Las Vegas tuner?
 
I just bolted a bunch of parts on my 2015 Nismo Z and now the CEL is on. I want to know if there is a tuner in Las Vegas that can tune it out?

Just get one of these, hook the O2 sensor to it and reset your codes

The AAM resonated test pipes already has an extension on it.

how much does it cost?

Hotrodz 10-06-2015 08:24 AM

Call Seb and find out! I got the full meal deal since I have a twin turbo setup and she was fitted and tuned for flex fuel. You don't need that and you can probably do everything remotely with EcuTeK, so you don't have to travel unless you want him to tune it on the dyno.

chuckie311 10-06-2015 11:27 AM

As everyone was saying I went to Seb he knows these cars in and out! ill be there on Monday getting my headers and HFC on and also switching to ECUTEK..

nothing happened to my car.. i just wanted someone who knows everything about it and Seb and his crew are very good at what they do!

trust me its worth the 4 hour drive..

and i would go with a ECUTEK tune over uprev!

Thanks for everyone's help, but I'm not looking to tune for more power. I just need the CEL gone. Who here in Vegas could mess that up? It should be a simple fix right?

James10694 10-10-2015 12:52 AM

Check out all access tuning / tuned by Devin. They don't really do VQ motors but I'm sure they can handle that.

Are you opposed to going the etune route? Overall cost is cheaper than a dyno tune plus you get the cable so you can reflash back to stock and sell it used, flash updates, as well as do misc OBD2 diagnostics like checking and clearing codes, etc

chuckie311 10-10-2015 05:13 PM

go to auto zone and have them do it im sure they reset it for free and they tell you what the code is

I've never tuned any of my cars before because i never had this much mods. i wouldn't even know where to begin to what it is you're telling me to do.

I think the most important thing to do first is read the diagnostic code and see what is the problem it reports. Depending on what it is, you can decide on how to handle it. If you decide on the tuning route, a bit of info on e-tuning :


An eTune is a pretty great service. First, you have to decide whether you want to go with UpRev or ECUtek for your tuning needs, if you search a bit in the tuning forum you'll find a bunch of threads comparing/contrasting the two.

Once you've decided, look for a reliable tuner that does etunes, we have a few here on the forums. Then, the tuning software you've decided one will come with a OBD-USB interface cable that you will use to flash tunes and data log. With the cable hooked up to a laptop you go for some drives and log data, the tuner will tell you more specifically what they need. (for example, third gear pull, city driving, high way cruising) With that information and some input from you, they go dialing in a custom tune. Most of the times it'll take a couple revisions to get it dialed in, but the flash process on your end is simple. They send you an email with the tune file attached, you use the obd-usb interface to flash it onto the ECU.

As an added benefit to the tune, they can also remove a specific DTC if it is in conflict with a modification. People with test pipes / HFCs may get the post-cat O2 sensor code deleted, for example.

Now, from my understanding what you want is to have that specific CEL code removed due to modifications. The price of the tuning route may seem ridiculous for simply bypassing a CEL.
But the benefits are much greater than that alone. A good tune will make the car feel like a different beast. One of the best mods imo, and after a healthy amount of bolt-ons most people here will recommend a tune.

As per google:

All Access Tuning
3645 West Oquendo Road, Unit E
Las Vegas, NV 89103
702-483-8076


Personally though, I wouldn't take my Z to somebody who doesn't have experience on the VQ platform..

edit: I see on their website they offer tuning for GT-R on the ecutek platform.. Might be worth giving them a call and getting some more info.

James10694 10-13-2015 04:31 PM

Thanks... ^
