Nissan 370Z Forum  

Lower pricing, and 370Z support to Pro Tuners

So just to clarify, all we can do right now is dump our ROMs and just wait for the product to be finalized correct?

Correct. When Sharif tells me it's a go, I'll update everyone here.

Didn't make it too complicated did I?

Basically modded out and except for FI, there isn't much that can be done to the car so my last step is a real tune. Let me make it even simpler.....can you tune my car?

Didn't go over your head did I?
No but I get tons of people that want to use our system, and also use some other thing they've already spent money on, and that never works. So I just wanted to be clear that even if it's a piggyback or stand alone, we like to use only our system so that we have the controls we need to make the car safe.

Hit me up in e-mail and we can get everything figured out, ROM files etc to make sure we can get you in soon.

On the email thing, Uprev is very good with response. I will email in the morning and have something by the afternoon, hoping to stop by when in Austin this weekend and meet some of you guys.

Seriously man? If you think we don't want to work with you thats fine. Just keep our name out of your posts. I don't just sit around on forums all day waiting on your beck and call. You start off calling me dumb, then act like I'm here to "take your money", and now I'm ignoring you and avoiding issues? If you are so damn quick witted you'd figure out we have a website, on that website is a contact form. As a matter of fact it has my personal cell phone number listed and I don't remember getting a call from you yet.

Obviously you're not that interested in much more than trying to stir up some ****, and thats cool with me. Just don't expect me to read a bunch of nonsense online then be anything more than a "money taker" when you show up at my shop. Act like an adult and you might get a bit friendlier service when you open my door.

Also we're not putting anything off. We're not quick to rush into things and as a well respected company we fix issues if they arise rather than brush over them and just tell people to suck it up.

I'm a consumer myself, and I sure as heck wouldn't talk trash to someone I was trying to get service or support from.

Finalized, but we're testing a something where we had a glitch on certain cars (John @Z1 had the issue on his 370Z while he was here) while other cars were fine. Wasn't a big issue overall but just something where we don't want a Pro Tuner to have a car on a dyno and then they have to wait for us to fix while the customer has to wait.

Sam @GTM did a bunch of flashes this last week while John (our developer) was there testing with him for his turbo kits. Everything went really well, and he didn't have the issue the whole time so we just want to make sure it goes that smoothly for everyone first.

One of the nice things though if you do have an issue, we'd rather solve that issue and keep you as a customer than let you walk off to some other product. Our Pro Tuners will tell you how often we help them resolve an issue with a car they are having an issue with. We update our software constantly to help them work with tons of new vehicles, and we're always adding more. Sentra, Altima, Maxima, FX, M, EX, QX, Frontier, Xterra, we've worked on all these lately, so it's not just 370Z support going on here.

Keep up with Sharif, as soon as we have the testing done he'll have the software and we're dying to see what he comes up with for customers. He always seems to have some kick *** customer cars to show off.

Yup, just waiting for your go ahead. Semtex is ready to come in on a moment's notice.

UpRev is very through in their testing, and always willing to help at all hours of the day and night it seems.

Can someone recap for me what my options will be? sorry, don't have the time / patience / intellect to read through this whole thread and figure it out!... situation is this:

- car is being prep'd for racing / time trial
- only mods to engine are Stillen CAI, GTM straight pipes, and Stillen CBE
- I also have some light weight drive train components (clutch, flywheel)
- I do not need multiple modes (switch via cruise control), and in fact that'd prob be frowned upon by my sanctioning bodies
- I want some gain through tuning, but more importantly I want to flatten the power curve as much as possible so that I optimize my WEIGHT/POWER ratio for classing purposes, and get the maximum area 'under the curve'
- I'm located in phoenix, az

Thanks!!!
Travis
