today i went to a nissan dealer to have an oil change on my G and after the fact i quietly asked the tech if he could advance the timing on my car 2 degrees. he said no because since its a nissan dealership the computers dont work with infinitis and it wont work. this is bull**** considering the local guy who does it for 50 bucks works at a nissan dealer and uses his work diagnostic tool. ****ing jits, i woudlve given the guy 20 bucks under the table too. all for 3 minutes of pressing buttons.

 

ok.....

 

lol...just needed to vent. i was quite pissed because i was hoping id get it done and it was super cold outside this morning. no need for the hostility.

on a side note, has the drop affected the 4WAS in any way?

 

Are you looking into purchase an 07/08?

 

NO HOSTILITY was intended im sorry..just didnt get the point of the thread.

The 4was hasnt been effected at all due to the droppage..thank god

 

this seems to be a very strange thread to have in the '07+ general forum

 

lmao i have an 08 sedan. HAD an 06, it was totalled, just havent changed my sig. now is a good time actually.

 

they could have done it, he was probally worried he would get in trouble

 

yea i figured. w.e.

 

so it can be advanced a few degrees like w/ "Osiris"(?)

I know some guys at the dealer, what should I specifically ask for?

 

It can be advanced up to 2 degrees with Cipher.

Cipher is a clone of the Consult-2.

Osiris is a program that flashes the ECU with ROM files created by UpRev.

 

what does advancing the timing do? sry.. idk

 

Ok, cool. I knew UpRev sold Osiris and usually bundled Cipher, but I forgot what Cipher was called.

Cipher isn't available for the '07+ sedan correct?

When asking the dealer to make the change of +2* w/ Consult-2, can I call and ask my service advisor to do this and pay the 1/2 hour (?) labor? Or is it kind of an under the table thing you go to a specific tech for?

 

The 350z guys had a discussion about this the other day. If you look at the last time cipher had an update available, I don't think the HR motors were out yet. Cipher can't do the +/- 2 degrees on the HRs.

 

Even though development isn't done for Osiris or Cipher on the HR motor, can the dealer tool still do it?
