Sorry, about that I couldn't wait any longer and I didn't see too much movement on the Feeler thread. I still got a great buy from Aaron so differently call him. Thanks too Ed for being the leader on this.

No worries bro...did u install it yet??
Let me know your thoughts...will be ordering mine from Aaron this week or next
 
I keep resisting the urge to just drive out to Unichip and ask all my questions at once, but I'm sort of afraid I'll impulsively buy one before I'm ready. :laugh: It's like 20min from my house...

Hahaa...do it tchuck!! What are u waiting for?
 
After further driving, the UniChip is amazing.

Noticeable difference throughout the RPMs, and much less hesitation to launch.

As with any car, a pre-set map won't be perfect, but this is pretty close. From standstill to flooring it and going through all the gears, near the high end I am running a little rich from the smell of the exhaust. Or at least that is what I think.

A little tweaking of the air/fuel ratios and I am done and done.

Handy_Andy, I am 100% in for your custom tuning and tools. Like I said before, I have no use for the tools afterwards, so as a bonus they are yours to keep=)

Anyone else that goes in should agree to the same, since we all can't keep one tool.
 
Ed, I got your message. Driving with the recent maps from the 350Z for the last few days, I'm impress what a difference the maps made in comparison with the original maps that the chip came with. I will get with Aaron to order the additional tools to log the data that he needed to build a custom map for us.
 
I need to get scanner and a wideband o2 sensor from them. The scanner plug into the OBDII port then into a laptop with their software to do the data logging.
 
That's actually a nice hat. Man, you even got freebies? I set up the deal and get hosed=)
 
Nice hat. So when are you going to put it on? I mean the chip :laugh:

Andy, any issues w/ the 350Z maps? So you are still going to have Aaron do a custom tune for you? You think it will make that much a difference??

Yes, maybe not much more hp/torque wise, but make the car run that much better -- yes.

Air/fuel ratio is critical for maximum efficiency among others.
 
No issue with the 350Z maps. Loving them. Yup I wanted to have Aaron to do a custom map. I need to purchase additional tools to log the data he needed though. I do think a custom map will bring out some more power. Just going from the original map to the 350Z map, I do notice a significant difference already.
 
Ed...got it. I was just wondering if it was absolutley necessary w/ the UniChip since
it already has maps pre-loaded.

So are you guys chipping in for tools? I remember Aaron telling me they send you a kit so they can remote in to your car and tune it and then you send it back once finished?
 
So far myself and Andy are in for sure. I think Chris is.

It's not absolutely necessary at all, but every stock car is a little different, and throw in everyone having a different intake, exhaust, etc...

You will run 100% fine without a custom tune, the pre-loaded maps work great. I was surprised they had a 2003 FX45.

Take baby steps, get the UniChip first, then think about custom tuning it.
