Ha, my PC crashed in my last post....

anyway to recap ...cue timewarp wavy screen ....

I just watched the qualifier event the yanks had before d1 AND.....

OMIGOD!!! that is some of the most unbelievably shithouse driving (I wouldn't go as far as calling it drifting!!!!)

There was more understeer than anything else.... the yanks seem to think they are "fully sick drift kings bro", but the complete opposite seems to be true. For examples check out drift tengoku vol.14.

at least the Japs they brought out there would help a bit to make it worth seeing.

I wonder how long it will be before some kind of national drift comp series gets going here?

cheers,

After going to the latest round of V8 supercars at Oran Park I became really excited with an idea ( not the first time )

They fill in time between support races and the main event with a couple of bricklayers utes doin there best to make some smoke. At least the Falcon sounded alright as it bounced off limiter with a limo diff that actually works unlike the crummydore!

But how good would it be to have a couple of mad drift'ers in D1 style machines linking the track in some classic team drift.

Gives the opotunity for some of our own technical garages and modifying workshops to throw some products at a promo car and give the sport a bit more exposure.

YES! drifting needs to be promoted- but only in a responsible sense that doesn't make it into the fully sick "carpark drifter" spectacle its become in america...

I think a national series, an aussie D1 type event (but with more amateur classes obviously becuase the pros just aren't there), would be good.

cheers,

      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.
