Hey,

Had my 32 gtst for a couple of months now, and the light(check pics, red light on the left) on the right hand side of the dash next to the 'door open' light is flickering at me. The light looks like a radiator symbol (4 straight lines going into a square with steam symbols over the top)???

it seems like its only going on when i go over bumps and it shakes the car. The temp in my car is fine, checked the rad and all is good, engine sounds fine. i have been tinkering with the wiring loom lately and have found it to to be very disorganized and untidy. so im thinking its just a wire tripping it.

just wanna know what light it actually is???

and if this light usually goes on, and stays on when there is a problem, instead of just flickering???

and what the problem could be???

cheers.

that is the CAT Temp Sensor Warning Light. that light comes on when the CAT gets too hot. stick your head under the car, passenger side, and you should be able to see a sensor screwed into the side of the cat. a couple reasons you getting that light could be, your cat has collapsed and isn't flowing that well, therefore getting hot. or, your sensor has been removed, which i have seen done a bit when installing aftermarket cats that don't come with a bung for the sensor, as far as i know it isn't a problem to do this, as the sensor only lights up that warning light.

if your sure your cat is ok, or the sensor just isn't there, you can always just remove the bulb from that warning light on the back of the cluster so you don't have it lit up. you could search the forums for Cat Temp Sensor and you might be able to find out some more info.

      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.
