1. Removing the ECU
Locate the ECU in vehicle to be modified. The location of the factory ECU can be identified from
the vehicle service manual. Usually for most Nissans the ECU is located in the passenger kick
panel. Disconnect your negative battery terminal prior to removing the ECU. Remove the screws
holding in the mounting bracket. Then slide the ECU out from the kick panel and unplug/unscrew
the connectors.
Below is a picture of the ECU with the mounting bracket removed. If sending the ECU away for
Nistune board installation, please send without the mounting bracket.
2. Opening the ECU
For Nistune board installation, firstly remove the top and bottom lids from the ECU. Screws
require a correctly matched Philips head screw driver as they are usually fitted from factory with a
red or blue epoxy which requires some force in order to remove the screws.
The following chapter is split into different sections, dependent on what ECU you have.
