I really think the later VG30 OBDII ecus will end up being the way to go once someone spends some time finding out which addresses contain the values you want to tweek on the .bin file.

Then you can just load it through the obdII port with a multitude of programmers from the vetronix master tech, to the blue streak iFlash unit, to the Global Programmer.....etc.....the list goes on.

Of course.....you will need to add a sensor that "listens" to the ring gear in order to not have a check engine light or if you want full self diagnostic capabilities. ]]> HowlerMonkey 2009-07-27T17:11:49-08:00 http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=424430;postid=4940514#4940514 I don't think thats a fair comparison, megasquirt is fuly programable, JWT are jus tuned chips taht are stil quite conservetive as they are talyored to work safely for the masses, nistune of similar woudl be a mroe accureate comparison, it really just depends on what you are more comfortable tuning with evildky 2009-07-25T21:32:29-08:00 http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=424430;postid=4940510#4940510 I have no experience with JWT, but I will have to say there are many, many Z owners running megasquirt and it's VERY tunable. In my experience with it, I'm quite a fan, and can easily be changed on the fly. The JWT may be a little easier to get running since it's a re-prommed factory ECU but the MS has much more tunability. ravera 2009-07-25T21:31:55-08:00 http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=424430;postid=4939174#4939174 which is bettermegasquirt or jwt megasquirt or jwt ]]> kelloggman 2009-07-25T02:05:27-08:00 http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=424430;postid=4915417#4915417 Quote, originally posted by Bleach As someone who owns a Z31 and Z32 turbo you should know the electronics in those cars are vastly superior to the factory 280ZX AFM system.

IIRC, if you start to kick more than about 350WHP to the rollers (super easy with that motor), you'll even start to eat the T-5's that came in the 280ZXT.
