Well, you have two options-
Option 1- Buy the Pocket Romulator from
http://www.xtronics.com This will allow you to tune on the fly through the use of a laptop and download the Nissan Live Edit software which you can find on my site-
http://ca18det.escic.com --When you are done and all your settings are finalized, you can save the file and then burn it to an eprom using a programmer such as the Willem (you can find em on ebay). Anyone can tune with a laptop and the software. I don't know any shops off the top of my head though that tune for the CA, but I am sure anyone who has any advanced tuning knowledge could get you a pretty nice tune (ie: XAT racing in Tampa, Central Florida Turbo, or even John Estrada
http://www.jestrtuning.com).
Option 2- Buy an eprom programmer and go to my site listed above and get one of the pre-modded files. These are basic edits that just account for fuel and maf changes with no changes to the timing as far as I know. Just burn them to the chip and plug em in and you should be good to go. The Live Edit software will let you make your own changes as well, for example if you were running 550s, but were still on the stock MAF for the time being, then you could modify the stock CA file for just that. Once you get the program and you mess with the screens a little bit, it's pretty easy to navigate.
