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?

yeah true wont get it but its cheap and looks efective but cant take the chance

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.

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

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

go to servo

buy chips

put in glovebox

drive car home

notice there is no difference when chips installed in car

park in driveway

eat chips

thank yourself that you didnt spend money to get piece of shit china crap off ebay

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
