I'm in the process of buying the track model, and I'm debating over the 2003,2004,2005 model. can someone please tell me the difference. And what performnces chip should I get for it?

 

wrong forum
and 2005
they have revup without the added weight of the 06

 

And let's do a search for that "performance chip" question. You'll save yourself some flames...

 

Get the DPS chip, heard it works wonders!

 

Plus 05's have the LED's and full HID's, right? It will be more distinct than the frist 2 years. Go with 05 and above becaue the revup motor. You'll happeir if you start getting ***** deep into building. Not say 03-04's were bad, I my self have an 04.5 ET. But I did that trim for a reason, Fully building the car. So I dont want to waste the extra cash on something Im gonna gut or replace.

 

Come on man, the 03's and up have the HID's except the base model! 06's and above have the LED's!

 

See I ignore all sorts of crap, Im sofa king we tod ed when it comes to most other models exterior features. Thats why Im never realy in this forume. I thought they went full HID instead of the projector + HID high beam in 05. but again Im sofa king.

EDIT: See Im so retarded I did not even see this was in the wrong forum until after this post. I just clicked on it on the main screen. Der de Deerrrrrr! I'll shut up and color now.

 

The JDM chip of course.

 

Man those JDM ones are crap get the one that just came out last month. The P0-T8O. That chip is awsome but requires a little more oil to get it to where you like it.

 

Welcome, don't mind the flames and foolish answers, this is the best forum for "Zs", so don't get put off.

Yes, the 2005, because of the Rev-Up. Also the HIDs were upgraded. As far as a performance chip. There are none that I'm aware of. You'll need to pull the ECU and have it reprogrammed. Techno-Square in LA, did mine. I pulled it, and sent it off to them, first describing my mods to them. If you can find an '06, Nissan upgraded the wheel to 18" front and 19" back with wider widths. IMO, it's worth thinking about.

Also, you may want to get used to using the search function.

'03's had lots of problems...trannys, tire feather/wheel aligment issues, Nav cubby door breaking...just working out all the kinks of a new car.

early '04 is similar to '03, but with some of the kinks fixed

'04.5 changed to wideband O2 sensors (not much of a difference ~ affects stuff if you install test pipes)

'05 Rev-up available on certain models, lights changed.


ECU mods:
-Altered Atmosphere and TS can both do reflahses: you either have to drive to their shop or ship your ECU to them, and they'll change your ECU to work better with your modifications

-piggyback ECUs ~ most popular is Utec...there's lots of other choices out there, but all require you to install a secondary ECU and then tune it.

 

last time i checked, the revup motor has more hp but less tq and FI applications don't work as well with the revup motors as they do with the 287 motors - but this is the last time i checked so correct me if im wrong

 

I thought the REVUPS made more power with less boost? Exhaust cam phasing as well as cam profiles and plenum changes?

 

They have stronger internals from the factory and stock vs. stock they pull a little ahead of the 287 in top end, but from what i hear and see, they give a lot of problems going FI

 

You are sooooo wrong!

 

Also 05s have same lighting as 03 and 04. Im absolutly sure it was 2006 when they changed the lighting. Also please ignor all the moron on this forum that do out of there way to post stupid sh*t to make fun of others.

 

maybe i am

 

I would go with the 2005 with the Rev-Up if thats what your limiting yourself too.

 

Agree, I'm almost certain it was the '06 that first received the Bi-xenon HIDs and LED rear tails.

FWIW, I also like the newer '06 wheels over the earlier Track wheels. I put a set of the newer 18/19 inch Rays from an '06 on my '03 and think it really helped it out....http://350zos.com/Gallery/daequitz
