Very informative. A shame you didnt get the exhaust only dyno run.... Either way, 60kw gain is outstanding. Ive watched all of the dynomotive YT videos on Y62s also. This was really well presented and i love your enthusiasm. Good work upgrading from a 200, i did exactly the same. So far only have the exhaust (with headers) but no tune.
@Australian 4x4 Adventures haha its most likely going to now be the rear bar left side corner now then 😅 but looks good and now you need to vs the god father dash again in a battle. I have sold my 62 as was getting over the interior and no real fix to make it modern that works with no bugs so i have now got a next gen raptor hahah
nice!! - ive still got my 200 with G500 turbos etc and goes well, but have just got a play car TB48 Patrol chopped into a ute - i do like a big petrol !!
Steve, enjoyed the ep, especially cause we are looking at a Y62 in the near future, but I do have an serious old mans question for ya. as much as all these modfs are nice to have. How do they all affect the cars Warrenty? Will the standard Nissan warrenty still be in force? Looking forward to more and also real world driving details.
Your warranty is gone and don’t believe other wise . Don’t believe anyone that is selling you something they have a vested interest. Do your own research Nissan will wipe you instantly. I know people that have been rejected respray jobs due to bigger tyres . If all things don’t effect warranty ? Why do people put them back to stock form for servicing and warranty claims . Steve is seriously mislead if he thinks Nissan or any chip company will support him if it turns to shit. 35s will void your warranty. The list goes on. Do it at your own demise
Warranty is 100% gone now on anything to do with the driveline engine, knowing first hand how crap Nissan warranty is I hope Steve has no issues moving forward.
I spoke with my Nissan dealer ( Waverly Nissan ) before doing any mods. They told me they are fine with having Unichip installed and it doesn’t effect anything on their end. Having said that it does become a grey area if something does go wrong with the engine / gearbox. Unichip claim to warrant that stuff themself if something was to go wrong. But I’ve never had to use that service in either the 200 or y62. As far as the rest of the peanut galley that’s commented so far, I’d suggest they are upset with their particular dealer who have knocked back claims on them. I suggest making sure your dealer is fine with mods and even try to get that in writing if possible.
@@Australian4x4Adventures Love your vids man, so I don't want to come across as a rude fucker. But, the exhaust won't add any power, you're lucky to get 3-5kw The tune might net you 15kw There just isn't anything hidden away, except some ignition timing massaging and fuel trim cleaning. Is there a difference, yeah, but it's not 60kw Don't let them suck you into all the bullshit
Great vid Steve 👍🍻 , personally I don’t give a stuff what you get for free etc etc as I’m not that pedantic and pussy ass , I’m here for the builds and the content including new products available in the 4x4 market irrelevant of makes and models so just keep ‘em coming mate . Kim.
Haha. Thanks mate. Appreciate the support. I’m sure you’ve watched a few of my vids and know full well I’m never afraid to call it what it is. Hahaha. Thanks for watching
Look i'm into cars ive helped build and run an 8 sec drag car. There's no way you convince me your gaining 64kw or a 39% power increase on a stock NA motor with just an exhaust. By that math your 298kw motor just made 413kw NA with just and exhaust and tune.
@@darrindouglas1 Obviously logic isnt your strong point . What you just magically unlock 60kw?? Like somehow its trapped between the engine and wheels?
@@darrindouglas1 well obviously I understand how percentage work and you don't. Somehow you seem to think there's no relationship between the engine and the wheels.
So much information that you mention. But things you left out as usual. What did you PAY for it ? or I assume another sponsored product ? Plus you should be honest and let you viewers know that any warranty you once had has now gone and that's transmission and motor to say the least. Maybe don't leave things out but hey its you tube I couldn't expect anyone to be honest its all about the views and the money (sponsors) that you get free stuff and plug in return. Its a shame you didn't start out like this
Yes I got it for free. Never tried to hide that fact. I thought that everyone knew I have been sponsored by Unichip for years and they support my channel for the free content you just watched. If you’ve watched any of my reviews before you’d know full well I don’t care if it’s free or not, it doesn’t change what I think and say. I’ve got plenty of company’s that won’t work with me because of my honesty towards products ( free or not ). I’m sorry you feel I was trying to trick you but it’s definitely not the case.
@@Australian4x4Adventures just be up front and say it’s a freebie in the video and also you are quick to say how good it is with power gains and fuel saving and I might add I don’t believe it’s saves any fuel . But you should also add about your warranty is gone and you know that you just don’t mention any negatives to the chip . Honesty goes both ways not just all the good points . You expect people to spend there hard earned money on your sponsors than in return tell them all the good and bad points . No one on you tube is honest anymore it’s all business this crap doing what I love is rubbish it’s a business not a passion
Okay okay. A few points. Clearly you’ve got a bit of a chip on your shoulder about this subject. 1st. Warranty with Nissan is NOT gone once you fit a Unichip. I asked this directly to Nissan Australia. Obviously the caveat with that is, if it’s directly caused by the Unichip that’s a different story. Eg if it’s proven you’ve done a bore due to too much fuel that’s on Unichip. Who also offer a drive train warranty with their product. Yes I understand the position shit fight that could turn into. But technically that’s the way it should work. 2. Mentioning good vs bad points. What are the bad points? You seem to think there are some. More power, better fuel ( which we will touch on soon ) and lean the motor out so it’s not so rich from factory. But please do tell me what the bad points may be? 3. Fuel. You’re basically calling me a liar. I record all of my fuel in an app with the data stored forever. So I have record of the fuel usage pre tune and post tune and those are the figures I got. There’s no fudging of numbers at all. It’s all in black and white. I done the exact same thing with my 200 series. I have 5 years of fuel records on hand if I need them. RUclips is very much a real place and lots of ppl are 100% honest on it. Just because you choose not to believe them doesn’t make it a lie.
@@Australian4x4Adventures ok bad points . Warranty is gone and you are foolish if you think Nissan or any chip company will fix or repair your engine or transmission surely your not that gullible? Running 35s will lose your warranty also . Take Nissan on and see how you go . You’ll come out a loser. Fuel economy your right I don’t believe you as like I said you are a paid sponsor of course you get heaps more power with less fuel ⛽️ like yeah right that’s how it works. Next you’ll tell a Super charger will save fuel . If a stock y62 doesn’t have another power stock you got the wrong car but hey a stock car won’t get Views now will It ??? And you know that . I challenge you to show me in writing where Nissan or the chip company will honour your warranty for engine and transmission replacement or repair ? Be honest and tell your viewers that in the video you and I know you want as that won’t sell the product. Good luck and I hope you don’t have issues
You tuning blokes that say every single motor needs it own tune are not completely accurate. It’s a marketing ploy to get people through the door. Your talking 5-7 horsepower difference between one engine to the next. Unless your trying to win a tuning comp it’s simply not true that every motor needs its own tune. Do you think Nissan puts a different tune in every motor they make? NO end of story. It the tuning is done on a couple of engines to collect data to make tunes they they can be flashed in multiple cars.
Yep you are 100% correct. There are plenty of place ( and dynomotive do it too ) that just sell a full plug and play unit with generic tune in it. But doing a custom tune is still a better tune then a generic one so I’m also correct.
For some ppl that’s absolutely correct. But since adding a heap of weight and bigger tyres to the car plus towing a 2.8t caravan. It needed some extra pep in its step.
Thanks for sharing the upgrades mate! Dang, it’s like watching the LC200 build years ago!
Yes the sound of a V8 and the raw power, always gives me a woody🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha. There’s an image I don’t need in my head 😂

Dynomotive said they’ve done it before and the exhaust gave the car about 6-7kw more by itself.
The rest is all in the tune.
@@Australian4x4Adventuresexhaust is still compulsory. Sound alone ..
Thanks for sharing and being 100% transparent and honest. Well done 🏆
That exhaust is the first thing to get hit big fella hahah
They’ve since changed the muffler setup so it since a fair bit higher.
@@Australian4x4Adventures I was thinking it looked different in the after vids.
@Australian 4x4 Adventures haha its most likely going to now be the rear bar left side corner now then 😅 but looks good and now you need to vs the god father dash again in a battle. I have sold my 62 as was getting over the interior and no real fix to make it modern that works with no bugs so i have now got a next gen raptor hahah
You've just added more fuel to the fire for when I sell my 76, no more Toyota. Y62 or maybe Ineos. Thanks for the content Steve. Cheers
Hahaha. Definitely converted a few so far 😂. When ya want a good deal on one let me know and I can put you in touch with the right ppl
@@Australian4x4Adventures Kind of you Steve, appreciate it. Stay tuned. Cheers

Love it and I'll be asking for that for my cruiser
It’s a thing 😂
Well im trying to make it a thing 😂

Awesome stuff man 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks mate.
I enjoy all of your content
Thanks mate.
@@Australian4x4Adventures I find what you do very helpful and you're humor hilarious
Loving the build vids Stevo. What are you doing with the 12 volt and rear drawer setup brother?
Thanks mate. Actually currently working on the 12v and rear drawer setup.
Built my own drawers again, something super cool this time.
nice!! - ive still got my 200 with G500 turbos etc and goes well, but have just got a play car TB48 Patrol chopped into a ute - i do like a big petrol !!
Hey Steve, regarding the throttle being jerky offroad. Chuck the car in snow mode, its much better to drive.
I generally use rock mode which helps as well
How good is that old school commodore next to your patrol tho ahahah
Hahaha. Sweet ride hey
Harrop blower kit please! Can you do a run down on the exhaust. Ie show it, sizes of pipes etc. Did you fit extractors?
I’d love a blowie. I mean blower 😂. That whine sound would just finish me off everyday I think.
@@Australian4x4Adventures keep the change ya filthy animal 🤙
Tail pipe hanging really low, exhaust system yes BUT extractors as well ?
Tail pipe sits flush with the rear bar so it’s sits high enough.
Nah I don’t want extractors
How is it on fuel compared to the 200? At the pump $$$ wise?
About 2lt more per 100 then my 200. But I’m also running 35s where the 200 only ran 33s.
So the whole diesel petrol debate is finally put to bed then, unless you own a smaller diesel ute of course
I’m doing a video on a 200 to 62 owner soon.
So the rest of the 200 guys can join me 😂
🤣🤣 gold

Rock mode makes it not jerky.
Yeah it does.
I’ve just always liked more of a linear throttle control rather then a spike curve
Why is the exhaust so low that’s the first thing to go
It’s been changed. It was a prototype at the time. It now sits a lot higher
Seems good, but there is no way there is 60kw hidden away in a tune with an n/a v8.
These inflated dyno numbers need to be put under control
Tune AND exhaust.

20 -30 Kw gain at the wheels would be a blessing
