There's a steep driveway at my Mum's place which would abrade low lips like nobody's business at the bottom concave section.

Then I installed a rubber speed hump set. It took half an hour to get the positioning just right & then the masonry bolts went in.

The lower lip only faintly brushes the rubber hump now :)

Did the dodgy and used a plank of wood and some bricks... looks so shabby

Will look @ investing in some of those rubber speed humps.... I have the same problem with the curve @ the top of the driveway.

Have to reverse up to get out too! Skidding all over the place with the semi slicks ....0.o

I made a custom lip that was 20mm shorter than standard. Extreme approach but I have the driveway from hell (but ain't moving cause cost us just about everything we owned to get into this place).

Oh and have the wood and bricks too to get out of the garage to the incline on the driveway (goes up then down onto the street).

Pick and shovel with hard work or a bobcat and cash.

I made a driveway, carport, and level paved area all by hand.

It helps to have construction experience so you get the drainage and retaining walls right.

Second hand pavers and my own ute made it cheap.

My back says i should have paid for a bobcat.

>_<

      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.
