I wonder if one could swap out a Maxima ECU in that car. They have the same motors but different outputs. I was thinking that if you could swap in a 2004+ Max ECU you might be able to take advantage of the higher output programming. Provided one free'd up the exhaust first.
I know the guys that dyno'd their 04's were putting down numbers normally associated with 280HP car. It wouldn't be a bad investment if the swap worked. Gaining an extra 40Hp just by trading the ECU ain't bad at all.


*****CAVEAT****** I have no idea if this would work. Just thinking out loud.
