370Z Development Loaner 06.02.09

370z

370z

Pushing forward with the 370Z development thanks to Nissan.  This is from what we can tell, a Nissan display vehicle.  So if you saw a yellow 370Z Auto at an event in the last few months, it would be this car.

We’re updating Cipher and Osiris for our Pro Tuners, hopefully we’ll have software updates in the next few weeks for these cars.  No ETA as of yet but I’ll make a post as soon as I have something to talk about on it!

It is for sale by the way.  Less than 1000 miles on the odometer and it’s in excellent condition.  We’re babying the car while it’s here, and it wasn’t a test driver car as far as we can tell (only had 150 miles when we got it).

If you’re interested in it, contact Chris Starnes at Town North Nissan (512)451-7411 cstarnes@maxwellauto.com  It’s a looker, with incredibly low miles.

2008.5 and newer Titan updates 05.15.09

Pro Tuners now have access to the 2008.5 and 2009 model year Titan software.

We had a customer drop off his truck earlier this week and we verified all the code on it.  WOT and Tuning are functioning properly.  We’ll be demoing it at the Texas Titan meet this weekend.

Pro Tuners will start collecting the ECU ROMs for us now, so if you’re near one of our listed Pro Tuners we would appreciate if you could stop by so they can have us start patching the ROMs for your trucks!

I also wanted to thank Miguel for letting us check things on his truck to verify the updates.

March Pro Tuner updates 04.14.09

We added a number of new Pro Tuners in March.

SpecialtyZ – Chatsworth CA

SpecialtyZ has been around for a long time now, specializing in you guessed it Z cars.  They are a very capable shop with dedicated employees.  All Nissan and Infiniti cars are invited, they can do it all.

Munky Wurks Garage – Honolulu HI

Sean is a one man army and the only place in Hawaii with the ability to upgrade and support your vehicle.  Now not only do you get to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth, you also have access to one of the hardest working guys on the planet.

Phantasm – Raleigh NC

Nam and Hung, the Phan brothers.  Onboard with Uprev finally.  If you’re in the area they are the place to go check out.  Don’t worry about showing up late, these two work as many hours as I do.  They’re well known Supra masters, and they have the knowledge and ability to make your car look and perform no matter what platform you bring them.

Advance Powerhouse – Toronto ON (canada)

Brian and the gang are our newest Pro Tuners.  It’s time to start bringing your cars out.  Spring time in cold Toronto means you need to get your cars tuned up and ready to drive as the snow disappears.  Well known in the area and with a great reputation you can’t go wrong.  We’re looking forward to a long relationship with Advance Powerhouse.

SG Motorsport – Toronto ON (canada)

Sasha has been using our software for a few months now and they came on board as a Pro Tuner because it’s time to get their customers cars ready for Spring.  Competition is hot in Toronto and hopefully that means the streets will be that much more infused with power shortly.  Sasha and the team at SG can make it happen so don’t wait or you’ll end up seeing everyone else out on the road before you.

DEALERS!

I also wanted to point out that we now have Dealers.  Dealers are shops that do not have a Dyno.  They are there to help answer your questions and service the customers that aren’t currently in need of a dyno tune.  Cipher, Osiris Tuner, MAF sensors and the other products we’re developing are available now through the Dealers so don’t hesitate to place your orders today.

SPL Parts – Austin TX

Kuah has been the man on the scene for a few years now.  Offering a wide variety of mild to full competition suspension parts.  He also builds some of the most competitive 300zx cars out there.  Almost all the 350z and G35 cars you’ll find on tracks here in Texas are running his suspension parts.  Innovation and domination.  If you need something that now one else makes, contact Kuah and see if he can find you a solution.

Import Parts Pro – Spring TX

Kyle is a very knowledgeable salesman with years of experience in the Nissan and Infiniti world.  If you need a part, or need help picking the upgrades for your car he is the man to call.  From basic NA bolt ons to full twin turbo kits he has the parts available to put your car back into competition.

March Madness! 03.11.09

Only a few more days!

Updated new lower price!!

512k ROM speed flash update. 03.10.09

Announcing an update for early model vehicles using Osiris Flash.  We’ll be adding in high speed ROM Flash to our next Osiris update.  Check the support page for the newest version Osiris and Cipher product downloads.  Software should be available by Friday March 13th.

This update reduces the likelihood of crashing the ECU during reflash it also speeds up the process from 8-10 minutes to under 30 seconds.  This is a huge benefit for our Osiris Tuner users and reduces the chance of all users “bricking” their ECU.

Testing the HR Motor Tuning Updates 12.09.08

Nissan 350z HR Motor Tuning

We’re currently working with a local customers HR 350Z to update Osiris and Cipher for use on 2008 and newer vehicles. Expect an announcement shortly about availability of Dyno Tuning and End User Tuning for these vehicles.

Osiris Standard updates will be announced in late January, as that will require a base tune library. Tuning will be limited to Dyno and End User for the time being.

Thank you for your patience, and please wait for the announcements so we can focus on updating the product line.
