Bought a 300zx a week ago, the owner claimed it is chipped, any way of telling if it is chipped or not?

open the ecu case and look at it. ;)

Where do I find it?

If you get to the ECU some have a sticker on the outer casing, if not you will have to open the ECU lid and see if the Chip has had a socket put on to take after market chips.

Hope this helps bud :D

in passenger footwell.

The Ecu is under the passenger foot well carpet. Lift the carpet, undo the 4 bolts holding the highly technical slap of hardboard and the ecu is on the right hand side, about six inches square and has a blue cable port running along the right hand side.

 

see here

took it apart looks stock to me, never mind is quick enough anyway, I think he had no ideal what he had as he said the turbo bang when its cold and it ends up it is the propshaft bearings, probably thought the turbo timer was the chip? Thanks for the info will have more questions soon you will be sick of me by the end of this week lol

Ok question number 2 the boost gauge in the car goes from -7 to +7 not 14 has stated on this site and also the oil pressure gauge is different kg/cm2 any ideals why?

-14 to +14 is UK spec bud you have an import ;)

Thats cos you have an Imported Zed my good man.

Damn, beaten to it

Cheers, so what should the oil gauge be reading, as it reads 4 6 8?

:rofl::rofl: Helpful as ever Dave........;)

why? :confused:

why?

 

 

Stock boost, temp and oil readings are not the best on Zeds.

TBH unless you plan on playing with the engine, your fine with stock as you only need a rough guide as standard.

i can vouch for that - there is a 500rpm difference between my standard gauge and my RSM :eek: and a couple of PSI difference between my two boost gauges!
