Sorry to dig up an old thread.

The pic above, will that be enough to provide decent cooling using the factory ducts and the deflectors mounted to the lower arms?

I've got the front bumper off my R32 GT-R at the moment, doing some mods and was wondering whether anyone cuts through the inner guard to provide more airflow into the wheel well using the two horizontal slots that are either side of the main intake opening on the front bumper?

I'm sure I've seen at least one fast R33 GT-R at the track use this method (used plastic mesh similar to what you put over a gutter to keep leaves out etc to go over the hole).

I've attached a pic showing where I am talking about. I tried searching the forum but found minimal info about this type of thing. I'm presuming no one really does it because it's not worth it?

Thanks mate, I've got the undertray ducts and have recently ordered deflectors for the arms. Looking forward to your solution! :D

Did you order Nissan deflectors or the ones from Unique Autosports?

It shouldn't be too hard to bash something together with aluminium plate & strap it onto the castor rod/LCA?

I cannot for the life of me remember if these ones are stock or aftermarket. The appear to have a couple of holes to use where the castor rod meets the LCA.

Wow this thread is old! since then I've bought a set of the genuine nissan caster rod reflectors, because I am limited to standard parts.

The ones that UAS make and similar are cheaper and better than the nissan ones.

Yeah sorry for that, it was either make a new thread or continue on with something that was kind of related to what I was after :D

DJR81, I haven't received them yet, will take pics and post them up once they arrive and are fitted.

absolutely no problems, I love when someone searches and looks at what was said before instead of starting from scratch every time.

It was actually from this thread years ago that I found out that the caster rod deflectors are standard (n1) and so they are legal for me to run on the race car. I ordered them about a year ago out of japan (very hard to find and possibly nil stock with nissan now) and put them on. Can't really tell if they made a difference as I changed multiple things at the same time.

But locally made ones are larger and cheaper anyway.

the ones you pictured are the nismo ones for R32 GTR. they were fibreglass or FRP maybe, and were about triple the size of the stock ones. the stock R32 ones were rubber and are in that parts diagram posted above. I think the stock castor rod deflector ones were only on nismo 32s, v specs and v spec IIs, and N1s. but all cars had the ducts under the bar that bolt to the front lip holes.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      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.
