If you don't get a reply just google "electronic speedometer drive for R32 gearbox" or something like that . As for wiring apart from the speed signal which is obvious there is just the reverse ligh

Make sure you get an awd box! Top up fluids and bleed - nothing special to do.

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?

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.

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

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
