Performance chips

Ive been seeing some performance chips for the G online. Has anyone purchased any of these performance chips? If so, what do you think. Are they reliable?

^Yup. Our ECU's will just toast that thing.

No rebutable company has made a performnce chip for the ECU's that nissan uses for the 350Z/G35/G37. So if you see any, they're no good. The only ways to go with our ECU's are a reflash or a piggy-back ECU.

Yea, don't buy any of those ebay "performance chips", they are all garbage and will probably damage your car.

I belive IMPUL makes a "chip" for the G37, but I have not read any reviews on that.

Your best bet would be to send your ECU out to a company that does performance re-flashes. But its not cheap so you should have other N/A mods done before doing that (intake, hfc's, exhaust, headers, ect.)

The IMPUL chip is suppose to be setup for their exhaust system so if you have their exhaust setup then the chip is a good thing to get from what I hear.
