UpRev wouldn't be able to find anything with that information, especially on something from that far back. They didn't start saving flash information until mid-2017, and even that info is minimal. That info can be found out a couple of ways.

1) Find someone with a cable and perform a ROM dump, send to UpRev. They can see if their custom code has been patched in or not. Probably the easiest way.

2) Go to a dealer and pay them to try and write a file to your car. If it fails, then it's probably UpRev tuned. If it doesn't fail, it's 100% not UpRev tuned. The security access is changed when you get an UpRev tune, which means a dealer wouldn't be able to program over it

OR you could just see if it said "UPREV flashed ECU" when you plugged the cable in

If you have cruise control the absolute easiest way to verify if its been tuned or not is to test for map switching.

Hold down set, then press and release cancel 1-5 times, then release set. If the cruise light on the dash blinks the corresponding number of times then you have been tuned.

And if you do have a tune, youre back at step one trying to figure out what maps do what...

Every tuner I know puts the main performance tune at #1

Might be true, but if he did have a tune, odds are, there are more than one map and would be good to know what they are. Would be funny if the previous owner sold the Z because it was on the Valet map and thought something was wrong with it...

So apparently I have a tune. I was curious about the anti-theft #4 option, holy f'k did that freak me out for a second, cool function though.
