Be Careful with UpRev in Mass

ANMVQ

The actual fact is this whole thread should closed, Cause it's BS, I HAD my car tested with the UPREV flash and I passed, The facts have holes in them"All readiness codes need to be turned on". NO kidding really, Try unplugging you battery reset your ECU then go drive to an inspection station and see if you pass, Go have a bad O2 sensor changed , Light reset, Go to a station for inspection and see if you pass, NOPE, IT will fail for Readiness codes, Just cause someone flashed a ECU( RESET IT) the took it right away to get a sticker and failed means what,, THEY DID NOT drive it enough for the ECU to run through all its tests.. Something tells me someone doesnt want to use UPREV for another reason? HMMM wonder what it could be,, Maybe tuner?

WOW, the internet can really give people the opportunity to play A**hole from behind a key board and say all kinds of crap they would Never say to a persons face. You dont know me or anything about me. I WANT to get my car tuned but when the IN state dealer tells me Im going to have a problem when I go to get it inspected that really makes me want to jump that the chance to do it. There are NO options less then 90 miles from me so running back to them every 12 months for inspections is NOT and option. It was documented there was a problem with the Mitsu-EVO in this state so I would believe the dealer is NOT making this up. Save your hidden agenda theory crap already.

I will say that Alex and Dent Sport is "THE" race shop in MA and one of the top shops in all of NE. I hold what he says with the highest regard, so if he says there is a problem then there is obviously a problem. UpRev should be working with them as a team to solve the problem for the benefit of the "customers" rather than coming on here and bashing the dealers. Alex builds race cars and drives race cars, but street cars are also a huge part of their regular business hence why is throwing up the red flag. UpRev needs to check it's ego (and attitude) for a minute and figure this out.

Mostly u,, LOL

My opinion about this whole this was from experience. I have UPREV, I got a sticker, I have been in the car business for a LONG time, 20+ years. Just something about the "Facts" don't add up read them yourself "Again" and if you cant see the holes, then you should be posting this, and carrying it ON, Here's a question have "YOU" Contacted UPREV and asked them? Have you contacted GTM and asked them, Hell Vince even posted in here" ONCE" ( Why you think only once), Have you tried reaching out to him,. Sounds like no.. I know neither one of them live in MA, But I'm sure they could shed some light on things for you,,, An just IMO you should be going through Kaizen anyway.


And to Seymore post, He's 100% nobody acted you or personal said anything and you challenging people so say things "Face to Face" REALLY?? See that's why he said you sound like a young "KID", Just because someone you think you can trust told you something and other people( Most of the people in this thread) Have a different opinion doesnt mean they are attacking you,

I had no problem getting a sticker last year either but that doesn't mean anything since MA DOT is constantly updating their software.

Also no need to be a Kaizen fanboi just because that's where you happened to go. You have no personal experience with Dent Sport so why say that? You're acting rather immaturely for someone that has been "in the biz" for 20 years.

I got my sticker this year, 4 months ago. Still not to say nothing has changed but with this being the first anyone is hearing about his just makes it a little???

Don't assume I have "NO" Experiene with DSG, I knew those guys before they where even DSG, They Did ALOT of work for me with my EVO8, I even helped them with their S20 swap into their BMW( Used my EVO's stock Front mount) I was the FIRST perspn to run Bill's Custom Air intake for the EVO's.


Alex and Bill are both very good guys, I have had no issues with them at all. I wnet to Kaizen for other reasons, But IMO is just that IMO.. An Stating my oppion on something is acting immature.

I would like to add to this I have uprev, LTH and a sticker in MA.

Now it sounds like what is being stated is that if you run a custom (forced induction) set up and disable certain sensors to shut off reoccurring CELs then MA will fail you. I have no idea if that's true as I have no CELs or codes/systems disabled on in my car currently. I would guess that this makes sense, if MA now has a way to determine if certain systems were disabled to make it look like you have no CEL/systems not ready, they wouldn't pass you.

However, I don't think this situation applies to the majority of people who would be flashing uprev on a 370z as they would not need to disable any codes/systems to have the CEL off. And also if you ran a big custom set up why would you care? I see tons of cars with the R sticker at car shows, figured it was a badge of honor

Fair enough. It's not the first that is being heard of it actually, just first time being report for Nissan, being happening with Evo's for a while. Evo's were getting flagged for having European ROM ID's, since they were flashing with downloaded and shared ROM's. Uprev should keep the same ROM ID so I don't think that's the problem here.
