Hey todd I do believe that is the ECU thats in the main photos and the one mounted on the inside of the kick panel is for the auto!
My old EFI patrol had that computer but not the one on the kick panel side!
Cheers

Thanks for the info Trent, I'm pretty sure its right, but will look into it, I assume different models had them set up differently

Cheers

X2... I'm with GQUte

The box you have labelled in the Piccies is actually the engine ECU (Nissan P# 23710)

The Auto G/Box ECU in a series 2 GQ TB42(EFI) is the box on the left in the bottom two piccies. When modd'ing GQ's for Torque Converter Lock Up circuits I used to attach the relay to the top of teh Unit and the wiring runs from the plug underneath. There is a mounting screw for teh trim that is a real PIA if you get it wrong
