B3n5253 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi everyone. Is there a way to tell if your car has been upreve'd allready? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 If you can achieve over 155mph then it's been uprev'd There's no other way of telling AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Contact RS, Abbey and Horsham and give them your number plate they might have a record of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha@lazytrips Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I am now strongly suspecting that mine was uprevved by the previous owner as I hit 156mph on the autobahn while still accelerating fairly quickly before I had to slow down for traffic. Speedo was showing 170-175. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC350Z Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 someone correct me if im wrong but if uprev`d it will not be restricted in first and second and if not you can tell in mine its holding back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasha@lazytrips Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 someone correct me if im wrong but if uprev`d it will not be restricted in first and second and if not you can tell in mine its holding back I guess this is easy to tell if you have the option to drive two zeds - one with and one without the restriction. When you don't know any better, it's hard to judge although I couldn't ask for more response in the first two gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 what model 350Z do you have? maybe it has multi maps? easy to tell if it has been Uprev'ed then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBoy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I am now strongly suspecting that mine was uprevved by the previous owner as I hit 156mph on the autobahn while still accelerating fairly quickly before I had to slow down for traffic. Speedo was showing 170-175. Bear in mind that speedos get pretty inaccurate at those speeds, and I'd be surprised if a Zed could get to 175 anyway. Try it with a GPS and see what happens. Also as already said; pay attention to the throttle response in 1st and 2nd, does it feel spongy or elastic? if yes then you're probably not upreved.

wackosr Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Que daft question! When they perform an Uprev, do they just configure the existing ECU or is a piggy back unit required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBoy Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Que daft question! When they perform an Uprev, do they just configure the existing ECU or is a piggy back unit required? UpRev is a true re-map rather than a 'chip' tune. Basically it re-writes the base map that the stock ECU has rather than buggering about with the input/output signals like most piggybacks do, so there is no visual evidence of an UpRev remap.

DB Hence why I said I hit 156mph and was still gaining. The 156 was gps-based. what model 350Z do you have? maybe it has multi maps? easy to tell if it has been Uprev'ed then I've got a UK 2004 DE. That of any help? (+ You've driven mine to/from Heathrow a year ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3n5253 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 It's a HR 313 - 08 plate. My cruse control still works as normal so I don't think it has multi maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I think Abbey managed to utilise the Cruise Control buttons to control the multi maps without losing the ability for cruise control. Best wait for Marks response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 313 car can have mult-imaps and the cruise control will work like normal; Hold down the toggle switch ( accelerate/slow switch) right hand of steering wheel , while holding this down press the cancel switch say 3 times , if the car has been Uprev'ed the SET light the cruise will flash 3 times, When you Uprev a late car you can have 5 different maps.

B3n5253 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks for the reply mark. I'll give it a try. If it hasn't been done I'm very interested in having it upreve'd. I like the sound of having 5 different maps and keeping the cruse control! What do the different maps consist off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 we use the multi map function to give you 5 different throttle response maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3n5253 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Does it cost anymore to have the Multi maps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 throttle maps or valet maps no, any maps the require tuning i.e 95 octane maps yes we charge extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3n5253 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 That sounds great. What would be the price for a Multi map for a HR model. No 95 octaine or anything just throttle and valet maps? Thanx :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 £402-00 inc vat. Before and after dyno plots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3n5253 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Thanks for all the information mark. I will definitely be having an uprev with you. Just have a couple of other things to do and then will be in contact to book in :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
