VIPER Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 Where can I buy a SE chip ? Is it only avalable from Silvia Engineering ? Do they have an e-mail ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51x Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 If it's any help, SE's phone number is: 01621 858856 Their chip should /only/ be available from them. If you get it from anywhere else it's a pirate copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51x Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Yeah, or second hand (d'oh!). Really, I just meant SE don't use other people to distribute their stuff, so if someone's advertising it then they're taking the p*ss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIPER Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 Ok thanks guys. Ps. can someone over there tell them at SE that the internet has been invented ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyEd Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 The internet rejected them! LOL :D (They did have a web site, and about 18 months ago, but it disappeared one day. They kept saying, "Ooo we're designing a new one", but it never appeared.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC 1 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I will be selling my original SE chip soon,as PeterR will be doing me another one for Nismo 555s;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eisegerwind Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Really, I just meant SE don't use other people to distribute their stuff, so if someone's advertising it then they're taking the p*ss. Methinks it's SE that are taking the piss charging £££'s for an 'off the shelf' chip that costs about £5 and a slightly modded code. The only justification for charging big bucks for a modded chip would be if the chip was custom mapped to your car on a rolling road. A 'pirate' copy will do the sme job as an SE copy, in the case of copying an E-prom as used in the 300ZX, a copy is a copy is a copy!

Emmm Peter, £125 is not bad to say that Peter did all the maps himself check out how much JWT charge for one that gives less power!:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eisegerwind Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Fair point , obviously you are paying for the development costs of the maps so it's reasonable to charge a decent price to cover costs and make a profit. Problem is that once the chips are in the public domain they are very easy to copy for next to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC 1 Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Yea I know you can copy them for under £4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a copy and paid £10 including chip, code copy and postage. There are always people out there trying to make a few bob, fair enough, but £340 is disgusting IMO. :( :mad: :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
