  1. Ah i was hoping it wasnt australia as i know their ECUs are popular over there. Anyone heard of any tuners in the South East England with experiance of fitting and tuning cars with these?

     

    Could always come over here to my tuner B)

     

    I'd say he would do a group buy :teeth:

     

    :lol:

    Ireland Run 2009? Could do a tour of Scotland > Wales > Ireland > Wales again and get it tuned on the way :teeth:

     

    BOOKED! I'll pop over and start at A and finish @ B :thumbs:

  3. Borla exhausts are no problem - we can ship worldwide, and shipping really is not all that expensive - especially with our newly renegotiated rates

     

    As for the headers, 1. you wouldn't want the Borla, as they really don't net any significant gains and 2. they are meant for LHD cars, so would not work on the UK or JDM models

     

    B) Deadly :headhurt: PM me a shipping quote to IRE/Dublin

     

     

     

    :yahoo:

  4. hmm not a very current photo no :(

     

    this is the touchscreen for it though (the software is updated a bit since though!) - the PC is a mini-itx board with a 2.4 GHz pentium-m and 1gb ram etc, it sits in the glovebox out of sight!

    deadly where did you get that?! :yahoo: Could reload maps on the fly!!!

  5. Good numbers mate, you seem to have a drop off though at 230 on the new numbers, but then it pics up.

     

    Worth throwing it up on my350z to see what they think :)

     

    You mind sharing who tuned it and what you paid for the haltech and fitting?

     

    haven't paid yet :scare:

     

    I'll post more info once I collect it :teeth:

  6. Hi Guys,

     

    Thought I'd share some very unexpected results of a bit of my performance tuning.

     

    What I got on standard dyno:

     

    Nissan 350z 2003 JPM Import

    Apexi drop in filter

    Running Texaco petrol ( :scare: )

     

    Pulled: 265 on the flywheel... :wacko:

     

    Current setup on dyno:

    Nissan 350z 2003 JPM Import

    Apexi drop in filter

    Pure Plenum Spacer kit (well worth the buck!)

    Haltech Platinum 350Z (deadly)

    Maxol E5 (:boxing:)

     

    Pulled: 323 on the flywheel!

    :headhurt:

     

    :yahoo:

     

    Can't wait to pick the car up from the tuner! :thumbs:

    (and put in an order for a new set of rear tyres) :blush:

     

    Got the after dyno sheet, I'll post that now need to take a photo or something of the before one B)

     

     

    note: before is with base haltech map

  7. I don't believe the Haltch affects the speed limiter at all but have never really examined it, as US cars are limited to 155 as I recall...more than enough for most :)

     

    Any of the haltech ECU's don't touch the speedo limiter since it's different from jap to uk/us versions... they are however looking into it :D Might wait and see if they can sort it out? :teeth:

     

    N o need to loose the license any quicker :D

     

     

    :thumbs:

  8.  

    B) ... but if you are going to spend 1k why spend an extra 175 if you dont need to.. catch what I'm trying to say? :D

     

    why pay 1K+ to remove the limiter when it can be done for £175?? :wacko:

     

    If you are only after removing the limiter then the Haltech won't be needed.

     

    I'm getting Haltech either way, was wondering if it removes the speed limitation. :yahoo: if it doesnt I'd buy both. see? :thumbs:

  9. I contacted Abbey Motorsport about an aftermarket ECU for the Z. They are trying to push the HKS F-Con at the moment. The final cost that they quoted me was well over £3k, Ive still got the quote that they sent somewhere so ill try and dig it out.

     

    My car was dynoed a few months back & made just above standard power figures & well below standard TQ figures - this was with filter,plenum,exhaust,y-pipe&cats. I was having a few problems with the cats at the time though so im hoping that now I have my new cats in my torque will return.

     

    To get the most out of N/A mods you really need an aftermarket ECU installed but at the price from Abbey + the cost of mods I would have been better off installing a supercharger.

     

    we are now supplying the Haltech plug and play - more features than the F Con, and, less money :)

     

    haltech: http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?mode ... rodid=2843

     

    or, there is the utec too, which works well for NA mods, and for forced induction up around 500 hp. I have the UTEC in my full NA car, and its worked great, though I am now upgrading to the Haltech in the coming weeks

     

    utec: http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?mode ... rodid=1602

     

    and of course, both are in stock :)

     

    Maybe you can answer if that ECU gets rid of the speed limiter on a JPY import? :surrender:

     

    get a HKS speed defender, that will sort it out

     

    True but why get a HKS for XXX£ when a Haltech hopefully takes it out too B) monies saved! :thumbs:

  10. it's been proven on dyno's with test pipes, better getting high flow cats, at least then you don't have to remove them come MOT time

     

    So we are talking loss in compression or something? mmm weird... Dont understand why that would be even if its proven (sorry) :teeth:

  12. Hi mate. Welcome aboard! :thumbs:

     

    Looking like a tasty want-list but I'd give the test pipes a miss as you'll lose loads of torque. Borla's an interesting choice of exhaust - why that?

     

    Loose torque :byebye: why is that?

     

    Borla True Dual = very cost effective compared to Amuse T1 True Dual like 2.5k € in a difference!

    Welcome to the forum!

     

    I get the window drop thing on my JDM.. sounds stupid but did you know that the windows only go up automatically if you pull the switch hard? If you pull it lightly it goes up manually and stays. I cant be arsed to take apart the doors etc for the sake of a light pull on the switch;)

    Actually found that out today going into work! :yahoo:

     

    Still it should work and doesn't look to hard to take it apart. Did you fix your speed-limit and radio? (how if you did, which route did you take..)[/b]

     

    Thanks for the :welcome: 'S

  13. Hi there :teeth:

     

    Registered on the 350z-tech site and thought I might register here too seeing that it's a bit closer localities etc ? B)

     

    Got my Z a week ago came in from JPY... very good nick! a 2003 GT model... (I think)

     

    Some mods but don't really know what they are, in some need of TLC... Window on driver side does not close when using automatic up (goes up fully then down 1/4)... think the fix for that is reset the motor, clean motor, get new motor (go figure). Other issue is when it's warm and you start the car it dies if you dont tap the accelerator (once it comes down from 1k rpm). Fix for that was air filter (really BAD), if not air filter then MAF sensor (clean)... I did both (took out the filter just to test since my Apexi one will take another week to arrive.

     

    Love the car! Have a Zees exhaust (end pipes) on it... love the sound. Started doing a mod's roadmap :D

     

    Anyway live in IRE/Dublin... hope to spend some time in here and help and get some help with millions of Q's that I will have (after I use the search function button!)

     

    :scare:

     

     

    Currently looking for:

    New front tyres, tracking for 4 wheels

    Service (Oil and Oil filter change)

    Replacement ECU (Haltech?)

    New Test pipes

    Borla True Dual Exhaust

    Air intake (going for apexi slip-in for now)

    Plenum spacers

    Going to leave it in for a general health check :thumbs:

    Want to do:

    fix the radio

    get rid of the antenna in the back

    :headhurt:
