M13KYF Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Thats just the shift light that you can set using those lights, not the actual rev limiter. +1 I'd take your Z into a Nissan Dealership or a independent specialist and get them to see what error codes are being chucked up. Something isn't right. Advance Motorsport or TDI ar 2 you could try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roastbeef78 Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Are there any independent specialists in the Leeds area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 maybe RS Tuning might be able to help. They are round the back of Volvo in holbeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin W Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yes, all it changes is the little light on the dash. You didnt think Nissan would give you access to the rev limiter did you? And you always have and always will be limited NOt necessarily Chris - checkout dastek.co.uk/ dastek.co.za My piggyback Unichip features Variable valve timing adjustment Rev limit adjustment Boost limit & level adjustment Dual maps for use with different fuel grades & types Water Injection Nitrous oxide progressive injection Bigger/supplementary injector handling Variable induction control Launch control for turbo vehicles Full throttle gear changes Road speed limiter removal Speedo conversion for imports Shift light Idle speed stabilisation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yes, but your tuner set a rev limit still. If he didnt, dont come crying to me when you blow your engine up As I said, you will always be limited, didnt say you couldnt move the limit. There will always be a safe limit to how much the engine can rev no matter what you do to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will always be a safe limit to how much the engine can rev no matter what you do to it In reality the torque curve falls off and thats what detemines my shift points. I didn't realise these come in £395 +vat! not bad!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Just dont tell any Evo drivers you have a unichip on an FI car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin W Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Just dont tell any Evo drivers you have a unichip on an FI car Well - it works mate. Its been on a year and never a CEL! and I've seen conversations which have taken that long with people umming and ahhing about maybe getting other ECU's done. (at over twice that cost) I 'm sure it world work on an NA too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 On its definately more than enough for NA. I assume you did your research when going FI and chose the engine managemant appropriately. Just I nearly got lynched when I mentioned tuning my Zed with one to the MLR chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the 180 odd bits which make up the kit. The cost of the alternatives from PE made it a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roastbeef78 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 The car has just been into the main dealer for a free 15 minute check over, suprise suprise they found the problem, just as I have, but not the cause. The biggest suprise is that they want £530 to just find the cause of the problem not including any additional parts or labour! How can they sleep at night?!! Needless to say, I am not paying that. Going to see if RS Tuning can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roastbeef78 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Ouch, very frosty reception from Amy at Nissan Leeds because I didn't want to fork out a silly amount of money for them to pull the engine apart!! Almost got ushered out of the place. Dealers suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Typical dealer Glad to hear you had the sense to say no. They'd just end up throwing parts at it until it started working again Hope someone on here has some ideas for you and get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
