I'm surprised the rear axle managed to stay attached! Under full load I could see the car parting ways! Keep the faith, many years ago (far too many to mention) I turned a rusty wreck of a capri into a concours winner. I'd quite like to start another rust bucket project to keep alongside my 370z

Do you mean you are looking for an aftermarket stand alone ECU? Like Link or Emerald?

You're stressing. The code that bought the MIL on should be in memory. Ecutek has a code reader (I've never tried it as I have a Topdon OBD2 scanner) so you should be able to confirm the reason.

It's not something I would bother telling insurance. Anyone ever asks... the car came with it and you thought it was OEM.

You mean this? Dyno's vary by type and even individual machine configuration / calibration, how well its been maintained, and operator error. 290 on a dyno jet might be 240 on a dyno dynamics, 300 on a dyno pack, or 230 on a superflow and so on. It's at best a guide. The only guaranteed data point is the manufacturers published hp start point when it left the factory. Anyway arguing hp numbers on a forum is as old as time, I know what I have and I'm happy with it for now 😁

Took the car to Horsham for a remap today. Very pleased with the result, my bum dyno says the car feels sharper and more on it, and the torque I felt it had lost from fitting the HFCs is back. Obviously the max hp figures are a bit meaningless, but have included below anyway. I am led to understand a stock 370z on a dyno dynamics is around 240 whp give or take; so the HFCs, Invidia and MegaFlow panel filters plus the tune have added about +40 hp over standard which would put it somewhere around 370-380 hp. Seems about right.

Fitted the Tesla style screen today, a quick but fun mod and glad to see the back of the atrocious OEM media

My seat dyno is saying it's lost a little torque but gained power at the top end and revs way more freely. With the remap I'm hoping to gain some torque back. I'll know next Thursday!

I bought the Invidia and the HFCs at the same time, fitted them, and found it loud. I dropped the standard cats back on but found it a bit meh, and put the HFCs back on again. If I could dial it back a couple of db that would be perfect, but its okay; mine is a toy and a project, I drive probably no more than 50 miles a month. If it were a daily driver I'd definitely keep the stock cats. I don't know where you are, but if you happen to be in the South West and want to listen to mine your welcome.

You won't need bumper vents, unless you want the look in which case fill your boots Personally I'm not convinced CAI are necessary unless you are getting very high under bonnet temps, but again if you want them do what makes you happy, it's your car. They do look good. I have Invidia Gemini and Torqen HFCs and the car is certainly loud, but loud pipes save lives so I consider I am doing a public service to road safety... 😂 I have remap booked for Thursday pm next week at Horsham to take advantage of the HFCs, if I had just stuck to cat back I probably wouldn't bother. Not sure what you mean stage 2 remap? A rolling road session should end with a map that suits your car in its current state of mod, whatever that is.

Welcome 😁

Edit I have the nuts that came off (with the flimsy castellation tin hats that are the root cause of the problem) but I must have reused the washers. You need to add as many washers as necessary to bring the new castellated nut far enough out that the cotter pin fits properly into the castellation rather than on the edge. That's why the kit comes with 6. I think/must have used all 6 plus the original 2 as well. Sorry can't help with measuring them.

I did the fix myself a couple of months ago using the Torqen kit, it's an easy job. I might have the old washers in the garage to measure up, I'll have a look later.
