Nissan did it and charged it back to Kauffman. We are going to deal with them later.

Honestly, even a canned tune is worth it for the throttle response and other basics in itself, at least in my opinion.
Good info, thanks. Probably leaving the NISMO stock otherwise so basically a Z with an exhaust. The canned tune should be fine, and I am not really looking for a lot more power right now... Just that throttle response.

Also good info. That is the one other thing that I think is a must-do for my usage. I had a car with a nice Torsen diff and while the VLSD in the Sport/NISMO is nice it's not like a real diff, and eventually once you cook it a few times really well, it becomes an open diff anyway.
