EcuTek is proud to announce the release of ProECU Tuning Tools for the Nissan 370Z

This thread was started a year and a half ago. Still just vaporware. I'm not sure how this site ranks among 370Z-related sites as far as size and "importance" but

This thread was started a year and a half ago. Still just vaporware. I'm not sure how this site ranks among 370Z-related sites as far as size and "importance" but there appears to be quite a few active members that are interested in their product and would actually buy it if it existed. No one at Ecutek has chimed in to let folks know what is going on.

OP last posted 07-29-2014, 10:48 PM. I still haven't figured out his relationship with Ecutek (other than using their software to tune cars) or why he (and not someone from Ecutek) would post the announcement.

I checked Ecutek's web site a few weeks ago and was unable to locate info on the promised update. But maybe I didn't look in the right place.

The whole thing sounds dubious to me. YMMV

Just wanted to clear a few things up.

I made the first post, and everything that was presented in that post was available on the day it was posted. In this thread or else where I might have discussed future features that were in the works.. Clearly these features got delayed.

I posted this announcement because I'm a supporting sponsor on this site, EcuTek is not.

As for my relationship with EcuTek, I'm a Master Dealer, largest one in the USA.

You are a master of understatement.

I think it speaks volumes that they don't have some kind of presence here, but maybe I overestimate the potential sales.

OK, Just wanted to make sure you didn't speak for Ecutek.
I can't find any mention of Master Dealers on the Ecutek site but you are listed as a Master Tuner.

Sure seems hard to make you guys happy.

Personally I'd prefer something get delayed rather than something that just never happens.

John, be fair. This has been delayed for so long people have the right to be critical. And we only have your word that it will ever happen. And you disappeared since July.

I am interested in the new features - map switching, primarily. Low expectations = happy customer, I guess

I should note I had a drive tune (not an e-tune) done, I don't need most of the features advertised, and I didn't pay full price. As a basic tune, it has been great for me.

But to be fair you guys have always been critical. Most of you anyways.

Well, with what happen with the GTM group buy, and dealings of some other venders. Can you blame some of them for feeling that way. When you post something, when disappear for awhile. People wonder. Even if you have good intensions.
