It seems to get good reviews and makes sense on how it works. I just dont wanna do anything to the electrical of my car that will hurt it.

thanks

I wouldn't risk any ebay ECU tuner in my car. Check out what guys on maximas forums are saying about it before you buy it at least.

dont even bother with that junk, what it actually does is tricks the computer into changing the shift points usually.

Just plain junk, cause if they did work people would be all over them like flys on Sh _ _

if you have to ask if it seems legit....it probably isn't...motors aren't chipped they are programmed.... This will just send an incorrect signal to your ecu and probably end up with the check engine light on all the time....

+1.... if you want a Nissan sedan to mod, either get a Sentra SE-R or an 05-06 Altima SE-R w/ the 6 speed.

Gonna have to disagree here. They are actually pretty quick cars.. They have the VQ35DE engine which is the same base engine as the 350z. With a few mods they are fast.

And im not looking to really mod it out. Just make it look nice, have a nice system and give it some grunt.
