I searched high and low, and only came up with one thing:

RB20 ecu's have "23" on the side. All the ones Ive seen have, even from a Cefiro.

Question is, mine says "65" on it, and for some reason Im throwing code 54, "Auto Signal to ECU". Perhaps my ECU is from an auto-transmission RB20? Do they cross over with no problems down the road? Im thinking mine was converted to 5-speed at one point, as its from a Cefiro, and I believe they all come Auto from Nissan.

Anyone have a "65" ecu or information on them?

Then I can cross that number to what chassis it would have come from.

I dont think the 22 really means anything, maybe a quality control number or something.

if you dont wire the speedo to the ECU you will NEVER hit speed cut. Just wire the speedo to the gauges.
