I was just wondering if my car has been chipped, as ive just blown off a GTO Twin Turbo, and mine is non-turbo!!! Is there an easy way to check? Ive had some mods done, lightened flywheel, cut box etc but was just enquiring! Thanks for any help guys

.......wondered what that smell was!!

 

 

 

How childish of me. :p

 

Have you looked at the ECU? Spoken to the previous owner?

 

Obviously chipping an N/A is not nearly as beneficial as the same to a TT.

You got a straight cut box?

 

Where you get that from?

 

 

Also you sure it was a TT GTO? Cos they do them in NA too.

Ive only had the car 5 weeks, its a jap import but some guy in birmingham had it before me and sold it to the garage i got it from. When i got it, the geezer said " its got lightened flywheel" i have reciepts for that " and a cut box - which reduces weight" - i have no reciepts for that and personally i dont really know what it means. I presume it means its had all the extra bits that arent needed - cut off?!?

 

Quite sure it was a TT that i pumped because on the rear quater panel it said Twin Turbo ! He was ahead of me until we hit 120mph then i caught him up and " blew him off"ooh eerr

 

I havent had a look at the ECU, and i wouldnt really know th difference with what the stock ecu looked like or an uprated one!

Chopp, the GT must have been NA with a TT badge someone had stuck on !

Unless your Z can do 60 in 5 secs ?

Does your gearbox make a whinning noise when you drive? Like a Touring Car?

I doubt it Stu - his box has had all the bits removed that aren't necessary and when Nissan fitted the whining part, it definitely wasn't necessary.

Mine does..........oh, hang on a minute, that could be the missus.:eek: :D

DAMN,DAMN,DAMN,DAMN

 

I know that my car can't do 0-60 in 5 secs so it must hae been N/A. Next time i see the bloke i will ask him. He lives aout 5 mins from my house so isee him often . My gearbox doesnt make any whinning noises really,but compared to a norm zx box its very small (short). So maybe its a short throw or someting?! Thanks for your help, even if it has broken my heart!

 

Its not all about speed - the ZX looks a million times better than the 300GT anyway!

Or he hit the limiter

if he was in a ferrari f40 and he backed off at 120 would you have blown a f40 ?

 

i doubt he was racing
