We'll hopefully be racing in the NSW state champs enduro in the last weekend of October at Oran Park.

I don't think there will be as many categories running as usual but should mean lots of track time for us :)

Cheers kel, I havent been on sau much lately either. I have been competing in group sa in the historic series, although the car i have been running has just been sold by its owner to make way for an mx5 race car so i might hopefully get a few steers in that or in their mgb race car.... will just have to wait and see. Hopefully i can clear up the end of october but i think im going to struggle as i have a wedding and my gf is heading over seas so im sure ill be in big trouble if im not at the airport saying goodbye!!!!

Will have to get off my ass soon and do my flagging soon so maybe next time!!!!

Oh yeah forgot to say..... been driving a 1959 sunbeam alpine, Its old, underpowered, the suspension is kinda buggered and its had more hits than mike tyson but it still gets round oran short in close to the same times as i can do in my line.... mind you my line is also nudging 20 and still has the origional suspension so thats probably no mean feat!!!!

Its about 2 seconds a lap slower round wakefield, though you feel every bump so it feels like your going faster than you are!!! Lots of fun! :)

what a top way to learn to race....good stuff :) I guess rubbing is considered poor form in historics though?

Yeah its heaps of fun, i have to drive the s$%t out of the old girl to be in contention for a place. They aren't to keen on rubbing panels but it does happen. I had one experience with a porsche at eastern creek which was a bit more than a rub, i was sitting on his bumper ( yes a porche thats worth about 200k being tailgated by an alpine that just sold for 7k) at turn 3 when he decided that he liked the grass better so speared off straight ahead but also made the decision to keep his foot planted harder on the accelerator then come back on and t bone me at somewhere near 100 clicks.... very exciting. i did 3 full spins then ended up facing the right way, he went on to colect the wall over the top of the tunnel on the opposite side of the track that he origionaly left from, i think he was lucky to hit me cause i slowed him down lots and he still hit so i think it would have been hospital time for him otherwise!!!! Apart from that i have so far managed to keep out of trouble..... but i guess with racing its only a matter of time!!!!! It was a real shame to see the old girl get a new home this week but after testing one of the track mx5's at wakefield a few weeks ago im sure it will make a worthy replacement!!!!! :)

haha i always feel a bit ripped off when its not my fault :) sounds like an expensive day out for your porsche buddy.

I remember the saying in the daewoos, when you see someone spinning in front of you, drive straight at them. By the time you get there they will be goooone.

Which I believed until I saw someone nail someone else dead on the drivers door :)

those mx5s make good little race cars, msut drive one one day

      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.
