I had a interesting day visiting 4x4 shops pricing stuff up . I found a small 4x4 shop that had a stx550 in there having a few mods being done , the bloke was keen to show me a few bits and pieces and I was interested in picking his brain .
Now the most exciting thing he told me is that he is able to remove the factory computer and reprogram it then re install and essential override most if the factory settings .
He tells me he does this without the need for any external control being fitted to the ecu then sets a tune , that has equally as good outputs as any plug in chip . He says it's not detectable by Nissan and they can't reset or override it .
He showed me a box full of chip units , some very expensive that have been discarded as rubbish !
He also tells me he could most likely override the problem with the gearbox when it changes from 1st in 4L
I was sold ! And all that for $1350
I didn't think it was possible to do that without a control unit being installed but he convinced me ..
What do you blokes think?
