Sweet, put coilovers in it before you go get a cert.

why does it need acert for the gearbox conversion when all the parts are available from factory?? get the proper crossmember and you 'should' be sweet.

you got a pretty good deal. i would never swap an rb20det cef for a windom

A chipped ecu does NOT need a cert

you will only need a cert for the manual conversion if the cross member is modified.....if it it, you should put in a s13 one, way cheaper than getting a cert for it

For turbo cars it does, its in the WoF manual.

don't know if many are aware of this, but in NZ atleast, there are a few conditions on the declining of insurance claims, the biggy, using this one as an example...is that if they are going to decline on the fact that the car was chipped, then the chip has to be a direct cause of the accident. if it wasn't a direct cause, then the claim should still stand... good luck trying to prove anything to an insurance company whose job it is to decline insurance to people like us though.

More often than not, they'll pay out the claim, but then refuse to cover you further as you didn't declare all modifications.

Also, most policies now when you apply ask if you've been refused insurance before.

by **Jebus** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 4:43 pm

Sure its illegal, but in reality, is an insurance inspector going to pull the ECU out of every car, just to check if its been chipped...dont think so???

And in most cases of Nissans they just reprogram the fuel map from the ECU, modify it, burn it to an EPROM and reinstall it back into the ECU.

by **deepsyot** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 6:22 pm

OK sorry I was wrong there, I was not aware of that. I've never had a problem with my car failing a WOF because of no cert for it being chipped, nor have any people I know that have chipped ECU's.
Whos going to check anyway? It's not like you can tell..
Nice trade btw :lol:

Do you know who chipped the ecu? and whats been done to it?

by **EVL20V** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 7:28 pm

so the wof man types into computer. shows up 2L auto, and goes wtf?
yes, s13 crossmember styles way to go

u got a good deal, enjoy the heavy fuel bill :wink:

Depends entirely how you want to look at it. The chip contributes to extra power which in turn can contribute to pretty much anything
