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 :thumbsup: 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 :D

I'm putting a series 2 rb25det neo 4wd stagea motor into my R32 gts4.

So to confirm what you guys are saying, I can run an R34gtt Power FC, with the TPS mod as described above to make attessa work (as gts4 is 4wd) and the mod outlined by EGA41T?

Right?

Bought a R34 GTT Power FC with Boost Control kit

will take a while to get it, and will need to save for the tune.

will report how it goes in an Automatic 1997 S1 Stagea RS4-v awd (auto with MV Autos customized shift kit)

Hey gts4wa, if you use a R34 GTT PFC it already has a separate output for the attessa (well actually on the R34 GTT it's for the traction control, but it's exactly the same output).

Hey Brendan - do you mean there is another pin out on the ecu that we can just connect straight to pin #51?

I was going to try your trick (510k ohm resister between 51 and earth)

cancel that I've worked it out. pin 51 has 5v and we need it to have 3.7v to turn off the check engine light. When I do the change you said we get 3.7v at pin 51 and it all works fine. ;)

Yep thats it Duncan, either the resistor or the zener diode fix. I have the resistor in at the moment, but am going to change it to the zener diode some time soon, as it seems to be the most correct method of achieving the 3.7V needed.

The other pinout I mentioned is pin #37, which is the same on a Stagea S1, S2 and the R34 GTT, which gives the throttle opening signal for the Attessa on the Stagea, and traction control on the R34 GTT.

Guys,

My mechanic has tried this the EGA41T's method on pin #51 and said that nothing has happened... he also said that pin has no wire to the cars loom, is this normal?

I think he is going to try the same method with pin #37 and maybe the 510k ohm resistor to pin 51 to earth.

I would really appreciate any comment.

Thanks

Dave

silva this mod is to get around the powerfc throwing up and engine checklight due the traction control on R34 GT-t skylines.

whether you do this mod or not everything else works fine when you plug the powerfc in on the S2 stagea. it starts runs etc no problems.

on a series 1 the loom may not have a wire there but the powerfc will still need 3.7v at pin51.

That is what is confusing me... It is a Series 2 Neo factory manual..

Is there meant to be a wire in the #51 pin?

Everything does work perfectly and it is on the dyno right now but as you said the engine check light is on..

He also mentioned that he could not get a 400ohm resistor, only 390 or about 410 from memory could this be the problem?

Does it need exactly 3.7v or will less do?

Cheers

Stagea RB25DET (2.5) 1996 - 2002 ECCS pinout shows that pin 51 is indeed empty

I have the R34 ECCS pinout that shows pin51 to be throttle motor sensor signal

Throttle sensor signal is # 23 on both pinouts

Throttle opening signsal is # 37 on both

Throttle sensor power is # 48 on both

I cant find a throttle motor sensor signal on the Stagea pinout

Duncan, the car is 4x4 and Tangles, I have the same information as you.

The tuner said that he put an LED test light on Pin #51 and nothing happened and he also tried the k ohm resistor to earth and that didnt work either..

The car runs perfectly apart from the engine light.. he also mentioed that he thought the diagram in post 1 had the zender diode facing the wrong way (reducing voltage to ignition not the ecu) but I dont think he tried to swap it around..

Cheers

so it runs perfectly? 4wd is all hooked up and running ok (attessa?)

can you keep us updated please? cheers.

anyone know how else to trick the engine check light if your Pin #51 is empty??

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
