is nice....

I'm not sure about in vic but there are a few perspex places in syd that can knock something up pretty easily. or you could consider the sard surge tanks which mount the pump inside the tank which is a good idea, and looks neat. plus being inside the tank surrounded by fuel it tends to quieten down the pump a bit. :D

edit: I seem to remember paul dirtgarage had a very nice perspex cover for his pumps and surge tank. pretty sure it's his set-up I'm picturing. had neat little holes with rubber grommets for the hoses to pass through.

Yeah, I think a custom one from a perspex manufacturer may be the go. I know there's on in Sunshine here in Vic, but I was just not sure when I'd get the time to go there to get it done. I should do it though as I need a second one made for something else.

The Sard setup is really nice, but I already have a surge tank, so I want to go with that. I just need to section it off from the cabin for CAMS approval.

I might shoot Paul a PM too, thanks Richard.

Yeah it was a Performance Metalcraft product...i think they no longer do them. The enclosure is required for all internal surge tanks that are not totally sealed from cabin to comply with ANDRA regulations. It prevents fuel from spraying around inside the car in the unfortunate circumstance of a hose or fitting failure or accident.

Looks the part too.

I'm coming up with a design at the moment Steve, and I'll work through it with Daniel. I basically want a rectangular unit that will fit into the spare wheel well, with a perspex removeable lid, like the one attached.

Hey lads just in case if you need another fabi I could prob help out (not trying to cut your lunch Dan just offering). It looks like a simple bit of kit should be pretty easy to make let me know.

      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.
