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

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
