remove the right front speaker cover and the sill plate and lift the carpet up on the passenger side. you will see a metal cover bolted to the floor. four 10mm nuts secure the metal panel to the floor. the ecu is under the metal cover.

here's a pic for reference. your ecu should have a sticker on it that says "N304". this pic i am posting is of a 12A powered car with an N249 ecu. they are in the same location and are mounted identically. the only difference is that the GSL-SE's ecu mount has a few sensors on it. i can post a pic of an SE ecu for reference if you would like.
