What gearbox are you using? You may be able to use the shaft you have. (Don't know for sure as mine was AWD to GTR AWD).

I have a issue with my s1 rs4v that's been converted to manual. Awd has never seemed to function right. What's the process of fault finding something like this? Pump primes on start and had been bled. Where would the attesa ecu be to check for fault codes?

I have a question mates,i have a Auto AWD R34 with Rb25 DET neo and want to go with a manual box.My question is what do i have to do to get my attesa working like normal?

Make sure you get an awd box!

Top up fluids and bleed - nothing special to do.

Left hand side of boot forward of wheel arch.

Is there anything else that would stop the attesa working without showing a light in the dash?

Just to note I'm using a r34 gtt power fc if that makes any difference

Has it ever worked since you had it? New ECU requires a line from the TPS to somewhere - there's info in here somewhere.

From my knowledge not while I've owned the car. It has the pin 51 mod done to remove engine light from dash. As for other mods, I couldn't be sure as I never fitted the ecu.

Does anyone have a pic of where the atessa ecu is in a s1 c34? And how much interior trim do I have to remove to get to it?

I have one of those electronic torque split controllers fitted (been in the car since I e owned it) and if I turn it up above say 2, the 4wd and abs lights come on. Is that a normal function due to the way they are wired in? I know it does it switching from 4wd to 2wd.

Really want 4wd for launches. Probably break drive shafts but I have spares.

As above he attessa ecu is behind the trim between the LH wheel arch and the back seat. I would not be confident that the torque split controller can safely put you into 2wd. If you read the instructions for putting the R33 (and C34 Stagea) into 2wd I would doubt that a torque controller could do that. R32 is another story.

Got me stuffed where the attessa ecu is. Pull my trim apart today and couldn't find it it front or behind the strut tower. Do I need to remove the back seat or something? Can I just plug in consult and see if anything shows up? Even though I'm running a power fc?

Pump primes on start up and every now and then sitting at idle I hear it come on for a moment and then off again

Apologies for the thread bump but I'm at a loss, does the clutch pedal have to be modified to fit? I have a r34 pedal but it's fouling on the bracket for the footbrake. It also doesn't line up with the hole at the top where the footbrake. Was just wondering if anyone had any photos of how they mounted theirs

Go back to the beginning of the thread and Trukboy explains it pretty well.

I wasn't planning on using the footbrake I've already got my handbrake installed but I'm needing a bit of guidance with the clutch pedal. Has no one got any photos? I see that Trukboy got a recessed master cylinder, is it possible to do it with a standard master cylinder? I bought a job lot of bits off someone with a gts4

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
