[Diy_efi] Nissan engine

[Torbjörn Forsman]

The 280 ZX used Bosch L-jetronic on cars manufactured up to June 1981. 
 From July 1981 on, they use a japanese injection system (made by JECS, 
Japan Electronic Control Systems) which is very similar to L-jetronic. 
But beware, although the japanese ECU uses the same 35-pin connector as 
L-jetronic, the pinning is completely different!

Best regards
