Won't cause problems now, but come the 100,000km mark and you may find your engine is very tired/worn, turbo has plenty of play in the shaft and the car isn't as smooth or making as much power.

yah good point on that. when i drive i always have the MFA set to show the oil temp. But as soon as it hits 80 degrees its game on!

hehehe.

Nothing too serious - But I thought I may as well take advantage of what is such a pain in the ass.



Hint: Frontbar, rearbar, rest of exhaust, nicer wheels. I would have liked to have gotten my hands on some sideskirts but haven't come across anything i've liked - So the car will look like a 4wd from the side for a little while.

At least if the tune is switchable using a dongle, such as the REVO SPS, you can take the dongle with you

Or with APR - you lock it with the security PIN code (optional) and no one can ever get into it (or 10 to the power of 4 = 10,000) by the time they attempted that the car would be up for vintage rego! - and no excuse for forgeting your dongle device or losing it!

How does one set the security pin?

The 2nd hand pog i picked up had APR from dealer with no info, they guy i got it off had no idea it could be turned off. (I worked that out from website but didn't know u can set the pin)

Its optional, but you can add it at any time on top of your software:

I was at the VW dealer the other day which has a nissan dealership directly across from it. While I was waiting for VW to open, a Nissan mechanic comes out, starts up a maxima and revs the absolute crap out of it for 5 mins, turns it off and walks away.

Dealers abuse the crap out of cars.
