This is where rapport and due-diligence comes into play. If you need convincing, simply drive to Nissan and ask a service manager in person. Your direct questioning in person will be met with transparency and appreciation for taking the time to show up and ask 99% of the time, and no, they aren’t going to ask what you drive or who you are to answer that question. @Racebox would be great to ask but only because of their reputation, despite offering tunes, they would not evade or be misleading about it.ECUTEK - i‘m pretty sure re-flashing the ecu back to stock will clear the boost history. Would be a good question for race box to verify.
Lastly, if you search the internet in a way that will yield unbiased (subconsciously or not) results, it will spew definitive results. I.E.
“- ECU Data Logging: Modern ECUs, including those in the GT-R, store a lot of data about how the car has been driven and any changes that have been made to the system. This data includes information about peak boost pressure, which can indicate if the car has been run with increased boost levels beyond the factory setting.
- Flash Counters: Some tuners might claim that flashing the ECU back to stock will erase any trace of tuning. However, the ECU keeps track of the number of times it has been flashed. This "flash counter" can show that the ECU has been rewritten, even if the current tune is the stock one.
- Nissan Diagnostic Tools: Nissan has sophisticated diagnostic tools that can delve deep into the ECU's data and logs. These tools can potentially detect signs of tuning, even if the tune has been removed and the flash counter reset (though resetting the counter might be seen as further tampering).”
