Every day on the way to work I gotta drive at about 30k's an hour over this poor excuse for a road. I can't put on my r33 series 2 front lip on cos there would be nothing left of it when i got home. (its for sale)

Malvern: Corner of Glenferrie rd & princess highway on the in bound side. The tram tracks have turned it into a motorcross track!

Armadale: Corner of Orrong & princess hwy. (just at start of orrong)

Area: St. Albans -> Deer Park

Furlong Road - The whole road is full of pot holes, dips and one set of railway tracks.

Area: Laverton

Fitzgerald Road - This whole road is also full of pot holes and a set of train tracks.

Area: Laverton

Boundary Road - One of the worst roads around, lots of pot holes and patching due to lots of trucks. You can't do the 90km/h speed limit as it will trash the front of your car.

Area: Richmond

Street: Cremorne St (parallel to Punt between Swan and FWY)

Detail: Lets just say the Lada would have trouble here. The whole street is a 4WD test track. Is not only being resurfaced - but seems to be completely redone from scratch. It looks like an archalogical dig. AVOID AVOID.

Yeah its bad, my gf lives near there...

Area: Laverton

Fairban Road - Near Geelong Road the left lane is "split" that is the left side of the lane is a lot lower than the right. It will scrape the bottom of your car.

Area: Maribyrnong

Williamson Road - If you are going to Highpoint try to avoid this road. It is full of bumps and has a set of tram tracks that are like a rally jump.

Area: Sunshine

Hampshire Road - From Sunshine Road to the overpass the road is full of pot holes and is steep towards the gutter, you need a Hummer to drive down this road...

Agreed!

That part of hampshire road has been like that for at least 20 years - tightarse bloody council / govt :)

very soft around the edges that road.

Area: Balaclava / Caulfield

Hotham Street - between Dandenong road and Nepean hwy [long stretch] This road has lots of potholes, tram tracks and what I would call ski slopes at the edges, if your suspension is good you may enjoy it but if your ride height or front bar is low you may lose it. Its particularly bad at each side street. If you drive down this road you will know what I mean :)

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      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.
