You have three solid options as I see it and I'll list them out in order of price:

-Moore Automotive: Likely the cheapest option and their tuner is rain man when it comes to messing with cars. They offer all sorts of in-shop discounts on yelp and through their facebook page. They are a really chill group of guys who all have their own "project cars" who will make sure you are happy before you leave. Their tuner has a really nasty Evo that's usually parked out front. Expect to pay around $500-600 for a custom tune. I really love these guys because they let you hang out in the shop and don't mind if you ask questions. Bill (the owner) is a really good guy.

-P-Tuning: Never actually used them for anything other than parts but I have heard good things. IIRC their tune prices were just a bit more than Moore's. They actually specialize in the BR-Z/FR-S platform and have some pretty serious racing chops utilizing older Scion platforms. I've seen of infinities and Z's in and out of there too so you're in good hands.

-Hill's Garage: These guys are the end-all/be-all of Nissan tuning. They were around when Uprev was first created and helped to write some of the custom sw maps they still use today. They even have wacky conditional tunes (temperature, AFR behavior etc). Frank Hill was one of the co-founders of Altered Atmosphere and is a freaking genius when it comes to the VQ motors. They come VERY highly recommended. Assuming you already have the uprev license, it'll run you a little over $1k for the tune. More if you don't. These guys work on tuner cars for the Ravens including that one dude's GT-R that made the news about a year ago for running a 100mph cruise down I95 with a police escort (lol). Hill's is the real deal but you will pay dearly for it.

I should also mention that my prices are based on tuning for a FI car. I'm sure NA is a lot less.
