It's the brain of the car.

It's a circuitboard with all the programs to make a car behave the way it is.

IE: It would detect your acceleration % and according to that, it will make the Injectors spray much more.

Don't search it here, search it on Google. It's a MAIN component of ALL cars . . not just 240sx.

noob.
