ecu numbers?

[r34 gtr]

what exactly do the ecu numbers mean/ signify? ive wondered. like, in the case of the ca, whats 98 as opposed to 99? if anything. ive looked around a little, but i figured some ca god here could enlighten me.

thanks, tim

as far as I know (and have been told by others) the big numbers really don't mean anything, except maybe year and or production codes...the small numbers tell you what engine it goes to...other than that i really don't know.

why?

great, the car is really fast. got a fmic, metal head gasket and a walbro 255 on the way as well.

Mine is a 98 if that means anything to anyone.

ive got a 98 and the SWAT is a 99, which is why i was wondering

[NeedCAforS13]

could everyone please post there ECU #'s on here...I might add that to TMS's sticky because it was a question I was having when I was looking for an ECU, and I think it would help out...I'll go get my #'s from the storage unit Monday.

Thanks,Sean

i have a stock 99 and a chipped 98. both are 4 sale.

The ecu that I got with my FWD ca18det has these numbers

7823710 36f05MEC-DO16 B1 0727

I am not using this ecu, since I end up programming my stock ca16de by jwt.

But still got no idea what these numbers mean, which I would like to know it though.

Good luck,
