Is there an immobilzer on ECU?
I just got my 5spd swap done on my gle 2k1. But I didn't get a chance to swap out the ECU yet so I'm still using the auto. Got that SES light and my speedo don't work. I can live with the ses light but I need my speedo... I know our cars have an immobilizer on it and I was told that because of this it can't be programmed on my car without the master key from that vin#. I'll have to have a key cuz with my vin# so that it will work on this new ecu. Or Will just swapping the ecu work?

If you want the manual ECU to work, you MUST have a Nissan dealer reprogram all three: keys(ALL), immobilizer control unit(in ignition key cylinder), and the ECU.
Otherwise, the car will not start.
