No, not really.  All Nissans were using the same ECU from around 1989 
up the the OBD-II era, and even those weren't drastically 
different.  The big step was modifying the thing to take a "chip" and 
disassemble the code.  That effort can be amortized over all the 
Nissans they were developing it for [Geo - give me some accounting 
help here ;) ]

A little tuning for the SR20 (see my previous post about the 
not-so-drastic changes your $600 buys) and no changes in 10 
years?  It's just a cash cow at this point.  I know they were selling 
the things clear back when the B13 was eligible for SCCA Showroom 
Stock.  Anyone else remember Grimmer-Phillips?  They had the 
"standard" JWT ECU  and the "Stealth" one with no external stickers 
for SS Cheaters.
