Electronics rebuilds
No fix, no charge, with a 3 year warranty. Tested and repaired in Edmonton.
Our platform has been plagued with common electronics problems. 3S Hub provides a no-fix-no-charge electronics rebuild service catered to the 3000GT, Stealth and GTO, with a 3 year warranty. We have turbo and non-turbo shop cars for both the CAS equipped 1991–92 motors and the CPS equipped 1993 motors to test ECUs. We test, examine and repair your car's:
- ECU (Engine Control Unit)
- TCU (Transmission Control Unit)
- DCC (Digital Climate Control)
- ECS (Electronically Controlled Suspension unit)
- GCA (Gauge Cluster Assembly)
- RHU (Radio Head Unit)
If we can't repair your unit, we ship it back to you at no charge, or may offer to buy the core (you're always welcome to decline and have the unit returned).
These issues are most common on first generation (1991–1993) cars. Units can fail in later models too, but they often fail differently, and in ways that are harder to repair.

Core credits
Send extra working units along with your repair and we credit them against your bill. Credits are set in US dollars; Canadian amounts are at $1.40 CAD per US dollar, with the total rounded up to the next $5 unless it's less than $1 over (so $41.01 becomes $45, and $40.99 becomes $40).
Climate control screens (DCC): $50 USD$70 CAD for a screen with no button wear and all three mounting tabs intact, less:
| Condition | Deduction |
|---|---|
| Minor button wear | −$10−$14 |
| Major button wear | −$20−$28 |
| 1 broken mounting tab | −$5−$7 |
| 2 broken mounting tabs | −$10−$14 |
| 3 broken mounting tabs | −$20−$28 |
Engine computers (ECU): $30 USD$42 CAD for a 1994-and-later naturally aspirated Federal ECU, plus:
| Feature | Addition |
|---|---|
| Turbo | +$20+$28 |
| 1991–92 | +$20+$28 |
| 1993 | +$30+$42 |

Shipping and border fees
Shipping to our service centre in Edmonton, AB, Canada is at your cost; return shipping is included in the repair price. If you're local, drop your board off and pick it up in person and we take $50 USD$70 CAD off in lieu of return shipping.
- Carrier: USPS is strongly preferred. UPS, FedEx and DHL usually add brokerage and clearance fees at the Canadian border.
- Marking: write "For repair and return – not for sale" on the outside of the box, on the customs form and on any commercial invoice. Give "Repair and return" as the reason for export.
- Value: you're the shipper, and your customs declaration must be accurate. Declare the unit at its value as broken electronics, typically about $5 USD per unit. The repair price isn't part of it: that's a service you're buying from us, not part of the goods.
- Import charges: any duties, taxes, brokerage or other fees we're charged to receive your shipment are added to your repair invoice in US dollars, at par with the Canadian-dollar amount (one US dollar for each Canadian dollar charged), to cover our paying them for you until the repair is invoiced. The carrier's bill is available on request.
Step-by-step shipping instructions come with your repair quote. If you want insurance or expedited shipping on the way back, tell us no later than one day after your outbound tracking shows "Delivered". Unless you ask otherwise, every return ships by Canada Post / USPS.
Repairing it yourself
If you're going to attempt the repair yourself, do it right. Get reputable capacitors from a supplier like DigiKey (no eBay kits, and no capacitors salvaged from other 20 year old electronics). They should have an equal or higher voltage rating than the stock capacitors, and the same microfarad rating. Make sure all leaked electrolyte is properly cleaned up: it often pools under the injector drivers.
Other repair services exist, but be wary. Many salvage capacitors from other electronics or use the low quality capacitors above. High-volume shops are also less likely to have testing hardware made for these units, and very unlikely to have a compatible car to test in.
