I don't have any mods on my Nismo I wonder how much I can gain with just the tune? How much do they charge if drive to Austin how can I tell if I already have a tune. Interestingly my car came from Austin and it seems to be really fast.

I took out a Porsche Carrara 4S with ease.

J/k looks like you are in the CityWest parking garage. I started seeing a white one parked there every morning.

I've been working at a client at Four Oaks Place for the past few weeks. Not sure if that's what you're talking about.

A tune alone will not give you much, wait till you add some other performance upgrades and then do a tune.
The Nismo from factory has a slight bump in HP over the the coupe which comes from a different exhaust & slightly modified tune. Also, Uprev allows multiple tunes so you can tab through them with cruise control. I forget the process but I am sure others can help to see if you have a tune.

Oh ok, your not him then. I guess all parking garages look the same

SSP, J Tran, and Secret Service Auto all do UpRev tuning here in Houston. I'd recommend the first two.

What are you looking at getting to replace?

[VDC_OFF]

just a bunch of stock 18's for now until I pay off my last credit card. But in the future I see myself with 8 wheels all 10.5 +15 with Kenda tire 265/35's (which we get at $113 ea.) that I can take to drift events and have a full day of burning rubber. Our sponsor only provides 245's for 19" rims at $125 each and 255's for 20" rims at $130 each so Id rather stick with 18's. The Top Secret GTR (my motivation) runs Enkei GTC01 wheels but they only come in silver so Im thinking maybe Enkei RPF1's since they are 18lbs or the PF01 in black. My Advans are 22 lbs in the rear so that would be a good savings. If I want to go the JDM route, I love the Weds Sport TC105N's which also come in 10.5".

Don't ya'll agree that it would be better to part her out then sell as stock?

[VDC_OFF]

possibly if you take the parts off yourself. If not you have to pay for labor and involve a lot of time and shipping. I told my friend who is looking for a z, ill let you know

Any interest in bringing GTM to houston for tuning?
