the blue..............

Received 3 months ultimate cover from The Auto Group when buying my 350z. Saved me over £400 for replacement alternator, battery, wiring repair to fans and ecu reset. Could have quite easily said at the time of buying the car, forget the warranty and knock off a couple hundred quid :S having said that i wont be renewing my policy.

Wants buying this but also needs dulling down

just watched it, bit dark but sounds v good

Completely agree, breather mods can provide small gains evident in those bolt on DE's that producing more than factory bhp/lb-ft on a rolling road prior to a remap. to the OP, subscribed David

Yes but what lasting gains are to be had if the ecu dials them out days later? *never seen proof of this but so the story goes.........

http://engineering.m...ng-and-results/ As you can see, very nice results! We made power throughout the entire powerband, from 3,000 rpm all the way to 6,400 rpm. Our maximum gains were achieved in the midrange, equating to 10 whp and 13 wtq. At the peak of the rpm band, our gains were 6 whp and 9 wtq. When adding an intake, one of the primary concerns is the impact on the stock ECU tune in terms of air/fuel ratios. A review of the results showed that the ratios of our intake are extremely similar to the stock intake ratios. This setup is entirely safe and will not have a negative impact on engine integrity during any driving conditions.

I have the same system, sounds GREAT!! OE+ sports sound

Along with my Zed, I have a 1.4 j reg Nissan sunny. Cheap to run and tax, brand new tyres are £32 a corner, classic car insurance job done. Everyone let's you out at junctions thinking "I let grandad go" and a week of driving this makes the 350z feel like a Bugatti Veyron haha

Ello n welkom

^ take it all at the same rolling road?

http://www.350z-uk.c...age__hl__intake It's understood that any aftermarket intake setup won't show any lasting gains lol

If you purchase a new key from Nissan and when they code it to the car along with the key you have now, this will knock out the spare that you don't have so it can't start the car

Lush pal

Very smart looking zed pal and with the power to match. I can see it was a couple of months between the engine mods and the remap, what was the bhp on the base run prior to the uprev?

Dislok

trick is to drive a few examples, get to know the car as much as you can before parting with your cash. if i were you id spend 7k and get the best example you can, with the remainder set aside for tax, tyres, repairs, brakes, battery etc etc hopefully the car you choose will have had a clutch and exhaust replacement already. david

If the vehicle warranty is through a 3rd party then it doesn't matter i guess as your dealing with the warranty company not j17 should any warrantable faults occur

I had to look out the window then, no reg still says 05' What's the crack with this lot........

What was your base run? And how come you have veyron levels of torque lol

That plenum test was carried out on a 06 revup zed, ie different to a early DE. I already have E/I/P breather mods and wouldn't take anyone's money to prove or disprove information that already exist, but thank you. Its already been said that breather mods on a 350z can show lasting gains over stock prior to uprev. David

That's all ive been trying to say........ How does the ecu know what power the engine is producing from one day to the next?.....

^ Ekona your either speaking from experiance or your not......... if theres a thread detailing what you are saying with a rolling road or engine dyno back up, pls kindly share the link. was this an import toyota or uk spec? an exhaust on a turbo car is again different to n/a tuning which is tough at the best of times.

varing levels of power due to the gtr's engine being hand built is the only reason. pre remap showed 282bhp i think, which is more than a stock 10+ yr old motor would be expected to see is all im trying to say. i just dont get why the ecu would reduce gains over a period of a couple weeks? and how would someone know this? sorry if im asking the same questions again and again but ive seen nowt back up to confirm this to be true. i completely understand and know that to get the very best out of any engine upgrades requires a remap to do this, however to say these I/P/E mods do nothing without an uprev is bizarre. Or rather do show gains, then you wake up one morning and your back to what you had prior to fitting them. david

sorry pal, its messing on my silly blackberry. if any breather modded 350z turns up for an uprev with more than stock power, that kinda blows the above agrument to piece tbf. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/91628-gmballistics-zed-supercharged-2003-gun-metal-gt-coupe-vids-added/page__st__20
