI terms is reasonably easy on the engine. This again is pretty much my opinion, and others out there on this and the other 350z forums have their opinions, so sit back, search, read do your research and then go for it! Just dont expect it to be easy! Anyway, if your in south wales, have a word with Ian on here... I think he recommends Ninja Tune factory for the tuning and modding work!!

Just detour a old peoples day out to the honda garage and the sales guys will think that there "boat has just come in"... they wont even notice the under 40's!

Was that written on an Iphone or a Blackberry Storm???!?! Good luck with the fitting and hope there isnt any other cracks

So does that civic on the forecourt look better with the whippy ariel thats now on it? I have a honda dealer down the road, if everyone wants to send me their ariels with a return stamped address envelope I will go down one night and switch them over (obviously this will be for the good of the prospective honda drivers as it will pick up radio 2,3,4 and classic FM much better!) If there all changed over then the honda dealers wont notice the difference! If its the odd one or 2 then they may get suspecious!! The above is to be taken as a joke....

Oops, my turn Mark, new glasses Lol..... I did notice you had just been spending money at the opticians!!!

P1167 Heated O2 Sensor 2

Unluuky mate If you took that to Nissan they would say new door skin!!(think my quote was for £1000!!) I think I ended up paying about £300 for mine to be filled and painted... was the same sort of damage to the door and the skirt but my door was a bit more dented! Would guess yours may be the same due to the blending that will need to be done with the blue..

Is it the guy in Hull? From the looks of the picture it may have been involved in a rear end accident.... If thats the case it may be more than just the box... Looks pretty bent... Still £180 and some welding it may be ok!

Another natural left footer and uphill gardener............ Sprinkles?.... FTMFL

Cheers mate. I have other shipping options so will get intouch, unless the guy I know over here can make one up as the box dimensions are all available!

There may be 3 of us!
