Thats farked up gordo.

I got more bad news for Gordo. The QLD government is following the vic tosser labour government and putting in a whole lot of fixed speed cameras in Brisbane and Gold Coast even tho the vic ones were found to be faulty.

Looks like the qld premieris even more of a ***wit than bracks (if that is possible)

yeah gordo is ok guys

he stayed at my house last nite like we sorta planned already, fixed it up last nite, now hes in dubbo stopping over for the nite

also it looks like he will have to replace the drivers side front guard too as its a bit too bent from where the door slammed into it

we got it pretty good for the rest of the trip tho

JEEBUS! - I think there's a Victorian curse out on that car. Glad to hear you OK - but sh*t, we wanted to hear tales from your trip involving Danish hitchhikers in bikinis - not this.

Hope the rest of the ride is super-uneventful.

hehe.. nah, don't want to sell it at this point.. its too much fun having a car like that around here, and these things are when i'm *not* being stupid which sucks the most. Panels can easily be replaced. Anyhow, here are a couple of pix. It looks better now with the door at least. $600 and it should be good as new, could have been worse.

Shouldn't have stopped on the highway - stupid i know, i should know better and i've done plenty of highway driving before. Just one of those things. Stopped 'cause i thought i heard a ticking noise, and also thought i'd check the oil, water, etc. Unfortunately i just left the door the slightest bit open, not even what you'd consider that open and i was only there for a few seconds. Car wasn't parked that close to the edge of the road either. This huge road train (double semi - huge ****er!) comes by, i think "jeez, thats big".. and as the 2nd "carriage" goes past, the backdraft rips the door forward a bit. I can't run back to close it or i would have got slammed myself, and then wooosh.. before i know it the door blows out to right angles and SMASH.. rips the window clean off (goodbye tint.. meh, it was scratched anyhow), bends the door into pretty much an L-shape, and buggers the door trim. So I'm just in shock at that point. Truck just keeps driving, not sure whether he heard or just didn't give a shit (i think the later). So about 100km from Albury where i was meeting with Kamikazee to drop off his amp, don't know what to do so, **** it, i get in the car, and cruise down the Hume for 100km holding the door with one arm and driving with the other.. hoping like hell no cop makes me get it towed ($$$$), but i was lucky and about an hour later (going 110km/hr like that..lol) i make it into town, with everybody looking strangely at me.

Just watch out if you're ever on the highway, 'cause trucks couldn't give a flying shit about any car. If you're in the way you're just a hassle for them.

Can't thank Kamikazer33 enough for helping me. Without him, would have really ****ed up my whole trip, and I wasn't holding much hope of fidning a 33 door, and was thinking one would have to be shipped up, etc but it did work out and i didn't lose anytime in the end. There was a good Japwreck place Justin knew about, so we went there and they had all sorts of half cuts and stuff. We put the door on that night, and its been fine ever since. $300 for a whole door is a bargain too :rofl:

Anyhow, i'm here staying at my mates just back from Broadbeach until i find a place to share in Brisbane. Its awesome!! Some slight damage to my car doesn't really worry me when i'm doing what i really want to do with my life..

anyways, glad to hear fixing the door wasn't too big a problem. I thought it would be a problem too, being that u were in albury, but all's well that ends well. :rofl:

      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.
