I think his circle is really the 3rd generation RX-7's. He gets flown all over the US for group tunes by Rx-7 enthusiasts. Really cool guy, more than helpful, and super knowledgeable. He's also an avid road racer, boasting a 400hp (to the wheels) full race rx-7, thing is sick. He rents the dyno out by the hour, or you can purchase a membership and get time every month. I think I still have a few hours left myself. 
It's a small shop, 2 lifts and the dyno. http://www.kantuning.com

Just an update on my experience, which might help some out there.
I took my G35 to Nissan of Fort Worth, by recommendation of a friend, and they did the 45k maintenance on my car. They totally checked it out, replaced air filter, cabin filter, oil and filter, wiper blades, etc. Told me my belt had some wear but recommended waiting until 60k check-up to see whether it would need replacing then. Everything else checked out fine. Total charge was $222 as compared to Infiniti dealer wanting to charge close to $1000. Now, I know for that Infiniti would have done more work such as changing the belts and some other things that the Nissan dealer did not feel were necessary. But the basic (without fluids or belts or any extras) price from Infiniti was $497 so yeah you can see why you need to shop around.
So I am recommending Nissan of Fort Worth to anyone in this area. They don't do warranty work but virtually anything else can be done there. Ask for Ron!

lack of maintenance will certianly affect your warranty. if you dont do the bare minimums then nissan warranty can reject your claim....if your motor were to lock up, that would be very bad for them to reject it. Witch by the way your powertrain warranty covers the engine out to 7 years or 60k mi. and basicly a 30k is an oil change, rotate and balance, coolant flush, air filter, wiper inserts....and a handful of other piddly stuff. The down side to going to a dealership for services and the like is that it can get quite expensive. The upside is that there are alot of things that can go wrong on these cars that smaller shops or shade tree mechanics arent equipped to handle. I know because i work for one as a tech. There is only so much i can do outside the shop.

nissan dealerships can suck it, i wish everyone who works at one got murdered. anywho, i had jake do my 60k mile for like 200 bucks all together, all fluids basically, and im smart enough to know that what condition my brakes/tires/etc etc is in. f' those aholes, they wanted like 800 from me. and those was mostly to "check" things that a monkey could check for me
Jake - I might ask you to just give mine a look-over and see if you notice anything that I haven't as far as maintenance when we do THE install.
