Yeah i think i will probably remove the HICAS one day but i havent had heaps of driving in it since i bought it about 4 years ago. 7,000km's to be exact. Rest of the time i have been playing around with it. Sounds silly i know but i can never seem to just leave things be. So anyway my point is i want to experience HICAS properly for myself in all conditions before i decide to remove it. Not just because everyone else is telling me to. Even though im sure they are probably right :D

Yes Nissan deffinetly know me well both in melbourne and brisbane now. I need to replace my power steerings hoses in the engine bay but for 5 of them from nissan its 270 bucks! Anyone know of an aftermarket alternative? I was going to try some straight hose for a few of them and see how it sits.

Yeah i found the low pressure hose not even a foot long, from the resiviour to the pump was 110 bux just on its own ! I plan on taking that hose to an auto parts outlet and trying to find something of a similar shape...an r31 or vl perhaps. Recently, I replaced all the turbo coolant pipes, starting from behind the cylinder head, now THAT was expensive :thumbsup:

Yeah im going to just use straight hose to make up the majority of hoses. One or two i might have to buy but that'll be good saving. I can imagine the coolant hoses wouldnt be cheap. My bonnet brand new cost me 1000 dollars, they normally go for 1100 but because i had already spent about 5 grand at nissan they gave me a discount lol.

Leave the hicas in man, leave it 100% original, just restore it to its original beauty and leave it, and I guarantee you in 20 years time that car will net you a pretty sum man. I know your attention to detail having been to your house and purchased parts from you and following this cars build, not too often do you see someone go to the efforts you have :blink: massive props, you know I love your car.

      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.
