Need your opinion fellas...

K guys what do you say? Do you think these chips will work on our car? The website says they will.

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Nope... the 280zx ecu is not reprogrammable or upgradable by itself.

Actually, it can be plugged into your car and, if installed correctly, will richen your air/fuel mixture, but unless you've done a bunch of other upgrades on you're car all it's gonna do is kill your fuel mileage.

I took a look at that website. Looks like a fancy word for SCAM to me.

Z31 ECU swap.

Do they have set prices for parts or do you have to ask each time?
I need some 1988-89 parts. non turbo is fine.

I usually have to ask but they bounce between the two. I might be able to find something for you. What do you need?

The fuel injection wiring harness for 1988-89 only.

Just the wires and all plugs. I do not need MAS or ECU
