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.
Tell that to Sony... Better not hack your PS3 or Sony will sue your azz.

Which actually got me thinking.. Has any car manufacturer ever came after a shop or customer for tuning their car? Is there any legal liability tuners have to worry about if they do "crack" the VVEL setup in our cars?
