the link didnt work for me, but i bet i know what it is..

1. no it probably wont work

2. i hope people wouldnt have it on there skyline

3. IMO.. i would not buy it

4. probably will throw something out of wack. computer maybe..

reality is... if these crapchips really really worked and were that great! they would be on everyones "first thing to do to my car list"

up to you.. buy it try it and tell us that it will probably do more harm than good. thats my bet anyway..

i even got one for free i wouldnt try it.

Lol yeah I know these things! It's just a resistor that gets put across your AFM output, lowering the signal. Basically it just runs the engine slightly richer.

so it will work??and be good for the engine?

before you do ANY kind of modding:

Read through the forum on all the related topics for 3 months, then you'd get a good idea of how things usually work, what parts needs changing when you change one thing or two things etc.

Don't selectively read things that you think are important e.g. how to make flutter noise or how to make my exhaust sound like a jet plane. Read each related topics thoroughly and then you'll know exactly what you need to mod for what you want the car to do.

We've all made the same mistakes before, especially when we are new to the scene.

Leaner. Richer make less power on a car that has a stock ECU.

It might work. It might not be bad for the engine.

However, its some generic off-the-shelf resistor that affects your AFM signal to the ECU and has probably never been tested on a car similar to yours, let alone the same. If it was tuned perfectly for your car then it'd be as good as an A'PEXi SAFC.

If it works badly it does nothing at all, or kills power while increasing fuel consumption. If it works really badly it leans out your mixture to a point where it starts to detonate and you break something.

you get what you pay for. do you honestly think a $20 chip has any testing or proven benefits associated with it?

if you don't have the money to modify the car properly from the start than don't bother doing it all as it just leads to more problems down the track.

It will modify any standard ECU by telling the ECU that the incoming air in the intake system is cold and so advances the ignition by up to 2 degrees with more fuelling to compensate, therefore producing more power with more torque at lower revs. In many cases fuel economy is increased too.

so... u put more fuel in and then fuel economy is increased... :P

ive missed something... lol

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
