Looks like another tuning option out
 
Looks like HP tuners is expanding their vehicle support. Will be interesting to see how they compete.

Has anybody used HPtuners yet?

I am curious how it will compare to Ecutek for auto and boosted applications.

Hopefully somebody can chime in here?

I've used hp tuners on my previous vehicle (cobalt ss/sc). Seemed to be a decent turning platform. I never dove too deep into it as I got rid of my cobalt and bought the Z. Ironically I still have the cable and possibly a few license left. May look into it for the Z.....

A local shop (Australia) has offered to tune my TT Z with it, but they would have to do it from scratch and would need my car for atleast 1-2 days so they can learn everything about the platform and HPTuners.

But I am already in the process of getting a e-tune with Seb with Ecutek. Probably best I stick with that.

Do not, under any circumstances, become a guinea pig for a tuner to figure out new software.

HP Tuners has been around for a good while. They might be new to Nissan/Infiniti, but i am willing to bet they will have WAYY less problems than uprev. Why? Because they have better software engineers working for them.
I think ECUtek is the best option right now.

I partially disagree. If they don't know the platform, then yes you're correct. But if they are already experienced with tuning whatever platform you're trying to tune using other software, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being the guinea pig just for a tuner to learn a new software.

If you want to be the test case where they find out that something as critical as timing is handled completely differently (like Ecutek vs Uprev), then be my guest. That still doesn't make it a good idea.

Guess you have never had over 15k of engine on the line. It's a NO.

With Ecutek's recent announcement. Any updates on the HPT front, specially with boosted cars?*
