All good man, Im really after the hoses under the plenum as i vaguely recall someone telling me they split in their old age...

Or maybe after watching your car piss coolant at the calendar cruise i realised that sucks and i'd rather not have to pull the motor again :)

7 hours and no luck...

you need a break, eat & drink for brain power, do some reading on the forums, and the solution/problem will become clearer.

We had the works !

Drinks and Rob (Not a Pulsar) on the phone giving us guidience, also Google was a bit of a mate on the night.

A lot of it was testings up the road so pulling in and out = sucked. But, some boys on SAU reckon they've got the fix. My Spark plugs may not be "gapped". So will check that and HOPEFULLY it'll stop misfiring.

Trying to figure out Overheating when sitting above 110kph..

Fresh coolant and clean, no luck..

New thermostat and more coolant. time to test again, fingers crossed.

Slight change in temps across radiator, so maybe some minor blockage there, look into a proper flush next, or just upgrade it as I want to do that anyway..

Are you painting them another colour?

I really wouldn't mind painting mine

I was considering painting the centers Black but after the enormous sh!tfight I've had stripping them I might leave them as is.

I do like the result alot. You reckon I should paint Black or not?

Much better than the uneven goldish crud they had when purchased. (SAU Third or Fourth Handies)

I have painted some R32 GTS-t rims before and it was a heap of fun. Not bad result either.

Looks good. Painting those wheels black may be too unnoticeable. How much did all the stuff you need cost? Im convinced I must do this now.

Any ideas what colour wheels would suit maroon?

So far the paint stripping exercise has cost me less than $40. Paint stripper gel and wire brushes. I bought some brushes to use on a drill but they got little use. Hand job FTW!!!

The painting of the GTS-t rims was all done with cheap cans from Supercheap (except the primer) but if I do it again, I would use better paint like engine enamel as it should be tougher and longer lasting.

OT. I washed my car and drove it to "WHEELS" at the Racecourse. With the wind and dust, it is dirtier now than before I washed it! :(

Show pics of car with rims you want to paint for colour choice suggestions... Black, Gold or Bronze should be good with Maroon though. :)

      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.
