Cassette that reprograms computer?

I heard through the grape vine that there is a special cassette tape that reprograms certain things about the car. For example: You have a cassette that is made to take the governer off, you pop it in and play it and *poof* governer is gone. I don't know if there is any truth to this at all. If the cassette exists what exactly does it do, where do you get it and what things can be reprogrammed?

Highly unlikely (?)

This would only be possible if the cassette deck was somehow interfaced with the diagnostic system on the car. While not impossible, I would think it highly unlikely, because, among other reasons, it would be redundant with other means of changing the car's performance, and would therefore add unecessarily to the cost.

I have a special cassette for my max and it was only 10 bucks.

I got it from walmart and it connects to my ipod, it lets me here songs that only my ipod can hear. Its crazy.

Although it may not be that far fetched cause u can run diagnostic checks on our cars through the radio

The cassette exists, I've used it! I can send it over to you free of charge if you're interested but only if you buy a bridge I also have for sale. Trust me, it's a steal of a deal... you'll regret it if you don't get in on this!

just email me the file so i can burn it... oh wait, cassette... right, sorry. So that's why my 6th gen still has a tape deck!!! But I'm telling you, I have had heard that it doesn't add power, it only frees up some of the lost power ... basically you need the NISMO hood banner first. So PM me for prices.

I think I saw this on E-bay. Drop in the cassette and the MAF will never blow again. (It was a special max/I30 issue)

man all you guys are wrong. you need to stick the cassette next to the canooter valve and it'll raise the rev limiter and add a new vtec point.

This reminds me of other "urban myths", like the one that says the actor that played Paul on "The Wonder Years" is really Marilyn Manson.

No, really, I think this may stem from someone who found out about how some home computers back in the 1980's were programmed by a cassette type and player hooked into the computer. If you listen to one of the tapes like that it is very interesting sounding. Maybe they thought that this was how people must have modified the ECU back in the day, maybe...

He's exaggerating. Being a FWD vehicle, most of the added HP form a rear NISMO plate only ends up being 5-8 HP once it makes it to the Drive Wheels.

Now the hood banner, that's right on top of the powerhouse. Like I said, 35 crank. Haven't dynoed it yet to get an exact whp, yet.

Wow, this gives me hope. What if I get TWO Nismo banners and a GT-R emblem and put Nismo plate in front, how many horses is that?

How long will this thread keep going?????

NO, because your $80k car still tops out at 140 without the two 20 pound chrome NAWZ bottles.
