Below is the wiring diagram which enables the power fc to function properly in a manual stagea without throwing the engine checklight.

I have used this wiring circuit in three series 2 25t rs four "s" stageas, all with great results.

However i cannot attest to its viability in a converted series 1 manual stagea.

Hey Andy, I figured out something similar to achieve the same results.

I just put a 510k ohm resistor from pin 51 on the ECU to ground, because pin 51 has around 5V coming out of it

and you just have to lower that voltage to around 3.7v to turn off the engine check light.

It seemed to affect the idle slightly aswell, did you notice that?

But besides that, it runs fine, just have to get my cold start sorted out.

i can attest to the workability of the "secret squirrel tweak" as i have it installed on my car and it is easy to fit and allows you to tune the power fc as you would in any other car.

cheers oxford

I can confirm that the method that I have used in a series one converted to manual

does work.

But if the method Andy has shown is a better way of doing it, I'll give it a go.

Anyone know if it would be the better way of doing it?

i have no problems with idle or any other side effects.

the way it works is that the zener diode (or diode's if you use a combination to achieve 10.3V) have a break over voltage of 10.3V, meaning that only 3.7V (14-10.3) or there abouts makes it to pin 51. the resistor to earth is to stop any current from flowing through the ECU.

My cold start is a bit funny as it still needs sorting out, but once it's warm it idles fine.

What I noticed was that when I put the resistor in, the idle changed (lower or higher not 100% sure now).

But I might give your method a go when I get some spare time, see if it makes any difference.

the R34 powerFc pin 51 goes to the traction control so if you plug it in it will run the engine no problems (at least on a series 2 stagea and presumably on a series 1) but the engine check light will be lit. EGA4IT's circuit will provide the 3.7V to get rid of the checklight.

Guys how does the PFC react to the GTR gearbox and 4x4?? Are there any long term issues assosiated with this mod and the driveline?? Does the GTR PFC control the Atessa in anyway and if so I would asume the GTT PFC wouldn't do the same job?

If you're still thinking of getting the Autech Stagea, then the PFC for an R33 GT-R will work regardless of if you buy the series 1 or series 2 Stagea. It's a direct fit and no mods need to be made.

If you're getting a series 2 RS-Four S, then I believe that once you've done the mod outlined by EGA41T, wolverine and beastien, then you won't have to worry about the ATTESA - the ATTESA control is separate.

The attessa can be run by any ecu easy, all it needs is the TPS wire split into 2 and one goto the ecu and the other to the wire than runs to the rear attessa ecu to give it the tps signal. 4wd will work perfectly :) this works on haltech, autronics, wolf, etc. I have done it and it works perfectly.

ill find the colour of the wire that u need to connect the tps signal too and post it on the forums for future reference :rofl:

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
