Really nice, interested in how much that cost....one day lol

tad more expensive than your regular joe shmoe but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

There's no paint runs, dirt, flat spots, blemishes etc and a lot of time is spent on prep work.

The front bar had a lot of chunks missing, deep cuts into the plastic and dents etc (thanks to the previous japanese owner) and any of those would show up once painted, so a lot of time was spent fixing up all the imperfections in the panels and front bar. It wasnt just a sand down and a spray.

In regards to pricing, my spray also included front bar repair, a replacement guard + prep + fitting and a rim repair (little dent in the lip from the person who reversed into me) so the price would be different to anyone just looking for a front spray and even then it would be different for each car.

Best way would be just to call Mick and I guess ask for a quote as he gives discounts to sauvic members. As my spray included a lot of labour hours any estimate I give now could be way off.

Hope that helps? haha

so shiny you can see yourself taking the pic..ha that front lip is old school gangsta!

haha yeah wanted to show how shiny it really is!

Electronic drop-down front spoiler, gotta love crazy factory options :(

Mick loved it and suggested that it should get a coat of black paint to match :thumbsup:

      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.
