on the card it states that usually within two working days, you will receive an email notifying you that hypertech has developed the new calibration for you, and you can then up-date via the internet

hopefully this is true

guys the same thing happened to me. I entered my email address and literally within 10min they updated the calibration file and everything worked fine.

Can you go over the installation/remapping process please?

Also, does the car have a 0-60 limiter to begin with?

well assuming you need to run an update...plug the usb cord into the tuner then into the computer and follow the steps. You will need to enter your email address then they send you an email letting you know the file is uploaded and that you need to plug the tuner into the computer to get the file. After this is complete simply go to your car and follow the instructions (plug into the OBDII and enter yes or no). ALL DONE. SIMPLE

regarding the 0-60 regulation: this is what the hypertech tech told me...

The VVEL is used primarily to eliminate pumping losses at part throttle. This system uses the pedal position and driving style to determine the necessary amount of torque output of the engine. During normal driving the VVEL system can decrease the lift and duration of the open intake valves. This decreases power output which is fine during these circumstances. The benefit is that the throttle can be wide open and unrestrictive. Removing this restriction allows the engine to run much more efficiently because there is less pumping resistance on the rotating engine. This same principal is used in many cars in various methods (EGR, displacement on demand, etc.).

All VVEL and throttling methods are tossed out the window when it’s time for maximum power. The cams snap back to full duration and lift then. But, in steps another control system, throttle control. This system is used to deliver a certain driving style and engine output. Think of it this way. The same engine (essentially) comes in the 370Z and the G37 Sedan. There are only minor differences mechanically, but the cars drive differently. That’s due to the throttle control system primarily. In both cars though, if the driver puts the pedal to the floor at low speeds, the throttle doesn’t open fully until higher speeds. We fix this to offer maximum performance.

What Hypertech has done is remap the power output of the engine at lower speeds. Nissan delivers the cars to their dealerships and they drive one way. We remap the engine parameters, and they drive another way; hopefully the way our customers like them to. The driving difference is so great that we decided to offer the option to swap between Nissan’s and Hypertech’s driving style. This is offered in the “0-60mph Throttle Restriction” option. For performance it’s great, but not everyone who has a G37 or 370Z may like the dramatic change, so that was our reasoning for the option. The wording for the option explains the change very simply. In reality there are changes to the performance and throttle restriction at all driving speeds and pedal/throttle positions.

VVEL? Does it matter that the VQ35HR doesn't have VVEL?

Good to hear. I'll call Hypertech and talk to them about it. Thanks.

just realized too that if you go to hypertech.com and search via your car model (2008 3.5L...) it shows +7hp and +5lbs/tq which is EXACTLY what i got. coincidence? i dont know....

assuming that there is a throttle restriction on our cars, and assuming that the hypertech gets rid of that, we SHOULD feel a dramatic difference in power off the line.. it should be a lot snappier.. IMO, this feature is just as important as power gains.. this will definitely make a difference in the responsiveness of the car i would imagine.. so yea, bat, as soon as you get a chance to punch it off the line, or just from rolling speeds, let us know how it goes

I hate the throttle response on our cars.
If it corrects that it would be worth it IMO, any other gains woulds be a bonus.

thats the one!

guys, every day i love this unit more and more. The throttle response has definitely improved both mid throttle and right off the line. I am very happy and i definitely recommend.
