give the big boys hell tomorrow dave. yeah no practice for me either which is a shame because i wanted to try out gary's new shocks.

the a048's are going to suck against the guys on slicks once they get going. I'd bring some slicks along for you guys but I've only got 3, wrecked one when the caster rod broke :)

still, should be good to see how you go, I was OK to take 2 rows of the grid so you should be able to do at least that with the power you have now. Its a shame they wised up after a few races and started going sideways on the start to cut me off.

lol I think that is what they are trying to get on top of Andrew.

New shocks are in after 1am this morning (and thanks for providing the cold cold garage and help Neil :)),

No probs buddy,,,I wasn't cold but then again I did all the hard work. I gotta love ya style though,,,just a quick shock change turns into rear arm changes as well ya bastard.

If you hadn't sat there drinking and lazing around talking shit it would have been finished straight after dinner. lucky for me you don't smoke or nothing would have happened.

Lofty just pick the sportys off one by one,,,most are un-reliable old girls and come Sunday arvo you could well be kicking some big arses. Semi's at E/C will be interesting.

i'll let him post details later but we're out for the weekend :P

looks like Dave also had some problems in qualifying- hope it all got sorted so there's at least one Skyline still running this weekend.

Doh :D

I was going to pop out tomorrow morning and watch the first race :(

i'll let him post details later but we're out for the weekend :devil:

Doesn't sound too bad, if it's only one weekend you'll have to miss.. That rules out a whole list of potential boo-boos :D

yeah this particular weekend didn't go as well as last. 99% sure its got a spun big end bearing. the oil pressure was never right on that motor so maybe next time. even worse, the commodores are going pretty quick at eastern creek 1.48 and I don't think the car was sorted well enough to get close to them. but we will be back...again....

looks like lofty had a bad weekend too....not great for skylines all up :D

ahh meh shit happens soetimes. you need deeper pocketrs than mine to rutn thesecars.

dave, if you got a 1.42 that is a good start, that car has a lot of potential as a sports sedan and i reckon if jeff has the time andmoney to persevetr with it you can make the same sort of impact as yuo did in IP and production cars. hope he gives it a shot

good to hear dave I wish nmy spare motor was ready. althogh i might be a bit under the westher tomorrow. best of luck I'm sure you can grab 2-4 spots off the start.

surprised to hear it was a bearing though it looked like rings to me for sure? a lot of the black stuff came out, at least like my car it will never rust under there

      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.
