site sponsor bellautos does a reprogramable unit, they can post the unit to you and you download the FL2 software, then email it back, the unit then upload the tuned sofeware and you can also reset it back to standard when you take the car into the dealers

I have one of these Powerbox add on units fitted and I'm most impressed with it. There is a vast increase in acceleration which is handy for overtaking, More MPG if you drive sensibly. It took me around 20 -30 mins to install. |

I'm sure if you buy him a bag of chips your old man will let you ![]() On turbo'd vehicles a chip makes a huge difference and exactly as flycop has posted you will see a nice power increase providing a lump of overtaking grunt and when driving it the same way as before you are most likely going to see better fuel consumption figures ![]() A bit closer to home for you there is an Australian homegrown company called Powerchips which I know of from my Audi tuning days. There weren't so many people that I knew using them, but they seemed to be a bit like the UK's Superchips in that they cater for many vehicles and they have a very good website and very quickly return dyno chart info etc upon request. In addition I never heard of any complaints from there customers regarding product or service. What Bellautos offer better though is the possibility for you to install the software and switch the program on and off without leaving your garage. What ever route you go you will definately be happy with the results ![]() |

This gearbox is similar to the XTRAIL gearbox (AISIN made in Japan ) and the nissan XTRAIL automatic is only delivred with à 150 HP engine ,the manual can be have 2 powers: 150 and 173 hp. the torque is higher on the TD4 than the 6 cylinder.

I'm sure we had someone on here a while ago who said that they do, it's standard pratice for dealers to for all major car brands in their country to offer upgrades like these, and warranty them. Can't remember, but I think it might be in Holland Rich |

rmbillington I think one of the Dutch guys said he had a power upgraded version form the dealer, and I think I have said previously many importers and dealers happily chip tune vehicles from new and offer the standard warranty.
