ive heard countless people say that... "dont drive it untill its tuned properly" and that may be, well is true... but what ACTUALLY happens in the long run if you do not get the car tuned accordingly and u drive like a maniac? what damage can be done to the engine? cuz i would assume the "base map" would be very, very similar to the stock ECU... isnt it?

no a GTS-t base map has some real nasty timing figures in it and will damage your engine.

hence why i said dont drive around on it too long or under load...

just plug it in start it up and drive casualy to your tuner, done... :thumbsup:

yeah might jus do it down there or something.. gonna go with godzilla motorsport.. seems very well respected on SAU forums.. jus gotta decide what i should do with upgrades.. possibly wait, but i'm impatient too lol.. yeah i know pfc increases performance a good amount.. it needs a good tune though as it's running 'very' rich atm

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
