Fitting the sr ecu in the glove box? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

mytagsucks · 07-20-2009, 08:26 PM

I've been trying to find a reasonable place to put this thing but I really havent found one. I have a redtop in an 89 240. Today I tried cutting open the back end of my glove box to see if that would work, but it still doesnt!!! Its still too long and I can't get it to sit back far enough in the area behing the glove box. And I hate just leaving it on the floor. Where do you guys keep your ecus?

i keep mine in the kick panel where nissan put it. why move it?

mytagsucks · 07-20-2009, 08:53 PM

On the passanger side? Will it actually line up as the original did?

Ceepo · 07-20-2009, 08:54 PM

nismolism · 07-20-2009, 10:49 PM

brackets are ment for a sr ecu to mount up on the left side wich is the passenger side

JeremyR · 07-20-2009, 10:51 PM

nismolism · 07-20-2009, 10:53 PM

u can put it in oe spot u just need the right brackets, it mounts up just fine

Enna · 07-20-2009, 11:15 PM

Use the KA ecu brackets and it mounts up just fine. Thought that would've been obvious.

jackal264 · 07-21-2009, 02:04 AM

mine is in the glove box. it fits fine. but i put mine there b/c my car is gutted and i no longer have kick panels.

thisisastickup · 07-21-2009, 05:12 AM

his car was bought with the sr swap, thus he has never seen the KA ecu that was in it. this would have been obvious had we seen it.
