Getting the right ECU

Getting the right ECU
So I need to get a new ecu and reprogram it but this is the first time I have ever done this before. So I feel like asking around would help.
I currently have a 2003 G35 Coupe 6MT but the ECU I have found in it is wrong and may be the reason why it won't start. Cranks but won't start. So I have called Infiniti and give them the VIN for the proper ECUs parts number and it was 23710AM702. Seeing that part is a grand from infiniti, I wanted to find it on eBay and pay the 1k ecu as a last resort.
So the ECU that was on the car has DC MEC31-902 A1. So would I need to get an ECU off another exact car; Same Year, Body Type and Transmission or would I need to have it being the same info as on the ECU as well?
I absolutely appreciate any help with this so I can buy the proper ECU.

It's best to have a dealer check if your ECU is bad first, it may only need the keys reprogrammed. If your ECU is bad (bad injector or coil output etc) I can probably repair it. PM me if you need more info.
About the original post I'm pretty sure all the 03' 6SPD Coupes have the black 2 part connector like the 2004' - 2006' cars. They are the newer gen ecu without wideband. All 03' 5AT autos that I have encountered are 1st gen grey connectors and also use a external TCU. Also to address the question if he should stay with the same number ECU = Yes
