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.

Alright, so i've compiled all the bits I need for ~270rwkw, only thing i'm unsure of is coilpacks. Would it be worth getting a set of Splitfires as a precaution before towing the car to Trent's? If so, there's a 2nd hand/nearly set on eBay for $450, is that steep or about right? Currently running stockies with no problems.

Can't remember what I paid for mine... think it was a little less than that though...

If you've got some time, I'd be ordering new OEM ones from amayama... be prepared to wait a few weeks though

Anyone got xforce catback here? how do you rate them??

http://www.xforce.com.au/products.php?make=FPV&model=101

can pick up a twin 3" for just over 1k new.

have had an xforce cat back and know a few others that have had them.

fitted fine and worked fine, some were silly loud others average loud, seems to differ depending on the model car.

i had 320kw on the stock coils with 190,000km

no point replacing them if they arent stuffed.

Hmm maybe i'll go with this for now. I've spent like 2k in the last few weeks on car stuff; that's a whole chunk of summer work down the drain. If they break down it's only like $150 for an extra hour of tuning I guess. My car has genuine 104,000 so might be okay..

I'm gonna wing it and hope for the best. The coils aren't cracked or damaged, and as titan said, no point replacing if they aren't stuffed... Only one way to find out - more boost!

Trent tuning it? He usually asks for new coils, either Splitfire or OEM, just so you don't waste his time. ;)

You should get that alloy intake today, I shipped it yesterday morning.

Yea Trent.. Okay I will keep an eye out for some splitfires then. Cheers for the quick postage, looking forward to seeing it; one of the final pieces of the puzzle! :D

Yeah try and fix any issues before you go to Trents

Otherwise you might have to wait a few weeks before you can book again

When you put in the 'new' coil packs might as well change your spark plugs too.

Probably even leave the cover off for easy access if Trent wants to double check anything

      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.
