hey there, was just thinking about putting a chip on my r32 GTS-T RB20DET, but dont really know too much about them, so justw anted to know if u have any personal experience with any particular ones, cost, benefits, disadvantages, fuel economy, anything useful to know.

found one on ebay seems reasonably but like i said have no idea what im looking for.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Skyline-R32-GTS-t-RB20DET-Performance-Drift-Chip-/200673553677?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb9136d0d

Personally, my r32 gts-t is running around 12psi boost, has a hi-flow cat and cat back exhaust...not much mods, so will a chip make a difference at all? should i go for this easy mod?

Cheers.

Probably get about an extra 100-150 FTWkw, and if you add racing stripes looking at another 50kw add speed holes and looking at reduced drag.

So all up. Get the chip, paint stripes and punch holes in car. Untouchable yo!!!!! worship.gif

gee thanks for the useful info...as i said i dont know much about them so not necessary to be like that "yo"

Dude. It's a computer chip. On eBay. What could possibly go wrong?

didnt mean just the performance chips on ebay, wanted to know all the info about them, are they worth getting from well known brands, what are they? price differnces etc,

Are performance chips in general a good idea or a load of bull?

what u plan on doing in the future will impact on the choice u make,

if u just keep the car how it is then just get a nistune, will provide a decent level of tunning to some good results, clean up how the car drives

or if u plan on going further with bigger turbos, injectors n the like choices will go from the simple but reliable power fc costing usually round $1000+ tunning right thruogh to haltec, motec etc which will cost u a shit load more

but as said above if u simply went into the forced induction section and used the search function all the answers u could ever want will show up.

This type of question have been covered many times before, thats y people get the shits when it is continually asked

Look at it this way, if it cost $35 to increase the HP so easily, why didn't Nissan do it? Just getting your car tuned properly on a dyno after making any sort engine mod is going to cost several $100 or more.

Modding a car correctly is EXPENSIVE! If you find anything that you want, that doesn't make you think "hmmmmm........do I need to eat this month?", then it is probably a cheap piece of crap that will kill your car eventually. When it comes to modding your car, "you get what you pay for" is correct in about 99% of situations.

Ok cool, thanks for the info guys, yeah I don't plan to modify this car all too much, went thru all the major modyifing with another car n kinda over it, just want something nice to cruise around in that looks neat. So I'll look into the nistune option, again thanks.

ill sell the midas touch since i got it, and it will add 30-31.1 million hp :) no support mods needed matter a fact no engine needed either! :P

...stay away from that sorta crap...people spend $1000 to get 10kw, so just think about it......

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
