Cobb abandons G37/370z owners..
COBB Tuning is announcing a restructuring of the AccessPORT product line in order to better align our internal resources with our core markets. Effective immediately, COBB Tuning is discontinuing development of AccessPORTs for the naturally aspirated Nissan 350Z and 370Z. Other naturally aspirated platforms affected by this restructuring include the Honda Civic Si, Infiniti G35 & G37, Mazda RX-8 and Subaru 2.5i & 2.5RS. Development for the Nissan GT-R is unaffected by this announcement. This refocus of resources and efforts will ensure that COBB Tuning can provide the high level of service each individual AccessPORT platform requires going forward.

UPDATE:
Also if you have a Access Port, make sure you download the Access Port Race Tuner Beta using your access port ID. With this you'll be able to take it to any tuner and get a tune.

Yea the way I read this is the G and Z aren't performance cars and are not as large as their "Core Market." To maximize revenue and profits were cutting back to focus on them. Note they kept the GTR..lol.
^ So true bro... it just doesnt make them look good IMO... thats it im getting me a GTR... lol !
would you happen to know if your tuner can do an E-Tune, just curious in case I would like to get one done and how much... unless he would be willing to sell your current tune ? we have about the same mods, im just running the junk Stage 2+ tune for the meantime...

I was watching a technosquare video the other day interesting to see the gains they got from a stock 6sp 370z also done on a superflow dyno. Kind of falls in with what I suspected, there's nice gains to be had with just a tune.
Other than the ones listed, what cars are they going to focus on? Just the EVO and STi? Oye. Sure, "following the money", may be offered as an explanation, but the Nissan/Infiniti market has been quite large from what I've seen.
Just more broken promises. Not surprising at all.

Definitely. I'm just not surprised though, that Cobb has dumped all off-the-shelf support for all these cars.
