1 of the things we notice when we tune the 350Z is how far the actual AFR’s are away from what the ECU require. So when we remap the stock ECU using the UPREV software we adjust the compensation map to hit the actual required AFR maps within the calibration loaded into the stock ECU. This is what we say even fitting performance enhancing mods the cars don’t give anymore bhp/torque until we re-tune the stock ECU YELLOW bank 2 AFR DARK BLUE Bank 1 AFR LIGHT BLUE required AFR STOCK MAP TUNED MAP on Abbey Dynapck Dyno Mark

flick me an email to mark(@)abbeymotorsport.co.uk we can discuss this further.

Yes tuning via datalogs will never be as good as tuning the car on our dyno but we do know these cars pretty well so the map wont be far away from perfect.

No we have a car to use for development on this DE kit.

will be a different price to your's Peter , we can go for a different supplier for the DE cars , working on a new package price at the moment either Abbey fit the kit or we supply a box of bits with a base tune on a Uprev cable to be loaded into the car prior to coming to Abbey for a the final tune. I am working with suppliers to try and keep the price as cheap as possible kit will be bolted to a car prior to be released to make sure it is all spot on.

does this you give you idea what we are up to @ Abbey?

We tuned car over 100K even supercharged a 125K 350Z with good results. As Spursmadedave said it isnt all about bhp gain, we smooth the car out better throttle response just make the car nice. Mark

we are just off of the M25 @ Junction 6, carry out a better job than any main dealer , tea/coffee and toast is nice too I hear.

looks very nice for that mileage TBH. would make a nice weekend car for some one.

As I am looking for a Roadster for myself I thought I get someone to have a look at this car; This is what my friend reported after viewing the car; : 1. Exhaust system buggered in normal place 2. Different tires all round. N/s/r close to markers 3. Roof skin split on both sides where it meets rear 1/4. Drivers side being worse 4. Drive Belts needs doing. 5. Big fat alloy rad. To the extent that the air box doest fit too well. 6. Loads of stone ships on the bonnet. 7. Oil around dip stick hole. 8. Front bumper repainted. 9. Replaced o/s/f wing. Has a different chassis number on it. Chips in paint around the head light too 10. Bumper bar slightly dented. Also had rips in the top of it. 11. Drivers door a tad clunky when shutting and opening. ( could just need lubing up and adjusting. 12. I would say its done more then 55000 miles considering the gear knob and state of engine bay. doesn't look like it has had major damage as the chassis legs look straight and original. Normal other stuff needs doing compression arms bushes worn out drop links noisy. Maybe worth a bid if your up for a little work , will bid them next week. thanks

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item27cec8b02e looks in good condition.

there maybe someone closer soon for your northern guys.

Yep we can remap your stock ECU no troubles, where are you based as we will have some exciting news soon if you no that local to us @ RH8 postcode. Mark

They will need deleting in the UP REV map they will always come back on if you not running any CATS.

We have tuned cars with both system's fitted. The Invidia dual systems don't give the mid range torque like the Milltek we have noticed over the 4+ years we have been tuning these cars. But both systems work well and sound well , the Invidia being a little more aggressive than the Milltek.

stock cars runs around 265bhp at the HUB we gain 12bhp and 10lb/ft of torque after tuning.

Afraid Abbey is in Surrey just off of Junction 6 of the M25. Stock HR 350Z gain around 10bhp and 10 lb/ft improved throttle repsonse and even better fuel economy. Dyno plots for stock HR versus UPREV( on Abbey Dynapack) tuned stock HR Uprev remaps at Abbey are £402-00 inc vat

Gonzo88, where are you based in the UK? We can tune your car a few ways , 1. come to Abbey for a remap on our in house Dynapack day. 2. We can supply a Uprev cable to allow you to upload maps tuned by Abbey 3. You can visit one of our Sub dealers we are setting up in the UK. let me know what you would like to do. any questions ask away. Mark

Look at post #18 , I have uploaded the picture onto this thread yesterday. So everything is all okay now except the CEL coming up? Get us the code or I can meet you 1 night to pull the code for you?

They do have numbers on each lead 1,3 and 5 drivers side 2,4 and 6 on the passengers side. But seen it done loads of times even by a Nissan Dealer....

it will have 2 coil leads transposed normally even bank number 4 and 6 , the leads don't go in the position like they look like they should but if you look carefully they are numbered. Oil on threads isnt anything to worry about imho. The plugs are very worn thou typical 350Z. Any questions Rob ask away.

the exhaust tail pipes always blacken this is no real test of weather the car is running rich or lean as when the car cold starts it will blacken the tail pipes. Running Milltek and pop charger will normally not mak any difference to fuelling but the cars really needs a run on the dyno to check AFR to ensure everything is running correctly

I would say ask for a good will job on the clutch your getting it fitted for free as the spigot bush breaking up is warrantied( sounded like a clutch release bearing to me thou) We could supply a uprated clutch for half price ( but we don't have stock I am afraid) but ask them to do it free or at least at the clutch @ cost , the mileage you have done is about right for a new clutch thou on a 370Z. Mark

The trouble with LPG is has no lubrication within the gas where as Petrol does , so running LPG can/will cause issues with valve guides etc etc , I know that LPG fitting agents say they dont have any issues but this is what I have picked up from other people that have run the Gas. I presume the valve care system will just inject oil just like a 2 stroke does for lubrication. It also seems to make the valve seats work hard so therefore wear out and any work on a Zed motor requires a motor out job evnt o remove the cylinder heads, you can strip the front covers off int he car but it is PITA. LPG does have a higher octane rating the super unleaded thou, so it could make more power if tuned correctly.

have they sorted the release bearing problem?
