Hey guys, It's been a while but at my wits end about this one. I spent a long time looking around for answers but could find nothing. I've had a snake racing kit with out issues for a few years. The kit with upper control arms, idler brace, torsion bars and so on. Just recently installed new...

I also disabled the chip via an inline toggle switch that I set up and place in the cab so there is no power going to the chip when it is switched off.

The probe is fitted post turbo. I had a look where it is physically fitted and it is way down the pipe on the bend before it straightens out. Yeah I have an appointment with a diesel guy in town that is set up to do dyno tuning so I will sort this shit out one way or another.

No catch can. Hmmmm, it does sound like carbon build up doesn't it. Only because this has been a gradual thing and because of the black smoke when I had to tramp it. Is this a major thing or can it be fixed easily enough???

No other mods other than chip and egr mod (or maybe not egr mod either by the sounds of things although the installer swears he blocked it) I have my chip-it auto de tuner set at 565c so I have never been higher than that.

Yeah the egr is blocked. But not with a blocking plate. The installer did it some other way. I think he said he blocked the egr through the dump pipe. I still can't see where this was done by looking at it. Anyway, gonna get this sorted one way or the other. I had a suspicion that it could be a...

Hi Guys, Its been a long while since I was here last. I am thinking of taking my Chipit system out and reverting back to factory spec because my EGT is averaging pretty high these days. Even with the chip disabled and running on standard nissan tune, EGT's are still climbing as high as 500c...

I must admit, I haven't changed to a different tune since I had the chip installed. maybe things are different now that the engine has run in and a different tune is required. I think I will book it in for a 20k service (it's got 17500 on it at the moment.) and I will get it on the dyno while I...

hi guys, I may be worrying about nothing but I thought I would ask for some feed back. I had my chip it module installed about 9 mths ago and I have had nothing but trouble free motoring since then, but, I have noticed that over the past couple of months, my average egt's have increased by about...

From what I've read on this forum, the chances of the nissan guys actually noticing the mod is minimal. If its done correctly, they won't see it unless they physically go out of their way to look for it. Just don't paint the blanking plate bright orange or anything. To be honest, I don't know...

Mate, I have a new 2010 STR thats done 3.5k so far. I am happy with it. No probs apart from a rattle that I cant figure out when I go over lots of corrugations. But I guess you learn to live with those things by turning up the stereo. I think the EGR mod is a must do because you definitely don't...

Thanks Robert.

Hi Robert, I put a toggle switch on the fuse line so I don't have to go under the hood all the time to get the fuse out, its just a matter of switching the system on and off from inside the cab now. Any ideas if I can enable and disable the system while I am driving - on the fly so to speak...

You need to re authorize your original ipod. Itunes sucks sometimes. They do this because its their way of stopping people from sharing their music around to all the mates. You have about 5 authorities by memory I think.

Hi guys, I just installed a toggle switch on the fuse line to my chipit system. I did this because it is a pain in the butt to go under the hood all the time and take the fuse out if I want to disable the system and go back to Nissan factory tune for what ever reason. Now it is truly power when...

I had mine done with the EGR mod and EGT controller. The probe was installed on the dump pipe. The difference is remarkable but I still don't know what the max safe EGT is for this model. I am getting temps of between 250-490c in normal driving. The highest it went was 550c going up hill which...

Welcome aboard M8

:sarcastic: nice one...

Thanks Tony, The funny thing is if I fill up at the local independent servo the noise is louder than if I fill up at a shell or BP....... Maybe the local guy is selling me bio diesel or something....

Giday all, My Navs done 2k so far. Is it normal to have a bit of "tappet" noise in the engine while it is cold.? Sometimes its really loud but tends to go away somewhat after its warmed up. Don't know if I am being paranoid or not so I just thought I would throw you guys this question...
