Found these performance chips on ebay for $32. They reckon 42HP gain from a 4.5l patrol.

Anyone tried one of these or are they just a rebadged hyclone? Would the 4.5 chip work on a 4.2l?
NISSAN : MICRA ALMERA NOTE QASHQAI PRIMERA TEANA X-TRAIL NAVARA PATROL MURANO 350Z BLUEBIRD CIMA LAUREL LUCINO MAXIMA PATHFINDER SERENA SKYLINE SUNNY TERRANO !!!


Performance Gains Averaging 12 - 42Hp !!!

Micra 1.2L +12Hp

Almera 1.6L +18Hp

Primera 1.6L +16Hp
Primera 2.0L +20Hp

Teana 2.0L +20Hp
Teana 3.5L +32Hp

X-Trail 2.0L +22Hp
X-Trail 2.5L +27Hp

Patrol 4.5L +42Hp

Murano 3.5L +33Hp

350Z 3.5L +38Hp

Maxima 2.0L +22Hp
Maxima 2.5L +27Hp
Maxima 3.0L +33Hp

Skyline 2.0L +25Hp
Skyline 2.5L +30Hp



If your car not in this list then please email me with details, perhaps We have necessary chip for you !!!

essentially its a resistor, used to trick the ecu into leaning out making more power and use less fuel...its a load of shit and risky too. leaning out the fuel without properly checking ratios and having the timing adjusted to suit is dangerous.

Theres a reason why its soo cheap.

Hmmmmmmm, thought it might be too good to be true. What problems can it cause? What if it was dynotuned after chip fitted?

problem is it is always sending a false reading, so if its tuned once the parameters change out on the road it may not be able to self adjust correctly.


Stay away mate do it right or not at all i reckon.
