Z1 engine tunes do not disable emissions control systems or the onboard diagnostic (OBD) system. The customer is responsible for ensuring the hardware they are using on their vehicle does not cause a failure to meet emissions standards.
The Z1 Performance Tuning Package - Upgrade Only option provides custom tuning support for customers that have already purchased an Z1 Performance Tune for their 2022+ Nissan Frontier, and need to update their trucks tune to match newly installed performance upgrades. When purchasing the Level 2 Upgrade, you'll receive a tune that has been custom calibrated to extract the most performance from your car's modifications, including aftermarket cold air intakes, higher option fuels, and more. The Level 2 Upgrade is available for customers that already have an EcuTek Dongle or Deskey, and wish to use the Phone Flash method or Deskey (laptop flash) to install their tune.
*Please make sure your phone is compatible with the EcuTek connect app before ordering. When setting up your account through EcuTek Connect, please be sure to use the SAME EMAIL that you use for your Z1 account. Failure to do this may result in extended processing time.

Z1 Level 2 tuning is advanced tuning support for trucks looking for custom tune calibrations. This would include trucks with a use case beyond the standard bolt-on parts, such as those with oversized tires, larger intakes, and complete aftermarket exhausts. The custom tuning process starts with our Level 1 tune flash and is revised based on the customer's provided data-log. Z1 will upload your first Level 2 tune based on the modification list you’ve disclosed. You will load that tune and then perform a data log on the vehicle per the instructions given to you by the Z1 tuner. Based on that data log, the tuner will adjust the tune to optimize your vehicle’s performance. If necessary, this process will be repeated one additional time for a maximum of 3 total tunes.
