OEM VQ harness and ECU can be used with the S-Chassis, however, the ECU must be flashed in order to work correctly. The ECU must have NATS (anti-theft) disabled in order to start in a S-Chassis. The easiest way is to use Uprev Osiris. The VQ harness will need to be wired in to your S-Chassis. We provide a wiring and ECU service.
