Has anyone made any headway in this? Installing a Nismo VCM in a US car? Yes, I know you can't simply buy a Nismo VCM from Japan, need to buy the entire car there, or with luck, find a crashed/part-out car there.

Has anyone had any luck with the following: 1. Obtaining a binary dump from any VCM? ANY Leaf VCM. 2. Figured out how to do checksum correction in a modified binary file? 3. What the difference is between Leaf S VCM and SV/SL VCM? Is it the charger or..? Apparently the processor in the VCM...

I too would like to see a binary file from the VCM or motor controller. Has anyone managed to read it? Nismo modifies the VCM in 2013+ Leafs for more power (supposedly) but they won't sell their VCM outside of Japan, period. I have edited binary files in several thousand diesel/petrol car...

I take it that this $1,000+ device does not add power? All it does is increase pedal sensitivity so it feels more responsive or torquey than it really is? I have yet to see dyno charts or advertised power gains. Where's the beef?
