Hey i was wondering.. in the KA you can drop in the auto ecu on the 5-speed car and remove the speed limiter.. can the same be done with the CA? or all cars for that matter? hmmm

Not sure it'll remove the limiter but you can use an auto ECU or a manual on either, doesn't matter.

I think the supposedly auto rom bin I have has the speedlimiter still..

the ECU's are all the much same, if you have a ECU already, then someone off the forum could write you a chip for it, with whatever speed limit you wanted on it

Yea, with most Nissan's, the ECU only controls the motor, there is a separate trans controller. You should be able to use either ECU.
