that's called the "boser" look. you can actually buy a piece of preformed metal that lines up with the factory bonnet, weld it on and repaint it, and you end up with a factory looking bonnet in all metal like it was meant to be there.

headlights are made by Hella, who make the factory headlights, so they fit 100% as well, cos they might as well be genuine.

euro modification market is centuries ahead of japanese fibreglass shit.

lol almost feel like doing a boser R32 skyline using a GTS bonnet :down:

Yeah right.

Definatley worth doing.

R32 has already a bit of mean look in the head lights, just need the GTR bonnet conversion.

hmmm Boser ay...what's that worth?

boser pressed metal hood extension is about $500 including shipping from the US/europe (doubt anyone locally stocks it). hella headlights are about $300 new?

you can buy full hoods in fibreglass that have the boser look, but they suck at lining up with headlights etc from what I've seen. best bet is to go all metal and custom weld it to get that mm accurate lines.

roll guards, repaint hood, 18" wheels, coilovers and you're good to go. MK4 golf is about 9K-ish secondhand. so all up for 13k I'd end up with a badass daily that costs next to nothing to run. Gonna wait for the new Mercedes B Class to come in, means more yuppies will trade up and golf prices will go down.

the way I see it 5.7L V8 that runs on dinosaur fossil smoothies while ripping holes in ozones as it drives along has to be offset by something cheap to run every day.

Meh a golf will always be a girls car in my books

yeah cos a 2.0L diesel's a high performance car n all. i love your book, especially the chapters on homo paint jobs, fail suspension and fail fitment. lol glad the new edition of the book at least has epic power.

Lol, i dont have fail fitment, i just dont have wanker look at me my tyres that are so stretched that i cant even drive it safely but hey it looks "hellaflush" and my mates will wanna give me a blow job. Suspension also give me good grip on acceleration because it is standard. Wanna see your hard ass breaking springs and shocks you have on your car even handle 280rwkw without spinning all the way though all your gears :down:

lol see my r32 actually runs 255's with no stretch on factory GTR rims, my spring rates are 12kg and 10kg front n back with matched shocks (no coilovers), which gets rid of some of the nasty arse squat and lateral sway. then there's the underbody bracing, the welded in square tubing, the passenger foot well cross brace and the strut braces, which should improve the rigidity, factor in the adjustable upper and lower control arms, castor and toe arms which let me dial in just the right alignment for max grip... and I'd dare say my car would handle a LOT better than yours, even with the AWD bits weighing it down up front.

I don't need to handle 280rwkw, i just enjoy feeling like i'm driving on rails with 200awkw.

My shit slow ceffy on the other hand, scrapes rails on manhole covers and cat's eyes and runs moderate stretch (225's on 10" is nothing revolutionary, and its still within the specifications of the manufacturer)... will I ever race it or dyno it? don't hold your breath.

So a car with 280rwkW's with stock suspension will handle better then a car with 280rwkW's with aftermarket suspension..?

Kris...

that's quite possible.... aftermarket suspension is definitely a generic term :down:

it SHOULDN'T, but that's another story... not everyone mods things preoperly :down:

and in kris's defence, he did say acceleration... not handling :ermm: we all know he's an idiot... but not a total idiot :(

kris, you fail at e-thug penis comparisons... i thought years of experience of givin me shit woulda come through, but alas.

and in kris's defence, he did say acceleration... not handling :down: we all know he's an idiot... but not a total idiot :ermm:

lol OK point conceded. kris, your car out accelerates mine due to suspension. :down: altho i suspect it might have something to do with the extra 80kw and 100kg less... and being sunkist orange.

Ah yes, thats right.

I should have asked,

"So a car with 280rwkW's with stock suspension will accelerate better then a car with 280rwkW's with aftermarket suspension..?"

      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.
