Remote Tuning
Having trouble finding a good local tuner here in SA, Australia who has experience and willing to take on the TT 370Z, basically little to none exist here. So starting to consider remote tuning.
Who here has had a remote dyno tune on their boosted 370Z? Please let me know the details, 1. Where and who is the tuner 2. Results 3. Did you need to retune or have any issues withit afterwards? |

But I do recommend at least inquiring. I found he puts ethics over business. Even the more local shop I go to knows him, and the respect is mutual that I get servicing/installs at their place while Seb updates my tune. |

Give Seb a call he will give you solid advice regardless of what you decide. He can remote tune boosted cars as well. You may need a base tune to give him something to start with.

Yep spoke to Seb today on the phone, he sounds like a top bloke! U guys are bloody lucky to have him over there for this platform lol we don't have any seb down here, we have alot who think they are like him but no true seb lol.
I think he only does the e-mail road tunes, I don't think he does the dyno remote because of the huge time difference between here and there. Is a road tune and logging via seb still the best route? Or should I try find another Z master like SOHO, Admin or Dynosty who might do an actual Dyno remote tune? |

Seb is popular here in the forum. He is just a couple of miles from where I work. Drop off in the AM and pick in the PM kind of deal. I go to his shop as well and recommend him. He is more conservative and really look at a nice balance between power and reliability. If you want an alternative call Forged Performance in Marietta, GA. I heard that they are a little more aggressive and eek out more.

1. Eugene, located in Northern California -- Moreover Concord, CA.
His credentials? - Master ECUTek Tuner - Masters' in Computer Science - Works for a very well known stars, planets, rockets, cool stuff company! (If you don't know what that is by now...then O_O) 2. He is all about 100%+ driveability results. He will make sure your car runs better than any other tuned car out there, using algorithms and data-mining to achieve such results. How many other tuners do this...? None that I know? xD 3. Retune? Pfft. The only time you really need to retune with him is if you add something to the car yourself that requires retuning or if you forgot to tell him you had something in the car that is important enough for a retune. Bottom line... I really believe you would get what you pay for from Eugene. Contact him. He is "ByTheBay" forum user on here. He also can be contacted at "Calibrations@infiniticare.com" |

Uh...It's actually "ByThaBay" ... you spelled his name wrong. And yes, I can vouch for Eugene. He is going to tune my car, once it is finished at least. For those of you following my 700 rwhp build thread --> I am having this same tuner tune my car. I will definitely post results assuming people can read the logs correctly lol. No, I won't be DYNO'ing it, because the car either IS or ISN'T going to run very well or not well. Although I do need to get me a GoPro or something for videos!!! Anyways, I say give him a try...otherwise you can try what other people recommend. (Seb, Jon Parham, Moncef, etc) There's honestly many choices, so good luck to whoever tunes your at the end of the day! Let us all know how it goes! |

Hal is also an excellent and extremely knowledgeable tuner. I have not heard much (good or bad) about Hal's remote tuning. What puts Seb at the top of the list for remote tuning is his response time.
