What are all the possible ECU modes and what are the differences?
I'd love to have the headlamp auto off time decreased and always liked rentals hat had the tap-to-flash-blinker-3times feature.
I just thought it wasn't an available feature. How much is customizeable like this on the car?

Good question. If any Nissan Service Techs subscribe here, that would be a very useful bit of knowledge.
My ECU service was no charge at Modern Nissan of Lake Norman here in NC. But, I was also getting my tpms looked at and is not the normal situation from dealerships from reading the forums.
NOTE: My blinker stopped doing the tap-to-flash 10 miles out after the ECU reset. And the Service Assistant said it might stop working "in that mode", he wasn't certain of the difference between the modes either as I asked the same question. He also said that many other Nissans seem to have the tap-to-flash feature, but doesn't know why the 370Z won't keep it on.
NOTE: I bought my Z from a forum member, OppositeLock. I bought it in the DC area and drove it home 500 miles. The tap-to-flash worked up until I got it home and installed my GT-R button (disconnected battery for installation). After the battery disconnect, I had to fix the auto-open/close feature of the windows. So, I guess I lost whatever setting made it work for the first 500+ miles I owned the car.
I'll hook up my OBD2 sensor up tonight and see what I can f*ck up on my own, or at least be able to read what non-engine settings there are - alarm settings, power windows auto-open/close, headlamps, etc.
