The $600's does not get you a spare ECU, and the Aussie version does?

Default It really doesn't matter...

Your code will be different than ours. So even if ours is cheaper, it wont work...sorry.

The extra cost is probably in APRs tuning down under since they don't have direct access to your cars.

Now quit your "biznoching" and get a schweet car we will never have 8^ P

It's a 2000 model and I have no idea what the last letter is on the PCU cause I can't see it. Is it written anywhere else?
