I tried searching :D , and I read the FAQ on the powerfc which was very helpful, but it didn't answer my specific question...

I'm going to get a powerfc for my R32 GTS-4, and just wanted to know if the normal RB20 version (AP Engineering) is the one for me.

The ATTESSA has an independent computer under the parcel shelf in the boot, right? However, would the 4wd system also incorporate the use of the standard ecu for certain functions? I'm asking this because i'm wondering if the rb20 powerfc would take this into consideration if in fact the GTS-4 ecu is involved with making ATTESSA work.

Even though you can modify the rb26 powerfc to use with the rb20, apparently the only things that need to be modified have to do with injectors and not anything to do with ATTESSA in the rb26 version. Even so, i just wanted to know if the normal rb20 version will work fine with my gts4!

Any help would be great!

Thanks.

Isn't the power fc a plug-and-play type unit, where you basically use the old ecu harness to plug straight into the power fc? Therefore the wires that also connect to the attessa ecu would remain the same because no wires would be modified, right?

Then you'd just get your car all tuned up...

hey mate, the engine harness would have the wires intact but the ecu will have no pins for the 4wd wires as the ecu is meant for rwd rb20's.

its simple to hook up anyway once u find the correct wires.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
