Got the car back today and engine light is now out. Auto sparky fitted a terminal to pin 51 and followed wiring diagram for diode and resistor placement. Cheers. Car is a 1997 S1 RS4 auto converted to manual using a power fc for a r34 gt-t for future reference.

Yep, mine is pretty much exactly the same: 1997 S1 RS-Four V converted to manual by the previous owner, then I had the R34 GTt PowerFC with "secret squirrel tweak" done.

Ah yeah, I do remember having issues with that, now that you mention it. The conversion was done a long time ago, so I can't remember (and don't actually remember being told) what was done to fix it.

I think when I had it done it was mid-summertime too, hence my requirement for working air-con.

Does anyone have the info on supplying tps signal to the attessa ecu to make the 4wd to work with the power fc? Mine has never worked since I've had the car. Have the pin 51 mod done and bled the 4wd system, pump primes and I'm not getting any lights in the dash.

I'm assuming it's the tps signal anyway

Heres some relevant info. You'll have to check whether the power fc outputs the voltage to the attesa.

If not then you may need to employ some electronics skills, ie, you could make a splitter for the TPS so it supplies voltage to both the power fc and attesa, however you would need a buffer circuit to ensure that there isnt a voltage drop caused by connecting the sensor to multiple devices.

Cheers. That's a good bit of info and helpful suggestion

Ok, so I have correct tps at attesa ecu. What's next? I can get the pump to run for approx 5 or so seconds with the bleed plug in the kick panel disconnected. However, it doesn't prime when ign is switched on. Could it be a faulty accumulator?

Great thread, just so that I'm in the the clear. I will be removing the NA engine and dropping a RB25NEO AWD from a Stagea into a R34GT-4.
I'm going to throw out he GT4 ecu and use a GTT ecu. To be able to retain the Attessa. I should split the TPS signal into two. One goes to the ECU and one goes to the ATTESSA.
I will be running a Link ECU is it any different to a Power FC in terms of the trick mentioned above?

Did you guys have to purchase a new wiring harness to be able to do this?

Pretty sure the Link goes into the GTT case - you may need an auxiliary loom for the IAT sensor and maybe the Map sensor

Yes it's a plug in ECU. I was worried if it is possible to do the same as covered here for the PFC. I have a map sensor and IAT ready. They connect on an XS loom.

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
