No mate, the ECU ( Engine Control Unit ) are the ECU's in the auto's and manuals the same?

Do you mind if I add your pick to this thread??? http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?2705-GQ-4.2-EFI-TCU-%28-Transmission-Control-Unit-%29

Cheers 4 that anyway

Good question, Todd. As you know I am hunting one and have been told today they are interchangeable. But autolec says they are not !! Snotbox ECU was changed today, and made no difference, anyway. Hopefully some one will know.

Hence the question Kat, I knew u where after one and we found the one for the manual on fleabay, but I wasn't sure if it could be use in an auto or not.

Why did the mechanic believe the ECU was faulty anyway, whats snotbox's problem?
