Yup. Early G35 Sedan ecu harness connecters have more in common with the maxima vs the G or Z. Sucks.

 

same thing i found out when i was ready to have the car tuned. we both have Type 1 ECU harness...

 

With something like this I am more into tune and leave alone. I like to keep it safe. Plus my good friend owns UMS tuning and is a unichip tuner. But yes I would rather have the UTEC because it is a better part, also more $$$. Hell I would like to have the HKS stand alone if price was not an issue.

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAH I'm still sooo pissed. I don't even feel like modding the car anymore, I'm that mad. The chip was supposed to unleash my mods, and now I'm stuck! After all that anticipation, I can't do anything. I really don't want to do a TS reflash, because I think it's totally not worth it; it'll cost the same as a Unichip, but you won't have anything to sell when you're done with it, and the reflash is only good for the mods you have... so it's pointless if I want to keep on modding. F\/CK! What should I do?

End of rant.

 

now you know EXACTLY how i felt when i found out this same thing about my car, and why i subsequently parted out back to stock. welcome to the club.

 

What about a split second box or Greddy Emanage?

They are not plug-and-play but will work.

 

I duno what a split seconf box is, and don't know anything about the Greddy.

What about UTEC, is it same concept as Unichip? In the pics, I didn't see it being use with the ECU harness, or maybe they just didn't show the harness, only the chip.

 

Split second is just another tuner company. Their box comes with the Stillen SC, Vortech SC and JWT TT kits. Greddy comes with their TT kit.

I recall the UTEC comes with plugs like the Unichip.

 

Split second box is just a maf interceptor type a/f changer. Similar to a SAFC. Greddy Emanage might be a decent alternative. Features a/f and ign changes and should have the type 1 harness adaptor that we need. But the Emanage is more an user tuner type device vs a upload program file type device. Same with the UTEC.

 

My SS box also does ignition changes. Why on earth would Jim Wolf use one on what in my opinion is the best TT kit for the VQ if it was not capable of some decent tuning? Don't get me wrong, it's far from the best but a good deal and capable of more than you are giving it credit for.

As for the harness for the Greddy, you would have to find an autosport type harness for the type 1 to use it without cutting.

 

exactly. screw it, i'm buying a beemer.

 

LOL

Don't give up so easy!

 

I guess it depends on what ss box you get. Can you explain which model you have and how it's user adjustable? Thanks

And yes, the Greddy utilizes an autosport harness. But it's plug and play nevertheless.

 

$15k "invested" (haha, don't get me started) over the year (2 sets of wheels, aero kit with custom work, 2 exhausts, breather mods up the wazoo, 2 reflashes - go look at my mod list, link in siggy) - my car still put down 215rwhp/215rwtq. and when i decided to buy stillen supercharger from Sukhi (member here) he pulled out of a deal a week before our scheduled swap date. so, screw it.

 

That sucks.

I have no idea how it only put down 215 but I doubt you want to talk about it any more. So if you are selling and moving on, good luck!
