Why not get the delimiter chip from Ebay, would be much cheaper and you keep the Z4 performance?
Otherwise i'm sure there would be a lot of UK owners willing to swap!!
All UK's before 96 had the TD05 Unit so any early ECU will do it.

I Think the chip works on all?
You have a Jap ECU which works fine on your car so why wouldn't the chip work that is designed for a Jap scoob??
Correct me if i'm wrong.
Secondly the Z4 ECU has been checked and it will run fine on 97 RON, maps are identicle to PPP ECU, just slightly lower boost pressure. I've run mine on 97 (Sainsburys !!!) with zero det, car was datalogged under hard driving conditions, like i say no det or knock from sensor.

The pre 97's with a digital have a mechanical limiter, and post 97's use a chip. the mechanical one goes between the gearbox and the speedo cable or between speedo cable and clocks, there's 2 different tyes. hope this helps.

rubbish website and garage is a tip, but he is an awesome mechanic - knows his jap cars inside out.
Mines with him now having a TD05 and your Z5 ecu fitted dave, hopefully it won't go pop as a result

anyways, thanks guys. this was a help. ive checked with most of the delimitor things on e-bay. but all bar one say it wont work becouse ive a uk car. i would ned the mecanical one. but the 97> have the chip. ive a 95. it looks like i may have to go for the chip. the only problem is my injectors. there bigger than standard. i now need to check that the cars not over fueled. if the cars fine now with the fuel. then the chip would be a great upgrade, well unless i get the apexi that is .
so its of to the rr, if ok. the chip it is....

My 95 UK doesn't have a mechanical speedo, it's all electric, from what i have read pre 97 jap cars have the cable speedo, can the delimiter chip not be fitted to the wires that go direct to the ECU, hence not affecting the speedometer?
Taking an intrest as i will do mine sometime soon.
