    Just a nissan ecu with a rom, no real features to speak of but at least nissan's hardware is reliable (for this generation at least). Can put another chip in it to suit mild mods, go nistune for highflows and e85 or get a standalone haltech/link etc for a balls to the wall build

    Thanks mate I brought a rolling shell this was still in it the motor and box I have to put back in it is auto it was originally a manual so the computer I’m guessing will be for a manual so no good to me any way lol

    They normally run rich with waaayyy too much timing. Little bit risky IMO. And Nistune is a much better option.

    The logical thing to do with this ECU would be to install it in a Z32 & download the ROM data.
    Then you could compare the data against an unmolested Z32 ECU.

    I think you can make an auto ECU work in a manual but I think you'll have issues running a manual ECU in an auto (zcar91 had a manual ECU in one of his auto TT's but it didn't run quite right until hit put an auto ECU in it).

    As above, auto will work in a TT but a TT ecu will not run an auto.

    This, you can download the Nistune software in trial mode, you get 3x 10min sessions from memory.
    Copy all the maps into Excel.
    Nistune also includes all the bin files for most of the available ECU's. So you can load up a standard bin file, then copy all the maps for this to Excel also, then you can compare directly what the ROM chip has changed.

    Nistune is a good choice.
