Yes it needs to be reflashed. And you need to use this program. The reflash process programs the module to the vehicles security system and updates the software. The part number could be used in several different vehicles, configurations, with different engines, etc... so the reflash puts the correct software into the module for your application.

@apmotorsports5568

For tuning this will not work. This process simply puts the OEM calibrations into the ecu. For performance tuning you would use a special software that is able to modify specific areas of the ecu that are normally "locked". For nissans, especially the z and g, it is common to use a software called "uprev".
