Hi guys
I am new to the site and the forum, have a 07 ZR usually spotted in Scarborough or Markham. Picked it up last year had it kitted, threw in a sound system, intake and exhaust. Was looking to get it tuned, anyone know or recomend any local shops? Also anyone with experience with engine management systems and whats a good brand ? Also was thinking about a clutch and fly wheel kit. Would love some input from people who have already gone the route.

 

Id throw some more mods into it before dropping a grand on a tune. Welcome! Got pics??

 

Welcome.

You won't need a tune until you have at least completed all of your NA mods. And even then, only after changing headers.
-Save your money until then.

If you do decide you want to blow a grand.. You should go with Osiris -Uprev.

As for local shops.
Speedstar is in Markham. (For all things JDM)
NextMod is in Richmondhill (Great shop for interior & exterior mods)
APH for tuning located in the west of the city(Had a split up recently, so I am unsure of its status)
Automatrix opening soon. They will be a full service shop.

Your best bet is to start reading through the this subforum. It contains a wealth of information.

 

all great shops/places listed above. aph is still up and running and bryan the tuner is a stand up guy and can tune you bolt ons with the osirus uprev. but like said above wait till all your bolt ons are complete. if you plan on going further i.e boost then haltech for a stand alone is highly recomended and bryan will tune that for you also.

good luck with the car and congrats, hope to see you at some meets this season. you will see a lot of last min meets posted up here through out the seaon.

 

Welcome........
You should put in a header before you get tuned. If you are looking for nice and cheap for your clutch and flywheel, I will say go for JWT(Jim Wolf Tech). I had mine installed by APH and it is awesome. But Remember to change your Slave Cylinder to the HD slave cylinder. Because yours is HR trans.........

 

It wont cost you a grand for tune. APH did my and with just test pipes/ cold air (with a stock nismo exhaust - not a huge difference from stock honestly) and i would do tune if i was in your shoes, runs smoother.

 

If you are looking for a JWT clutch and stillen headers a board member from ottawa has both for sale at great prices. PM me and I will give you his contact info.

I wouldn't get it tuned until you need it or you have all your NA mods.

Welcome by the way.

 

I have the JWT Clutch not the flywheel. 300$ http://imgur.com/a/EJ4ov#0
from my experience if you are gonna do clutch that's the easiest time to do the headers because you are no more they a few steps away and you will save yourself hours of work and labor. I also have Stillen Headers as well as HFC Random tech. I will be in the Toronto area as soon as Gord Bush is done with my motor. Pm me if you want pics of everything

 

Thanks a tonne for all the input guys. I will definitely read up on the JWT clutch and flywheel and get back to you The_Dr. So you guys recomend headers for the HR ? what other N/A mods would you guys recomend ? tioga how much did your tune cost you and what system did you go with ? And i will put some pics up by the end of the weekend hopefully we get some nice sunny days

 

IIRC, the HR motor came with a header design, that was far superior to the ones on the DE motor.
If you are switching headers, I would recommend looking into a pair of Long Tubes.

 

Other NA mod will best suit for the HR will be header and Final Gear. I didn't install header yet, but I installed the Central 20 3.9 final gear by APH. This is amazing, you can feel the car going a lot faster.

 

Kitted with rimmed up killer system? Somethings fishy.....

 

welcome to the site, what colour is your Z? i always go to your area.

 

Whats fishy about it ZS14 :S , the car is grey manZ. Reality 350 i agree with you i read up on the headers and they say no noticable gains would be achieved by swapping the headers on the HR. 350zlee i am not quite sure i know how the final gear works or the concept in question here ....

 

Here is some idea how the final gear work....

Changing final gear makes it low geared ( pointed to acceleration), pickup and response will be the important specifications. The effect of the final gear change becomes able to obtain a feeling of sharp acceleration greatly.

Welcome to MY350Z.

 

350zlee thanks for the explanation and the link i am definitely gonna add that to the list and try and get it asap. This doesn't by any chance make your gears shorter though does it ? Thanks Verdict. I was looking into an ACT HD clutch kit and a Fidzana lightened flywheel, underdrive pulleys, as well as Tomie cams and then maybe a tune.

 

Yes it will make all your gears shorter. The higher the final gear, the shorter the gear, it will go up to 200km easily, but no top speed. But no way you can drive more then 200km locally. It won't add any hp, but definitely you will see your car is a lot faster. go search final gear in the forum, so you can understand more. PS: remember if you are getting flywheel and clutch, don't forget to get the HD slave cyclinder.
