Nissan 370Z Forum  

So just ordered my Stillen SC

Doesn't it still come with a engine warranty if you pay extra for it?

Its not worth it, You can get it but the second you retune the car it voids the warranty. I talked in lengths with them about this when I bought mine, I wasn't going to run their tune( made 42 more WHP than bolted) I was even going to bring it to a Stillen referred shop to get a retune. They said NOPE. You retune the kit you have no warranty. Owell. So I didn't get it, Trust me tho the kit is good it will make the advertised power( On a custom tune not theirs). I had one loved it !! I swap somethings and made very very good power on it -457WHP- but my dealer sucked and botched the fuel pump install and engine went on a vacation, Sold it all, and want it back now, I will have a Stillen kit again.

How would they know you retuned. If the motor gives you issues, reflash it back to their map.

I thought about that , But I'm sure there's a way for them to see the flashes on the ECU, IE how many times or something, or everyone would do that. Maybe their flash is locked and can only be loaded once or some other BS the dealer flashed it into my car when they were done. Its just an a risk I did want to try. I don't think it would have made a difference either way with mine. They would have found out some how that it wasn't their tune.
