Would it just be the last few years like a 95 or so?

Thanks. So who's installed the Z injectors and reprogrammed sofar?

I'm considering this vs measuring & balancing the stock injectors via R.C. Engineering.

Here's some rampant speculation:

98s have extra "complications" such as side airbags and traction control, along with the digital odometer. I imagine the ECU's firmware had to be "upgraded" to accommodate this.

99s have the 98 stuff plus the stupid Ignition Immobilizer System, which required a firmware upgrade to the ECU as well. In addition, it's now believed that late model year 99s (those made 1/99 and later) actually have a version of the 5th gen ECU. I could confirm this easily, but am in denial that this is a possibility on my 99......

in short.. the ECU's on the 98 and 99's have more pins than the 95 - 97 so it won't physcially fit.. but if you want to go on a soildering frenzy.. then go for it..

"complications" = more pins

Damn Nissan for not having enough I/O pins in the first place when originally doing the ECU development for the Max.......
