tjandriesen Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I have an aftermarket Mines ECU to put in but don't know where the stock ECU is located (yea - kinda basic but still..) Where is it located and are there any trick to changing them out? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/169363-where-the-ecu/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tosboost2 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 don't recommend you do it yourself, heaps of wiring in there especially if you didn't know where it was i wouldn't change it. unless its plug and play Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/169363-where-the-ecu/#findComment-3166603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
d00dz Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Bottom left side, passenger side. (under the glove box). Take the passenger side "SKYLINE" garnish off slightly to reveal the kick panel connector. Pull it off, just some plastic connector thingys. No real tricks in taking it out.. Just becarefull with the wires ey as you can see below.. What it looks like after the kick panel is exposed. Take off the bolts circled, refer to image below to see placement of where the bolts are. What it looks like when taken out, in the bracket: When the wiring thingy is taken off: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/169363-where-the-ecu/#findComment-3166666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 well it is a plug and play thing. you will need a 10mm socket to screw the harness out. but you need to be careful with mines or similar pre tuned ecus....should put it straight on a dyno to make sure all the afrs and timing is safe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/169363-where-the-ecu/#findComment-3166676 Share on other sites More sharing options...

d00dz Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 You need a 10mm socket and driver to screw it in, and yes screw it in pretty tightly, as if it comes up when your car is moving.. iono.. It might transform into a transformer? ok that was random Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/169363-where-the-ecu/#findComment-3167169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
