Its really easy,

Pull the kick panel off passenger side, un-screw the brackets from the ecu then un-screw the 10mm bolt in the middle of the blue wiring harness. Plug the Power FC in, it can only go in one way.

Make sure its done up fairly tight, as for boost controll kit it plugs into the side of the FC you'll understand when it arrives.

If you don't have the boost solinoid then you have to go into ETC > FUNCTION SELECT > the top one BOOST CONTROLL KIT > turn it off by pressing arrow.

Ive tried for about an hour trying to fit the power fc with handcontroller cable plugged in into the silver bracket (old ecu position), the ****ing thing wont go in

are u mounting it with the hand controller plug that plugs into the socket on the powefc facing up or down, mine is facing up, hope you are mountign it the same way. i couldnt find a way to actually attach it to the bracket, but once you bolt the braket back in the powerfc doesnt move around, you also try cable ties or some tape as cameron said

in my GTR I just took the bottom off the old ecu (it has the two 'tabs' that bolt to the car) and put in on the power FC, then bolted it up where it came from. Kick panel just goes over that. Hand controller is still plugged in too.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
