I don't actually know why these units are failing. The gates one failed differently than the OEM and Ebay unit. It worked, but something in the control circuitry must have shorted to the controller chassis. If the hood was open it worked just fine, but if i closed the hood and grounded the radiator it would come on.

I bought from these guys in late November. I think I paid $225 at the time.

**Update** The Gates controller has failed. Even better, the OEM controller is currently no longer available from Mitsubishi. I'm going to give this repackaged Orielly's unit a try and cross my fingers.

I will update if/when this unit fails.

My car is not much of a project these days. Occasional restoration/replacement due to aging parts but I mostly just want to keep it well maintained and drive it. So I just bit the bullet on a new Genuine unit about 2 months ago. Bought it from Daytona Mitsubishi (link above). You're 100% it's NLA?? Must have just happened!

Wow great info guys! I'm gonna have to pick one up from Nissan. I've already bought and installed the Orielly's unit, but I'll shell out 90 bucks to have a legit OEM unit on standby.
It's my pleasure. Yep I'm the same, the car is pretty much where I want it modification wise, so it's pretty much become a game of slow restoration when it needs it. Half the time these days it's me going in and correcting or improving on something I did to it when I was younger. It was actually Daytona that I tried to order from, they get almost all of my OEM Mitsu business.
P.S. I would stay away from the Ebay units. It's the first thing I tried, and it died quickly.
Thanks for sticking with this thread!
