Help removing ECU!!

Hi I am trying to get my ECU out of my 2007 g35s 6mt so I can send it out to technosquare. What are the proper procedures on removing it? I don't want to break clips or any of the plastic pieces holding the panels. I downloaded the service manual but I can't seem to find a page that show how to remove it or the procedure on removing the panels around it.

omg such a coincidence I was doing my grounding wires and I am trying to figure out which one is actually my ECU there are metallic boxes in that vicinity ones at the bottom right edge of the foot well one is above that hidden next to the air filter so you can only see it if u wedge yourself in there and look up and right...

Here is a picture of the footwell with the glovebox removed and the right side kicker plastic trim removed:



This a close up to the stuff you see in the picture above on the right corner, says Nissan on it and all that:



Now, right above that and further front maybe a few inches right next to the firewall, hidden from view and only be able to see if you stick your head into the cavity and look up... is :



The view of which is looking up, so you are seeing the bottom of it, and next to it the white plastic is the cabin filter/fan (its this roundish plastic housing). You can see my grounding wire hooked up there because I think thats the ECU ?

Let me know guys. THANKS!!

How difficult was it to reach the unit? Did you have a shop manual for reference?
Thanks for the pictures. I heard the ECU is typically next to the blower fan. So I'm assuming you're correct.

Can someone confirm.
