Is It Worth 1St Tune Your V35?

[The Max]

Any idea on how much it costs for the hardware and software?

I bought the cable directly from UpRev's website.

The generic Osiris Standard package, which is purely for flashing a file prepared by a tuner and emailed to you is US$500. This is limited to 3 flashes - additional eFlashes then cost US$50 each.

The Osiris Tuner package, which allows you to do the tuning yourself, is US$700.

Because we're dealing with JDM, I took the safe approach when I bought mine. The first thing I did was buy the Cipher package for US$200. This was a relatively cheap test to see if it would identify my ECU so that I can then liaise with UpRev to determine if the Osiris package would support my ECU. It did and so the only thing I had to pay for was the upgrade cost to the Osiris Tuner which was just the difference, therefore, US$500.

Forgot to mention: The software is free. The money is all in the hardware.

If your referring to Uprev.

Osiris Tuner is $700 (this one allows you tune your car yourself).

Osiris Standard is $500 (Uprev themselves do the tuning and mail it out and you can update it via PC)

Osiris Flash $300 (You mail in your ECU and they do magic and send it back)

Lol just noticed your post after I did mine.

Question for you.

I know Uprev requires the ECU Number which Nissan can retrieve from the VIN. Did you have to give your ECU Number? I ask because I'm pretty sure Nissan Australia won't be able to give me the ECU Number being an importn which means I have to contact Nissan Japan.

Did you have any troubles?

Who the hell told you that rubbish?

Their consult can read everything your ecu and trans ecu (if you have an auto) have to offer and is the same hardware/software that all Nissan dealerships around the world use.

EDIT: My Cipher cable displays the ECU number automatically when I connect it.

You can go to Nissan and they can use FAST to see your ECU part number- if they are feeling nice on that given day. They are not suppose to give that info out. Alternatively, you can use EPC data and put your VIN in there. Navigate through the menus and you'll find the ECU part number. It will start with 23710-XXXXX

I did the process for my car about a year and a half ago, and I'm in the process now for a Pathfinder.

Cheers for that info, that makes sense. I realise alot of their things are global but wasn't entirely sure. :-)

Cheers as well for your help man. I will see how I go.

What he said. That's how I found my ECU model number.

Maybe u thinking about BCM and immobilizer code?

Uprev has ways around this too....

Maybe I just fail actually...

I also didn't realise that CIPHER could pull the data. I remember when I was on their site when I first got the V, in their FAQ it mentions that to get the ECU number, find someone with CIPHER which will give the VIN and contact your local Nissan/Infiniti dealer.

Obviously things have changed since then and maybe the website needs updating?

I tried EPC Data and no results found for my VIN. All good though, I probably won't get this for awhile anyways. :-)

Nothing's changed. You still use their Cipher to pull the data. What they're telling you is to find someone with a Cipher cable (as a minimum) who can pull that data for you, as opposed to taking the US$200 gamble like I did and bought a Cipher not knowing if it would pull the data or not.

It wouldn't sound very nice of them if their FAQ said "Buy a Cipher and hopefully you can extract the data."

re: EPC data, you probably just didn't enter it in the right format. You can go into the details and just search via model code- example- CPV35 auto gearbox runs 23710-AM905, AC610, CM46A in chronological order.

You can PM me your VIN, or find someone to hook uprev up, or go to Nissan.

Fair call that makes sense. I didn't realise Cipher pulled the ECU number but I see what your saying. :-)

Lol you were right, I took out some of the numbers and mananged to figure it out.

I got the ECU number, its 10 Characters long.. apparently $1721 USD (not that I'm buying lol) .
