i have tried searching but couldnt find too much on this.

i was thinking of putting an r34 gtt power fc into my stagea (series 2 rs four s manual) will this work, and how will it affect things like climate control and AWD etc?

I've also done a search, and found nothing relevant on hardwiring the ATESSA system.

Does anyone know what's involved, and is it a simple or a major process?

I'm really keen to do this, as I'd like to find that balance between better fuel economy, more power, more responce, etc., and PowerFC is amongst the best solutions (closed loop and plug-and-play are major factors).

Its a simple process. Think along the lines of, stagea ecu has seperate outputs on the harness for the attessa requriments, where the GTST doesnt. Therefore, its just 2 wires coming out from the single pin.

Read from about post 8.

By the way, goldzilla....you even replied in that thread :D

Mercury Motorsport said that the PFC they used didnt need the engine harness to be cut/modified at all, BUT, a guy from Japan that did Goldzillas car said the GTT plug doesnt fit, ALSO, the R34 GTT neo engine has infinatly variable VVT where the R33 engine has it only on/off. SO, not sure what MM did about that, but they wouldnt share...its a secret

Yeah I did too, Alex! But that thread is so old I'd forgotten all about it and don't remember checking it for replies.

Hmm, the saving continues... Concentrating on the stereo for now (at least getting some replacement speakers, anyway). I can handle (and am quite enjoying) the power the car already has, and would like to get suspension and wheels first, once the stereo is at least partially sorted...

EDIT: Alex, did you end up taking your car to the PFC distributor to see what works/doesn't work before making your PFC purchase?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
