CarlW Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 It's taken me a week but I've finally realised the, what I thought was, standard 350Z I picked up last weekend has a few extras: Pop Charger Kinetix Plenum HFCs & Aftermarket Exhaust (no idea what make as I can't see any markings) Can anyone recommend any tuners in the South West (I'm in Exeter, Devon) so that I can make the most of what the last owner fitted or do people recommend a trip across country to get an UpRev? Thanks Carl Quote
Irn Bru Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 If the previous owner went to the expense of fitting a Kinetix plenum he may well have had it uprev'd. where was the Z purchased from ? 2 Quote
coldel Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Chuck it on a dyno and see what it gets, a quick RR session should be about £40 and always good to get a read when new to ownership of any performance car I think. In terms of closest, Horsham Developments should be no more than two hours up the A303 from you who are vastly experienced in dealing with Zeds. They could take a look at it and give you a view on what you have on your hands. As Bri said, where did you buy it? Can only imagine it was some dealer as they might have not realised it has an expensive aftermarket plenum on it and not mentioned it. 1 Quote
CarlW Posted October 29, 2016 Author Posted October 29, 2016 I bought it from a second hand car dealer in Plymouth, it was part ex'd with a local Nissan dealer and he got it from them. I've got the service history and receipts for new timing chains in July but he didn't have much knowledge about the extras that were fitted to the car. As you say though Horsham Developments isn't exactly a long drive away sp maybe I'll give them a ring. I don't think it's been uprev tuned as the HFCs are causing the CEL to come on and I think that would most likely have been turned off if when uprev'd? If I book it in with them they can take a look and if it needs tuning to get the best out of it they have everything there to do it. Quote

coldel Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Note only a few tuners in the UK have the official uprev licensed software designated to the 350z - some tuners will have generic maps which can be flashed, but you really need custom maps to make the most of something like a kinetix plenum. 2 Quote
taybo Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Horsham for an Uprev or there is Top Gear in Bridport (up the A35 via Honiton). Not used Top Gear for tuning myself but they do have a dyno. 1 Quote
Mr&mrsgreen Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 top gear are meant to be quite good... make sure you go to topgear Hq Quote
CarlW Posted November 16, 2016 Author Posted November 16, 2016 Took me a while but I finally made a decision, going to go for the tried and tested rout so the car is booked in to Hrosham Development for Tuesday! Nice drive up and, hopefully, even nicer drive back:-) Quote
