ATTN Z31/Z32,Z33,G35,G37,370Z people
ATTN NOVA/MD/DC/PA/NC Z/G owners, I have been messaging Z-tuner (Harry)one of the best tuners for our platforms back and forth about trying to get a dyno tune date setup. We would need the following to make this work. 4-5 cars Minimum up to 10 max. Cost of the tuning session would be 500 per car/setup (350z/g35 and newer 600 due to the vin licenses with uprev) plus your use of the dyno time. I would need the following info emailed to me (only if serious email Jason300zxTT@comcast.net) your vehicle info/setup what type of tune (pump or race gas) Where your located (so that I can try and get a shop in the middle of everyone to make it fair for all to use their dyno jet) as well as a contact phone number to stay in touch.
Hopefully we can all make this work and make really good numbers as well as have a safe tune to keep everyone safe and spending less money down the road due to a blown motor.
thanks
Jason

If you know a better tuner and is local and cheaper by all means share it.
Paying 500 for a properly running vehicle is cheap insurance to me to make sure my hard earned money that bought the parts and setup not fail and blow up is well worth it to me. Unless you know a better route

That's ridiculous for a tune. And couldn't you have just said "ATTN Nissan Sports car owners" instead of listing every stupid chassis code or name for the cars?

So 4-5 cars min, 10 max, and it's 500 or 600 per car, plus whatever the per-hour dyno fee is?
So if 4-5 cars are tuned in the same day, assuming a 10 hour day that's 2 hours max per car for tuning, minus setup/changeover time for each car. So that's somewhere between $250 and $300 per hour (plus the per-hour dyno time) to get a tune.
If 10 cars are tuned in the same day, assuming a 10 hour day that's 1 hour per car max for tuning, minus setup/changeover time for each car. So that's somewhere between $500 or $600 per hour (plus the per-hour dyno time) to get a tune.
Tuning is mostly just labor and amortized software license costs, so that still doesn't seem like a great value. I don't really understand the flat-rate tuning concept for something which takes a highly variable amount of time from car to car.
