hi guys, i have the following setup on my 26,

post-26632-0-64060100-1316757839_thumb.jpg

Now i have got a factory water/oil cooler but obviously not much in the way of lines. From this diagram it looks like it doesnt get any dedicated flow, it comes out of and back into the same pipe, is this what really happens?

I do not have all the factory gear to put back in but i can make it up out of fittings etc. once i know what im doing.

Cheers

from your photo and the diagram i'd say that it gets a feed (or is it the return?) from the water hose and then joins back to the block. there looks to be a water outlet on the block below number 2 (when counting from the left) cylinder. the diagram seems a bit incomplete.

yeah thats what i thought, it just seems to be missing some of the gear. from photos of the factory setup that ive seen it looks like it basically is fed before and returns after the one metal tube in my pic, but that just seems to me to not really guarantee it gets any actually flow, as it would be a more restrictive path than that tube.

I guess i could just try it and see if oil temps are controlled or not but its very hard without rego!

i might try and check if i have that 2nd fitting you spotted, i dont remember blocking it but was a while ago

      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.
