    Lads,

    A 01 Maxima 2lt Auto, QX V6. The Engine Control Unit (management box) seems to have a blown chip. Anyone got any ideas where I can get a new unit or if it would be easier/cheaper to get the new chip thats needed.

    Cheers

    I read a user review from someone before on either parkers.co.uk or carsurvey.org, they said it cost over a grand, I am not sure not if that was pounds or euro.

    Well to get it off Nissan it costs 2k so obviously I'm looking for other avenues to make this cheaper.

    I have tried already. I was hoping maybe a mechanic or someone reads these boards that may know.

    Have you explored the possibility of having the ECU repaired?
