You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Whoh looks great. Good job.

Did the car come factory option with double din? Looks too clean for an aftermarket dash.

Yeah. In japan they came with double din and auto climate control. I managed to get all yhe ducting. Looms. Motors. Sensors. Everything to do the conversion. Very hard to find complete. Hahaha. Very hard to find at all basically

Yes, to my knowledge. Game of risk. I forget what the barrier for GST and customs duties are.

I was thinking of buying an exhaust off rhdjapan or perfectrun as well and wondering same. Quick research suggested to me;

If goods are over $1000, pay tax on goods+shipping value.

I.e. item $950 + shipping $150 = total $1100, no tax

But item $1050 + shipping $50 = total $1100 PLUS tax (10% GST and maybe 5% some other fee?)

Can anyone confirm?

If you're buying multiple items, get them to send them separately...postage should be about the same cost given it goes by weight. Just more effort for supplier to pack the stuff.

Back in the day we used to mark them as trade sample or gift, which was void of tax and customs duties. Think they might have scrapped it though.

Okay cool :P thanks for all that.

Ill see what they can do.

I'm thinking maybe just getting the 950 insurance and If I need the insurance (which I never really have before) I've got like 3/4 of it covered.

Everything imported/exported needs a value attached, sample or not. Even if it is $0.01.

Middle muffler is a bit over 5.5", it's easily the lowest part. Gonna replace with a resonator and then see how far I can come down.

No more natural camber = wheels lookin pretty Mexican, hope vic roads don't say anything

I took out the centre muffler to avoid a defect for too low. Got EPA'ed instead fml

      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.
