Why?
they said when the GTR was released that the ECU would be unbreakable. Yeah that lasted real long.
If someone is paying to buy your car then why should they not be allowed to change something on the car. I understand they are watching their liability but its not like once you tamper with the ECU your warranty is going to be any good anyway.
So why not let owners have the code to the ECU and let them tune away. Just make the code open source so anyone can play with it, at their own risk of course.

I have talked to the guys at Uprev, though it has been over a year, it seem Nissan does not directly write the ECU code/software. They setup what they want and someone else programs it (forget the company).
I would love for it to become open source, but it seems car companies are a bit dated on the tech/software side of things. They want to put all this awesome tech in cars but want to use horrible software or lock it down to a point even they have no clue what is going on.
