Default Sprint Booster,nissan 350z '02-'07

Hey guys,

Has anyone tried this here...... http://www.sprint-booster.co.uk/

SPRINT BOOSTER,NISSAN 350Z '02-'07 MANUAL/Auto TRANSMISSION.

We are thinking of bringing it in, just want some opinions from those who may have tried it? It increases the speed of the drive by wire throttle body to emulate the old cable style cars. I have put it in and don't want to say anything about it till I here from some others first on my opinion. Let me know if you have tried it before or not. Thanks Steve.

Never heard of it so I did a quick search.

Apparently it improves throttle response when you apply gas. Surprisingly, everyone praises it.

It is new, your right not an updated list.. I can tell you it does exsist as I have it in my own personal car. Is there anyone still driving there Z in the GTA area that would like to sample it and right an opinion on it. I want them to do the install (which is about 5 sec.) and give a true and honest opinin of the product. In exchange I would offer a $50.00 gift certificate or something like that, what do you guys think of the concept?

Forgot to mention, it must be a manual. 5 or 6 speed.

"willyd6869 Seems similar to: http://jdm-option.com/eng/parts/06_12/direct.html "


Yes you are correct, basically exactly what they are saying is exactlly what this does, now look at that mess, and splicing ....

Quote,
"Installation requires tapping into the wiring harness of the ECU. Please be advised that although installation may seem relatively simple, please inquire the BEE*R staff first before anything. "

Where this is attached right in between the ecu wire to the pedal assembley, disconect, plug it in the pedal assembly, plug the ECU cable to the sprint booster, and that's it. Her's a link i found on the Mercedes/Crossfire forum, maybe a little more insight on it. http://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/...ad.php?t=11277

and doing quick math,

Tuesday, December 4, 2007

105,000 Japanese Yen = 949.505 US Dollar , the Sprint Booster would be a third of the price, does that sound like a resonable price considering what it does. Just looking for some research in what people would be willing to pay for a problem they might not even know exsisted.

Sounds expensive to me @ about $300 dollars (195 euro for audi a4 version). I would buy it if priced closer to $150
