We’ve just launched a new Under Heater ECU bracket to suit MaxxECU Race Gen 1 for the Nissan Silvia 180sx. Designed by popular demand, this update makes installation easier for newer, larger ECUs.

These ECUs are physically larger than older models, which meant the factory location under the passenger-side kick panel was no longer suitable. To solve this, we’ve relocated the bracket to mount under the heater core on the passenger side. The result is improved accessibility and a cleaner install.

This new bracket is designed specifically for the 180sx Silvia chassis and supports the MaxxECU Race Gen 1. It’s a plug-and-play upgrade for anyone looking to modernise their setup.


ECU Bracket Features

• Supports MaxxECU Race Gen 1

• Relocates ECU under passenger heater for better access and fitment

• Bracket is 3D Printed from PETG with a solid infill

• Works with existing OEM mounting points on the heater core

• No cutting or body modifications needed

This new bracket is available now on our website.

Next, we’re looking at adapting the same solution for many more Silvia models. We’ll be confirming mounting points under the heater core in other models such as the 200sx 240sx S13, S14 & S15 soon, so keep an eye out for updates.

Check it out on our site or get in touch if you have a special setup you’d like help with. We’re always happy to hear your requests.
