Well considering I'm local to Visconti and he tuned my car originally (and figured out the fix for cruise control on Autos with 4.08 gears - you're welcome) I'm gonna give it a shot.

Ecutech for sale. Very slightly used aka bnib. Final product still under dev. If you have a stock z then maybe you will see 609 whp after tune. If you have cai and stickers you might get timing issues...Throw me an offer.... Lol (j/k)

Well I wouldn't say they forgot entirely...but priority isn't the right word for it either.
They sent me a cable to do some datalogging, which I appreciate but I asked for this MONTHS ago...ignored me then. I have the cable now but their responses have gone back to being slow. They say they're working on the features as always but, I just want my idle problem fixed right now |

I honestly think they are BS, I jumped on this the beginning of the year , I had the cable in the box sitting in my house for WEEKS( 7) and the tuner wouldn't even responded to me, I had a thread on here about him and the company. Glad I went back to UPREV.
Maybe one day they'll have their crap together but till then we only have one choice. Or maybe they wont and they cant delivery what they said they had done better than UPREV( Timing). EH. Sorry Scionide I know we had been talking before too.

And another 3 months have passed since more empty promises were made. Two engineers dedicated to the task, indeed.

When people are talking about their dissatisfaction, can you specify who you're complaining about? There are three involved parties. I don't think Ecutek has ever posted here. It was Visconti and one other vendor blowing all the smoke up our collective asses, right? Visconti disappeared after talking a good game and the other guy was a borderline scammer?

Mine was with really the "other" Guy Dynotronics. Visconti tried to get me to go with him and Ecutck also but I went back to UPREV. Biggest thing I cant understand or will for that matter is the cost difference , UPREV is $650 and Ecutek is like $1100?

Update on my situation. I've been datalogging and getting updates. My idle issue has been resolved mostly, it definitely no longer revs up by itself after going into neutral now. The high cold-start idle is gone now too though I wouldn't really call that one a problem.
As far as issues, my original issue was also with Dynotronics, I later took my car to SpecialtyZ and Sebastian did a good job, but there was a issue with the tune/software. We tried to get Ecutek to help us figure it out but nothing came out of it because they eventually ignored us...Recently I got in contact with Mervyn at Ecutek, whom I believe is the owner? He agreed to have a cable sent to me so I didn't have to keep driving to SpecialityZ to datalog. He's been personally helping me out since then and getting me new ROMs to flash very quickly. Their facebook page did announce they were working on the advanced features a while ago but, I haven't seen anything since then...Last I heard from Mervyn they're still testing things, I'll see if I can get an update from him on the progress.

Here is something interesting concerning my Ecutek Tune performed by Dynotronics.
1. Last week my check engine light came on. I was throwing a P1421 per my OBDII reader. 2. Two weeks prior to this code, my car was running a little rough especially at start up. Normal Cold Start procedure RPM's would go to 1.5K, hover and then gradually come back down. It was going all the way to 2.3K, hover, sound rough and then very, very slowly come back down. Again on cold starts. 3. After engine was warm, I noticed idle RPM's a little higher than the normal .6K idle. My car was idling between .7 and .8K. As anyone would know, this is quite noticeable. 4. After engine was warm, I then noticed the RPM's jump to nearly 1.2K when shifting to Neutral......every time. I would feel the car slightly jerk when placing the car back in Drive. 5. I took my car to the dealership. My car is still under Nissan warranty as I purchased it as "Certified Used". I was a little concerned my warranty would be Void if they detected the Ecutek tune? 6. They didn't say anything one way or the other and confirmed it was in fact throwing a P1421. They then advised an NTB10-149 was issued for ECM update regarding the Cold Start Control. Apparently, this was an issue with both 2009 and 2010 models. 7. They then updated the ECM per Bulletin, cleared codes. Check engine light is now off. There is no question the reflash of the ECM has cleared the Dynotronics tune. Prior to taking the car to the dealership, I contacted Joe at Dynotronics to get his take. He advised this code had nothing to do with the tune. I then contacted Joe after the dealership reflash. He advised to reflash the ECM with the latest file he sent me which was back in July 2014. I have to be honest, given Scionide's experience along with my own, I am a little concerned to do this. I am thinking about ditching the Ecutek, taking my loss like a man, and go with UpRev who is proven. Appreciate your comments.
