New car part 2

[mr bognor]

Going on from this thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?752174-New-French-Car I picked up my new car on Friday .

Have wanted one for a long time and thought sod it

Pic below after a quick wash .

 

[_Tom]

Well played sir. Infinitely better.

 

[mr bognor]

I thought you would approve it from the 207 GTI

The girlfriend has now got the 207 GTI so it has worked out well .

I still say the 207 GTI is a good car ( if it is working ) and would fit all of my needs but it does not excite me and as much as I tried I could never love / get excited about the car even tho I did like it if that makes sense .

Alan

Well played sir. Infinitely better.

 

[daveski]

[mr bognor]

Think I've seen that car around here in Armagh NI

 

[zedx19]

Vast improvement on the 207 rubbish.

 

[mr bognor]

I still like the 207 and will drive it at times from the GF .

Think it got a bad rap for not being the new 205 .

Alan

Vast improvement on the 207 rubbish.

 

[mr bognor]

Had the first small problem with the Z .

The cooling fans are not kicking in ( common problem ) and the engine will overheat if left at idle .

Nissan want over £ 850 for the fans so have got the below on order with some other bits .

And also H-DEV plenum spacer .

Alan

 

[mr bognor]

Parts have arrived

 

[C.J]

My 350 looked identical, good choice.

I also had the cooling fan problem, overheated on my twice and chucked coolant everywhere. I ended up paying £800 to get it fixed at Nissan, then sold it a few months later.

Love the noise of these.

 

[mr bognor]

Been a busy boy this weekend but I have installed all of the below with no major problems ( gear box filler nut and the inlet stud removal ) .

A few pic

First up an engine flush and oil and filter change .

Then was a gearbox oil change

Removed the broken rad fans

Then was the Inlet pendulum spacer

Spark plug change was next

A quick belt change as old one was not in good nick

Then install the new rad fans after some joining of the wires

Then on to the last bit the K & N typhoon

Al done

Next up is a Uprev ( ECU map and de limiter top speed 1 , 2 , 3 gear throttle ) to finish this off .

Alan

 

[mr bognor]

Uprev booked in at Abbey Motorsport for the 07/11/14 .

Will see what she makes .

Alan

 

[mr bognor]

Did a few other bits at the weekend .

New aerial done

Old one

New one

New wiper blades

Headlight adjust

Fuel sender clean with new O rings

 

[_Tom]

Get that leather cleaned. Looking a bit shiny.

 

[mr bognor]

Get that leather cleaned. Looking a bit shiny. :wink:

Will go on the list to do
Revup remap , breaks , ARB are first tho .

Alan

 

[mr bognor]

At the weekend I did the diff oil change

parts .

The filler plug was a PITA to get off but a bit of heat sorted this .

The plug had some shavings and sludge on it and the oil was a darker honey colour so a change was a good plan .

 

[Ian_182]

Great effort.

 

[mr bognor]

So on Friday I went up to Abbey Motorsport to have some Cobra HFC and a Milltek Y pipe fitted and the Uprev done .

Y pipe

HFC

Uprev with print out

The car started off with low ish numbers but saw some good gains in the end .

+ 19.3 BHP and + 12.9 LB/FT

Converting this in to old money ( on a rolling road and not hub dyno ) this should add 30-40 extra BHP / LB/FT and make the car around 275 BHP an 260 LB/FT

The car Is loosing power and torque with the K & N typhoon fitted as the temp was going up and the std exhaust will not help this as well so if I change this and add a V/S to the air intake we would see around another 7-10 but the extra noise of the K & N is worth the loss so this will be staying .

Alan

 

[_Tom]

30-40 bhp? Christ never though a remap on a n/a. The RR says at the flywheel?

 

[mr bognor]

30-40 bhp? Christ never though a remap on a n/a. The RR says at the flywheel?

It was on a Hub dyno so around 30-40 if it was on a rolling road .

Gains were 19.3 BHP at the Hub

Alan

 

[mr bognor]

A few pic after a good wash and x 3 coats wax

 

[_Tom]

Nice work but you always miss the tyre shine..

 

[mr bognor]

I did put a bit on but it ran out

 

[Steven103]

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-35...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d4b0e7802

FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY TWO POUNDS.

I've seen it all.

 

[mr bognor]

FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY TWO POUNDS.

I got my one new in blue for £ 175 :smile:

Ebay does have some good points

I bloody hope you paid less than £465 lol. Fairly spectacular profit margin as far as induction kits go.

 

[Brett]

How fast are these? Do they handle nicely?

An old member on here had a 370Z and rated it very highly.

 

[mr bognor]

Little bit quicker than a MK 6 GOLF GTI I found in my one .

handle nice bit heavy at 1525 KG for the GT pack ones .

I love my one for the looks and noise alone .

Alan

[fez]

great car

 

[mr bognor]

Only one point to note is that parts and tuning part are not cheep for this car and you will never gain a lot of BHP on this engine as most make 250 ish not the 275 the book said .

Alan

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

I end up looking at these once every 6 months as a guy at the top of the hill I live on had an S15 and went to a 350z so always wanted to ask why, But watched a bunch of video's on youtube of these and just the noise alone is a beauty!

 

[mr bognor]

Another update time .

On Monday went to Abbey Motorsport for some suspension parts and to turn off the engine light that came on after the Uprev .

First was two new banana arms

Then a Whiteline front anti roll bar set to soft with Whiteline drop links .

Then a Whiteline rear anti roll bar set to soft with Whiteline drop links .

And today I set the rear up to medium for the ARB

Car is now much more tight and flat and turn in Is much sharper .

Alan

 

[mr bognor]

Next small update got round to fitting a few bits .

First up some CREE LED number plate lights

OLD

NEW

Then the bonnet dampers

 

[mr bognor]

Got the chance to use my G3 wax today after it stopped raining

 

[mr bognor]

So this weekend was the brake upgrade / change .

Fist up was to remove the front discs and pads .

Front disc not in good shape

Or the pads

Then to fit the new front disc and pads

Then the front S/S brake lines

Then on to the rears with old disc and pads removed

Then to fit the new disc and pads

And the new S/S lines

Then it was a brake fluid flush / bleed to finish off .

And a quick oil and filter change .

• 
  Alan

 

[mr bognor]

Ok so after putting a few miles and bedding the brakes in I can report on the set up .
The old brakes were not in the best of shape so any change would be an improvement .
First up is the pedal feel with the new S/S lines the travel so much shorter and the feel so much firmer and all of the dead / squish feel is removed and just a firm reassuring pedal .
Next up is the stopping power from the new discs and the DS2500 pads all round .
Very very strong stopping and no fade even from 70 MPH speeds .
If anyone is thinking about this set up I am very impressed so far .
Alan

 

[mr bognor]

Not many updates just a quick clean and wax .

Next up will be the exhaust suspension and tyres .

Alan

 

[mr bognor]

A few more updates over the weekend I got done .

Fist up was to clean then condition the leather seats .

Then was the boot counter weight removal ( boot does not pop up all the time due to this weight )

Then last up was to re adjust the aux and air con belts as there was a little slack and squeaking on start up .

Alan

 

[mr bognor]

Boot was still a bit sticky so put some plastic washers in the boot spring to fix this and make the boot pop up more .
