here is a list of the PCM modules sold in the US. my .au PCM code (N3ZK) is listed on it.

I would be careful with that application chart (US) as it is incomplete, there is no Miata or MX-5 info that I can see either, did not know 2002 Mazda 2's were sold in NA ...as far as RX-8's goes they also list Australian and UK PCM numbers, but these are not available as a part from a US Mazda Dealer because the are not installed in their 8's...they only import parts for their country...as a general rule..unless a guy makes an error with initial orders and that can happen.
