Took the car to Horsham for a remap today.

 

Very pleased with the result, my bum dyno says the car feels sharper and more on it, and the torque I felt it had lost from fitting the HFCs is back.

 

Obviously the max hp figures are a bit meaningless, but have included below anyway.

 

I am led to understand a stock 370z on a dyno dynamics is around 240 whp give or take; so the HFCs, Invidia and MegaFlow panel filters plus the tune have added about +40 hp over standard which would put it somewhere around 370-380 hp.  Seems about right.

 

 

What on earth is going on between 5500 and 6000rpm?

Horsham put it down to a glitch with the dyno, but it could also have been the wheels climbing the roller and jumping

Air ride looks cool but not sure how it rides. Adjustable coilovers?

TBH I've never fitted air ride, I've always gone with coil overs on previous toys and either had the cars lowered and mostly ended up bashing the heck out the front, or had them higher that I might as well have stuck with stock.  Airlift isn't cheap either so if I end up making the wrong choice it's the thick end of £5,000.  A set of Tein Flex Zs are >£1000.

Certainly a bit odd. Does the same thing on both runs by the look of it. I wonder if it’s transmission related. The AFR doesn’t do anything wonky. I wouldn’t have thought the car was climbing the rollers, it’s not like it’s big power turbo car that suddenly comes on power.
