Waste of time. The Nismo tune is nothing special - just slightly less crappy than the OEM tune if its even different at all. Regardless, the differences are going to be so minimal that it's not even worth looking into. Ecutek can do way more and will get rid of the terrible throttle lag present in all stock tunes.
