ECU ya mean. and no, whoever told you that, is full of sh!t. an ECU from a 90-95 MPFi VG30E will work.

 

 

and, if i remember rightly (redpath88 will correct me lol) the ECU from an auto pathy will work in a 5 speed, but not the other way around.

I thought Nissan called them ECCS's? Any who.....Slicks right , I bought an ECU out of a 94 and mine is a 91, Worked sweet.

Not BS they do....Well mine does ....dunno about the TBI one's though.

Mine is located in the right hand side of the body, above the rear wheel arch. Don't ask me where they are in a 4DR.

If its like the Z-cars, you are correct (I think Nissan was pretty consistent with their behavior in this manner). The automatic ECU will try to send signals to the transmission controller, the manual one won't - but if you put the automatic ECU in a manual car, the ECU will simply assume that the transmission controller has tanked and will go about its business. The manual ECU doesn't even have the circuitry to talk to the transmission controller at all, so if you put it in an automatic car, there's a pretty good chance that it won't work to the point where the car won't move.
