Nice ride man, shame about the girly little turbo!! the tacho is no great loss but it would have been nice to have been consulted about it's removal!

My advice is to get a dyno tune before driving this car, i have seen too many melted pistons from driving cars like this, our fuel is different, and tuning can be affected by flat batteries and stolen parts.

Hi mate,

yeah nice ride.

When i went to pick up my 33 GTS-t from the docks in Brisbane the bloody warfies had flogged heaps of stuff from my baby also. They took my Double Din Kenwood Stereo (MD / CD), gear knob (apexi), genuine skyline floor mats, driving lights and my racing pedals. And my tyres had those lil nobbly bits on them that they seem to get after a nice burn-out. I was less than impressed thats for sure. Patricks said that only the whole car is insured (if ship sinks) and that additional cover is needed if you want the other goodies covered. All my stuff was on the bill of lading but......hey....these things happen its what you may call a form of organised crime.

Well thats my 2 cents, I hope everything works out for you,

Haro

seeing this thread again made me remember just how farkin TIGHT some people are.

really... who steals 2nd hand parts that you might get a few hundy for. its been said so many times throughout this forum, but why cant people just earn cars/parts like everybody else has to rather than steal them. fark i hate them. theyre the kind of people that you would love to bash them to within a mm of their life just so that they dont do it again. if only you didnt have to face the repercussions.

over and out.

      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.
