Not the purpose of a flash. You would need to have the tuner code off particular sensors you want inactive.
Is the transmission operation affected (auto). I would like a slightly higher redline (or shift point) and the ability to control shifting up to that point with the manumatic. Right now the manumatic won't let me past 6300.
Mine will shift at 6500 now, you can always hold the shifter down so it won't shift and hit the rev limiter. The rev limiter will be raised to 7100 RPM.
Will a dealer know you did this mod and/or be able to reflash/erase the programming?
Only if they suspect something and plug the ECU in to check codes.
WIll my ECU need to be shipped for programming or am I buying a new ECU? I can't afford any downtime so even a core program would be great.
The ECU will have to be shipped. Each ECU is key dependent, your key has a chip that send signal to ECU to deliver fuel when you start your car.
And finally, I'd just like to see the final dyno numbers. $380 is a great price IMO and I'd probably be in.
Tek has gained 17HP and 10TQ at the wheel. I'm getting dyno next week.

you can buy a new one still at whatever price it is, but you will have to pay another 120 to get it programmed to your keys.
my dealer installed mines at first, until I found out how to do it myself...

they need the car and the ecu with all your keys there, it needs to be inside the car..

Thanks for the answers.
One question
How do you hold the shifer "down". You mean hold it back while accelerating and it will hold the gear a bit longer? If so, I never knew that. Even in manual mode, it will automatically shift at 6300.

I had my second ecu programmed by the dealer and installed also, nothing changed at all, but you don't have to worry about that..

Tek: U have 16 more hp than stock ECU now? What parameters are you working on? What is your estimate of total hp gain? Any idea on the comparison of your program vs. my 350z program?

I have no clue on how to compare it to your car Deus, I know the 350 dyno they have there didn't gain as much as my car, why? I don't know.
I keep sending it back though, Tadashi keeps working with me and doing different things, I know if I had that program here I can do way more with it.

It's not important necessarily the mods that he has on his ride verse the work and research he has done for the whole 6th Gen forum...

By that I mean, take the Infinity ECU and clone the data from the STOCK MAXIMA ecu onto it, then mod the Infinity ECU with the Maxima data so that the maxima performs like a G35 but I still have my stock ecu.
What I mean to say is............. a fak it.
