Upgrade chip?

Armhunter · 03-28-2012, 12:28 AM

Does anyone know if there is an upgrade chip for the Nismo? or is it already beefed up?

There is not a "chip" you can buy for the Z but you can have the ECU tuned.

Do a search in the Tuning section and you will see tons of options

And since the other guy didn't mention it the Nismo already comes with a tune. It's part of what gives it the extra power over the regular 370z. The second part is the exhaust. The exhaust is good for about 7hp and the tune for about 11hp. Unless you start adding a good amount of mods I wouldn't worry about custom tuning a NISMO.

OP, you don't need a chip, just buy these-

They go into your intake tubes and helps force more air into the combustion chamber by spinning the air. Up to 20 HP increase. And best of all they only cost 10$ on Ebay
