Message :1. For those with multiple Z's, will you be able to use your product to tune - then burn a tuned chip for that car and move it to the next Z?

The Zemulator itself does not support the burning of chips directly. The idea is that the emulator remains *in* the car. There's no need to remove it. If you have multiple Z's, it's possible that Ash may work out a deal with you whereby he'll burn a chip (using your programming) and then you can move the Zem to another car (of your own) ;-) This will ultimately be up to him.

:2. I don't have my original chip for my car. It came with a (brand x) chip already installed. Can you provide a stock chip as a starting point for a particular year car?

The stock programming maps are proprietary to Nissan, and we will not be distributing them directly. However, that being said, there will be some .zem files that will be available for download. These are Ash's modified maps for specific mods.

:3. I also have a 90 Eclipse Turbo. Will this work in that car (with appropriate software changes)? Other cars with 8bit EPROMs?

The Zemulator is intended to work with the Z32 only at this point. It hasn't even been tested with other Nissans, let alone other car manufacturers. The short answer is "no".

:4. Warranty?

What are you asking here? If you blow up your car, will Ash be responsible. Then no. If something goes wrong with your hardware and you can't read/write to it, or you find a bug then yes.

Lets face it, you have to know what you're doing to use this product, and one of it's "features" is to push the limit to the breaking point. If you go beyond that, you can destroy your engine. You are responsible, as an individual, to ensure that the person tuning your car knows what they are doing, and know how to use the software.

Hope this helps!
