Hi all

Well, I had my 2009 R36 wagon fitted with a new SuperChip ECU upgrade last Thursday night. It was fitted by Peter from SuperChips/BlueFin in NZ. Evidently he comes across the ditch on a monthly basis to do these upgrades across Australia.

He's a very nice guy and the upgrade went just as he said it would.

First impressions are good. I can definitely feel the improvement in low rev torque and the overall pickup is much improved too. I'd say an overall 10% - 15% improvement on acceleration and pick up.

So far, I think its been a worthy use of the $600.00 entry cost...

On the downside, it seems to use more fuel, but Peter says that the upgrade will take 2-4 weeks to "bed" itself in and the economy will improve over this period. So I'm keeping a log book on consumption for 4 weeks and I'll be touching base with him again when he's back in Sydney in July.

I also added the SprintBooster last week too, and all I can say on that is: WOW! What a deceivingly clever little thing that is! As the manufacturer says, it doesn't "add" any power, but it sure does feel like it does! Its a great bit of kit that I'd highly recommend to any R36 owner. And for the price, great value!
