Nissan Power Pup Bullydog - First Impressions

[georgeuncc77]

Well, I had no way of going anywhere to get a battery because no one was around to help me. As far as the ECU, I don't think it did a partial download because it froze right at 0%. I just wanted it to go to Infiniti so that they can check the battery and the alternator or starter, just in case.
Speaking of batteries though, I think Infiniti charges something crazy like $200+ for a new one....do you or any one know of a good powerful battery that will work well with this car?
Also, I think I will invest in a portable car battery charger.

Thanks

Batteries are really easy to install, I you had AAA you should have called them instread of Infiniti roadside( If thats who you called).. For a battery, Your in NC, I don't know if you have a Lappens, Autozone, or Advanced Auto, But any part store will do.. The Battery should cost about $110 without a core. But they may not install it at the dealer, Due to it being an outside part..

I've had good luck with Interstates lasting up to 10 years. That is far better than anything else I have used over the last 42 years.

Ok everyone so I finally got the BullyDog working...turns out it was a battery issue so Sorry for Blaming the BD.
The issue or concern I face now is that I tuned the car w/the custom tune BD setup on the device for a Premium Tune.
I changed the rev Limiter to 8000rpm, left the top speed to factory cuz I don't plan on going over 130mph but I honestly did not feel any difference after this tune up. From other G35 owners that have ran the BD, they rave about the big difference you feel. I also noticed that it did not give me an option to modify the WOT. The only change I do see is with my rpm's hitting 8000, which is cool.
Anyone have any ideas why this may be or do I need to change my tune to really feel the PUNCH??

Thanks

Try stock tune with +2 timing on 93 octane fuel. I dont have the BD, but from people's dyno's it seems this is the ticket for a little more power.

Anyone who might read through this and be interested in a Scangauge-

I've found them on eBay for 160 to 170 new, but Amazone has a really great price right now for $140 with free standard shipping. That seems like a great price to me, and I bought one.

The guy who posted before me doesn't seem too motivated to sell his, he never got back to me..

The two BullyDog threads are now merged

this really sucks.... not interested in purchasing something for a 0 gain... never going to need to go past the speed limiter... 18hp with UpRev is a possibility... Cobb isn't proving to be better? Thought I read an 18hp improvement with a protuned Cobb setup.
