Ok,

The next cruise is planned for Saturday April 24th. But seeming as though there are so many destination options we thought we'd give everyone a chance to vote for where they like to cruise to next.

1. Macedon Ranges - Hanging Rock.

There are some nice easy twisties in and around Woodend, Lancefield, Kyneton, as well as some FWY cruising. And Hanging Rock has a great carpark for photo's etc.

2. Warburton - Reefton Spur.

Good set of regular twisties going through the dandenongs, c0ckatoo, along the reefton spur - then from Warburton we have the option of travelling through Mt Donabuang etc. Long driving day.

3. Peninsular - Portsea Pub.

Again a nice cruise down with a good mix of twistes through places such as Arthurs Seat, Red Hill, plus some nice stopping points like the Portsea Pub for lunch if desired and Point Leo for photo's.

4. The Moon.

Requires Special means of transport. Very long cruise.

:ufo:

Chances are we will do all these cruises at some stage this year. But if you have a preference for the next destination speak up! The desitnation will be decided by April 8th.

:)

THE OAK - I'd say both the Macedon Ranges and the Peninsular are roughly an hour and a half from the city. Both cruises involve going to a certain area and then kinda driving around in circles for a while on all the fun roads (if that makes sense) - as oposed to say the GOR which is just a long drive there and back. Warburton is probably an even longer days drive than GOR if you do the mountains as well.

But the beauty of both the Macedon and Penisular cruises is that you can decide on the length of driving based upon conditions as the time gets closer. But because of their proximity to the cbd we can probably have more stops between runs rather than 4hrs of continuous driving followed by an extended break.

Hope that helps.

Just wondering, are the cruises open to anybody?

Open to anyone that wants to come along mate.

More the merrier!

OAK - We can put a rough 'total' KM's travelled, does that help you out?

ie, i'll set my trip meter from my door step and check it on return?

But that is only once we decide on a route... as we aint actually 'planned' this yet.

So it's hard to say.

That would probably be all that we could offer.

Otherwise we are just going to spend too much time organising each cruise (on a chance we might not even do it)...

hence there will be less time for us to organise more cruises for all you boys.

      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.
