Default JDM P72 octane rating?

Ok, a Nissan guy friend of mine claims that over in Japan they only have 97-100 octane and nothing lower. He swears my JDM P72 ECU that came with my 1998 GSR swap will be preset to run that grade and that I can't run anything but 97-100...wtf is what I have to say...your opinons guys...thanks in advance!

not really - octane just reduces knock - use premium with your GSR (91 octane here in cali, i mean my friends' USDM 00' Integra GSR says PREMIUM ONLY) and you'll be fine. what's missing from the JDM vs. USDM ecu is maps for emissions (evap purge control, etc.)
