Went to Technosquare for F-spec tune
I went to Technosquare to inquire about getting a f-spec tune because I had obx headers installed on my 04 I35 and they said they don't do autos anymore. Are my only options exploring piggybacks?

you can get em off the Z's and G forums for probebly $400-500... the 6spd thing sounds good but make sure there is no difference because as far as i know the the reflash isnt only software but that was just something i heard

I'll search around for one. Thanks for everyone's help. I just don't want these headers to go to waste.

It wouldnt do you any good to get the ECU on that auto flashed anyway. The TCM would reset the ECU. Thats why they wont do it. I finally talked them into doing the flash, but 350.00 to just remove the speed limiter wasnt good enough for me.Plus no warranty either.

thats what they said.. one said to keep calling and asking to speak to the tech and let the tech know that you have to shift manually.. and another member said to say you did a 6 speed swap.. nmexmax has this done, but another member suggested doing the things mentioned above.. i think its C-Max or something? i'm bad with usernames but he has a 5.5 gen and a 3rd or 2nd gen

did the hustle thread will get the topic changed in this post hahahahahaha
back to topic: I called and they stated they can do it no problem, just do not talk to the secretarys. talk to a tech explain that you want extended revs and you are full bolt on .

Just tell them you did a 6 spd swap or go the Cobb route, it doesn't really matter about that TCM if you shift it manually you override the TCM....we had ppl get this mod awhile back like Nmex and I guess we've had folks get it(recently) not understanding that the TCM isn't gonna allow you to reach you 7100 rpm redline and they started whining like a b!tch! I believe with all the remapped fuel and spark, it should be pretty nice even in the auto....I'll call TS today and see why they are saying this to the Maxima a/t guys there's got to be some reason why.....

I was going with TS for the simplicity of taking my car there since it was so close. I wasnt too thrilled about having to cut into my ecu harness to install a piggyback. Initially when I got there I spoke with the secretary, then she got a tech, who told me the ecu's from a 02-03 Maxima and I35 could be different internally and that they dont do autos. If a vafc will benefit me as much as a TS tune I will explore that option.

and whichever tuning device im forgetting about then you will still need tuning
call TS with there auto ECU and said they did a 6spd swap or its a 6spd ECU... im sure it will end up in a waste of money...

you're still gonna need a afc of some sort... do you know why you would be getting a TS ECU??? just getting a TS ECU doesnt tune your car, your air fuel ratio will still be jacked up and unless you get
