Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Swapping an ECU with an UpRev tune

Diocletian · 10-27-2010, 10:16 PM

So I'm going to be trading in my 370z for another 370z....long story. Currently my car has the following mods listed in my sig. The dealer has offered to move all bolt-ons to the current car so everything will be exactly the same. My current car and the new one I am getting are EXACTLY the same in spec, same year, same transmission, even the same color lol.

My question is as follows:
Since the new car is exactly the same, and the mods are also the same can I actually just swap the ECU from my current car to the new one? Is this feasible? Will anything bad happen?

The reason I'm asking this is because otherwise I have to bring my current car back to the tuner(HP Logic) and have the current tune pulled off of it in order for me not to be charged $500 again to replace the tune to the new car. This is time consuming and a lot of driving as HP Logic is 45 minutes away from me, plus this cannot be done in the same day.

I think swapping the ECU will save time and hassle. Any help would be appreciated as I plan to sign the papers for the new Z tomorrow evening.
