ECU question auto vs manual
Hey guys. i was wondering if anyone knew of a possible way to flash a automatic 2k2 ecu over to a 6-speed ecu. Is it easy? possible? if so how? this is a rarely talked about subject so any input will be greatly appreciated

different s/w, but ...

The ECUs are not interchangable, even with a flash. Even more so, the ECUs between years are not interchangable either, unless you have a dealer (or TS) reprogram the keys to the new unit.
There are different ECUs for each year, as well as each option (or combination thereof) for the car. Some of the combinations are:
2002 M/T - No LSD
2002 M/T - With LSD
2003 M/T - No LSD
2003 M/T - With LSD
2002 A/T - No TCS
2002 A/T - With TCS
2003 A/T - No TCS
2003 A/T - With TCS
... and that's only listing the year, tranny, and LSD/TCS options. I know for a fact that there are more options listed in the Nissan parts CD, I just haven't looked them all up.

Do you still have this ecu by chance? and is it from a 2k2?
