Will370z Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) Right Will One thing I find annoying about the 370 is that when you pull away in 1st it's as if the power dips just for a millisecond, I think yours is auto so you may not know what I mean, just wondering if the map smooths that out ? Never seen those sort of figures on mine Yup I know exactly what you mean and it definitely helps with that. It was always something I was conscious of. Yup Andy that was an average given limited traffic Edited March 22, 2014 by Will370z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 It smoothed it out on the 350 mate so sure it will on the 70! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyheinz Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Sounds like you're enjoying it mate. Just wondering, do you loose the cruise control function given the button/switch is now used for switching between maps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nissanman312 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 This sounds like a no brainer Dose mapping hurt the car in anyway ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 This sounds like a no brainer Dose mapping hurt the car in anyway ? I am yet to read anything that suggests that, iirc the car runs very rich from the factory so the corrcet fuelling can only help imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Dose mapping hurt the car in anyway ? In a sensible word - no. Standard car maps are created so that they met certain efficiency ratings and EU regulations regards fuel and emissions, sometimes at the detriment of power and delivery. They also make the car easier to sit at national set speed limits, such as 30, 50 & 70. When the car is sitting at 30 it will have a smoother, less aggressive fuelling ratio, so it's more comfortable and can maintain the accurate speed better, less edgy and gear to set off if you like. By adjusting the fuelling for consistent power delivery and smooth out the 'flat spots' in the rev range you will achieve a much smother, progressive, steady power curve up the rev range. As long as the fuelling is adjusted to the capabilities of the engine, it'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suits Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I NEED an UpRev on the 70 but need to think of a valid excuse to spend £400 mid house purchase And an exhaust purchase I know this will sound like a broken record but you really do need an exhaust on that VQ of yours first IMO. The benefits that brings you'll appreciate more than the up-rev. I bought a ARK GRiP system for mine a few months back and I didn't realise how much I'd love it so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like a forum to spend your money! Exhaust from CS should be here with me Tuesday and on in time for Japfest.

Steel Lynx Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 id be interested to know what an uprevved 370z makes! been kinda considering if/when I could upgrade to a 370z but have to drive one first to see if an extra 60hp is worth the extra outlay. http://www.350z-uk.com/gallery/image/979-uprev1/ http://www.350z-uk.com/gallery/image/980-uprev2/ Mine turned out quite well. That's at the rear wheels. Not sure what that equates to at the engine, maybe 370ish? Be quite nice to have bang on 370bhp in a 370Z, but it's more likely around 367bhp. Still, it only counts at the rear wheels 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suits Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Do you have any drone from it Dose it scrape it looks low Looks nice tho mate Got cha, cheers . No drone but then again I've only really ever had quality exhaust systems, so I don't really know what you'd class as drone ?? Also worth adding that the sound changes as the system cokes up, the sound it has now is a lot different to how it was when it was first installed, the same sort of sound, just more pronounced and has a wider range - better really, lol. Cold start up its deep and loud but then by the time it reaches temp it settles into a deep, burble. The system is true duel system, so you can hear the separate cylinders blatantly, which is great, as come on, the engine in this car is a good one. At motorway speeds it's noticeable but no way intrusive at all so long distances are no issue at all. The syncro-rev gear box on the 370Z is bliss with this and you'll purposely be going into roundabouts hot just to hear it bark and spit on the run down. When it's hot, it snarls and barks, on track it got real hot and I was approached a few times by other drivers after a session to say how good it sounds. You will also have your window wound down all the time juts to hear it. Clearance is no problem at all, I'm running OEM chassis and wheels and to get into my car park at home I have to go over two large speed bumps and never once, have I ever heard any sort of clipping or scraping. I procrastinated a long time about my system and used the criteria of sound-looks-performance as measuring sticks to what I wanted. The ARK came out top for me on sound and looks, so I went for it. The time and thought that went into it was really worth it. Hope this helps a bit, I may have written something else about it in my thread that I've not put in here, so if you want more have a look here.... http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/71638-suits-le-mans-blue-370z-small-ark-grip-video-150214/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Cheers that's helpfull by drone I mean when your cruising and you feel like your head is buzzing lol Although I've just been reading a thread all about the cluch and gearbox fallers so wonder weather to keep the car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Although I've just been reading a thread all about the cluch and gearbox fallers so wonder weather to keep the car lol Do you mean the agricultrual feel of the clutch and gearbox on the 370Z ?? Yeah, it's massive, inaccurate and sloppy in my opinion....................but it works. The engine and general set up of the car means that you don't have to snap the gear changes like you may want to or feel the need too when pressing on. I almost feel that the more patient you are with it the better results you get. I don't think I'll ever be totally at home with it but Im certainly to a level now with it where it doesn't bother me enough to seriously complain about it. Worth a thought I suppose.

nissanman312 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I agree my pal drove it the other week and I aid just take your time it won't snap in like his s2k I really can't get 6th somtimes One guy sod he's on his 3rd gearbox clutch seems to be an issue Don't get me wrong I love my 370 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 That's funny, I came from a S2000 too. The gearbox on that is like a bolt rifle - stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
