So after wanting one for about 5 years ('99 I test drove a R32 Gtst and wanted to buy it then but things were stacked against me, and since then I have been overseas a lot) I finally got my skyline.

Bought it from Dean from UPI so some of you may have seen it before, its a Midnight Purple R33 GTR which I'm stoked with.

Picked it up on Tuesday night and have been to busy driving it to post on here since then ;)

Here's what I know about it

- full Trust exhaust

- Trust Intercooler

- Cam Gears

- Ohlins Coilovers

- R34 GTR Wheels

- Tuned by Ben from Race Pace running 15psi boost... and made ~270 kw at the wheels (anyone who knows Ben, knows he dynos his cars conservatively - not on shootout mode)

It's pretty clean, and stockish which is what I want... still got more than enough power for me - and as a mate said if I ever think its not quick enough, just don't drive it for a week heh - but we'll see :D

I think the first thing I need to do to it is get spacers for the wheels to make them sit flush with the guards.

There are photos in the gallery here (I need to delete some - to many of the same place but can't figure out how to delete photos) or you can check:

If you see me around feel free to say hi ;)

P.S. Thanks to my mate DentR33 for finding this car and helping me look at others!

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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

      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.
