yarters Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hi folks, i joined here 7 years ago when I was considering a 350z vs an FN2 civic type R to replace my previous EP3 type R. I ended up with a civic that I modified to 370bhp turbo'd and ran to 100k miles. 5 weeks ago I sold it and finally bought a Z which I love!! It's a completely different experience to the civic but I'm very happy. I have a few few minor mods planned but not to the extent took the civic! I now now have a grey 58 plate HR with 45k on the clock. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarters Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 I imagine a lot of people have found this buy I went in to my local Nissan dealer last week for a price for updating my sat nav DVD and they wouldn't even say the figure out loud! They wrote down £411.92!!!! I was amused anyway, I was hoping for about twenty quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veeg33 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hello and welcome You can get a new head unit with satnav for that price!! Those stealership always try their luck....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cimanu Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Welcome! Z is a pretty common step once you're done with 9k honda limiter life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 HR is the way to go my friend! lol You'll love it and from a stock point of view the Z will eat Civics... trust me I've 1/4'd quite a few of them lol (mind you not with 370! lol) Totally different driving experience but you'll love every moment of it. HR Discliamer: If it skips/jerks at slow speed around 1K revs... its fine lol (you can smooth it out with a tune apparently, I've just never bothered) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those stealership always try their luck....... yep that's what i said to the guy - he couldn't disagree! I can live with it for now I think Although I have seen a 2013 disc on ebay for about 9 quid so might chance that.. On 07/11/2017 at 13:16, Cimanu said: Welcome!

HR Discliamer: If it skips/jerks at slow speed around 1K revs... its fine lol (you can smooth it out with a tune apparently, I've just never bothered) it really is such a different experience but a lot of people have said the same about it being a common step. I have already taken it to TDi North who built my civic and they mentioned the same. They also mentioned the remap option to smooth out the response in the first 3 gears. Apparently a safety thing done on purpose to stop people spinning out when setting off with a heavy right foot... The civic was mental fast really, especially once moving. I knew whatever I was likely to get it would not be quite as fast but I am impressed with the low down power and strong pull all the way through the revs. Also very nice having rear wheel drive traction off the line It's just such a nice place to be sat in the drivers seat of the Z, I am not disappointed one bit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 To eliminate that jerk that happens at around 1k revs? If you can could you tell us or even PM me what it cost to have that smoothed out? I've considered it but never really wanted to spend a fortune in getting it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of the Uprev remap they do - prices on their website. bit more power and torque across the whole rev range plus improved throttle response in the first 3 gears I'm told (eliminating that hesitation). Not had it done yet, but I will in the new year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's a different car after being mapped, really pulls at the top now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
