Hey everyone,

OK, I dont have a Skyline but im a guest over from perth falcons. An Intruder if you like :P

I've heard from a good friend that out on your cruises, you've been to the infamous truck stop off of Albany Hwy and that you have had to deal with that menacing bloke in the big ute that comes to ruin your cruise.

Its happened to me and some mates (not on a falcon cruise) twice now out of the 3 times we've been there, and frankly its pissing us off.

Does anyone know who this bloke is??? What his problem is and why??

What gives him the right to break up a car meet? Does he own the area or something?

You're talking about Farmer Joe. My friend ran up to his F250 and started a convo with him once, apparently his real name is Santa... I'll ask her what he looks like.

From what I know, he lives behind the truck stop and comes down to try and chase us off. Only works in small groups, medium groups he'll drive around and make sure you're all behaving (course we are...) and with large groups he'll hide somewhere to watch for a while before going home. He's never called the cops to my knowledge though.

This thread is no place for valid and correct informed answers....now GTFO! :P

    • 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  
    • 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.
