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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
