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.
