results still not straightened out, but it looks like all the SAU crowd made it through day 1 intact, well done everyone.

In particular Ben is 1st in Classic by a mile.

Snowy is 1st in rookie (I think, some results still missing)

Targa Tom is 1st in Evo class (sorry I mean showroom), by almost a minute. Great job.

It looks like Quinn (GTR woot) 1st, Richards, White, Jones (GTR again)....Alford 10th, Leemhuis 18th, Russ 20th.

In Early Modern: Shaw, Walsh, Beeble (GTR).....Thatcher/Handley 11, sav man down in 38, I guess they've had some trouble?

yep the 33 crew is out of the running but not out of the event. old Manion had a spin and got stuck in the mud on stage 3 this morning and missed the next stage so 2 dropped stages. apparently if they had a front diff they would have got the 4wd out. ben said they tried to use the HKS atezza controller to pull them out but with no luck.

Ben also had a few spins. apparently using a gravel escape road then using all his dorift skills he has lean from me did a hand-breaky 180 much to the amusement of everyone watching.

Good on the Nissans.

Still a great effort from the SAU guys today, we haven't lost anyone so far (except Ben/Sav really)

Modern: Quinn (GTR), Weeks, Richards, White, Jones (GTR), Alford 13th, Russ 15th, Leemhuis 17th. Great job in particular from Russ who has come miles through the field from 20th today.

Early Modern: Shaw, Walsh, Beeble (GTR), Ayres (GTR), Moore(GTR), Bergmann (GTR) Thatcher/Handley 12th, sav man still hanging in there in last after penalty time for yesterday.

Targa Tom is leading Evo class by over a minute.

Marlin is still hanging in the lead of Classic, but they are getting caught slowly. I assumed they would go quicker after the exhaust got ripped off in stage 16 :cool:

Snowy is leading Rookie Rally by over a minute too, well done. 2nd is another GTR Jorgensen.

Damo...Ben obviously lives by Neil's slogan too....."if you can't go fast, look good"

well rookie is over and Snowy wone that. good on you snow man and the Z-Tune looks the goods to. because he wone he gets free entry into the full event next year. i hope to see it back.

After analyzing the data off bens (sav) Track mate we found that he pulls 1.7 Geez (G-Force) in braking, but that also lead to the demise of a rear brake rotor by the start of longford (last stage for today). So i have just got home from a drive to Devenport to pick up a replacement pair of rotors and fitting them.

Also Apexi Power FC pros with launch control are the shit. just ask ben.

its good to see all the GTR's up there and so close together.

i would also like to point out that there was even a r31 2 door entered this year giving the skyline an appearance in R31 to 35.

I woke up to RAIN today! its going to be a fun day.

plus its RAINED heavy all night so things are going to get loose.

So those guys I saw at BP on Wellington Street yesterday in their Datsun 510 SSS are going to have fun considering they brought wet tyres for wet or dry?

Awesome :P

      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.
