The U12 is kind of related but not the same car. It's the same as the USDM Stanza (predecessor to the Altima). The J30 (third-gen) Maxima is odd in that it was the Maxima everywhere. Later Maximas were Cefiro-derived, and earlier Maximas were Bluebird-derived. The J30 was a separate model that shared some architecture with the U12 but was a lot bigger.
It was still called the Maxima, even in Japan. It was pretty much the same car worldwide.
As for your ECU question, it's on the right side of the driver footwell, behind the center console. The TCU is there as well.
