Blue 17k. Sounds like a steal. I know Spilmer was very particular dont know how its been treated since.

White one is at 25k. Will need to look at it in the flesh to make a decision but I know he spent more than that on it with the motor and other go fast bits.

+ it has most of the gear ready to swap out the 35r and put in a new precision or efr turbo

Seems like a lot.

yeah, go buy the white one! :P

In your opinion (or anyone elses), is a motor at that sort of age making that sort of power a ticking timebomb, or just something you'd want to do one day soonish? or am I misreading the ad and the engine itself is actually cactus already?

I wouldn't be confident in it lasting any significant amount of time, especially with the Power FC in control

I don't get the pfc hate? I mean they're an old design and don't have the features of newer designs, but is there something intrinsically wrong with them aswell?

There is something intrinsically wrong with the design of the RB engine, which is calculating crank position based on cam position, this leads to unstable timing signals. Having a power fc does not allow you to do away with the CAS and fix the issue.

Also it has no knock control, so combined with the timing jitter you engine doesn't stand much of a chance in the long term.

The hate is justified in this one.

Sean agrees with you, but also says the performance gap between a Motec and a Wolf/haltech/link/vipec is now next to nothing so the extra expense is no longer justified.

Currently googling new wheel combos for the 33. Dont know whether to stick with black rims or move onto white.. Also looking at some 16's i can fit bigger tyres on

drags?

15's will fit with some small caliper mods i heard?

When do we get promoted from car club friends to real friends?

I'm gonna say when you've achieved one of the following:

I've slept/passed out on your floor/with you on the floor lol

I've shirts off man hugged you

You've received >5 drunken phone calls from me

Probley other reasons but those spring to mind

not sure if i have done the over 5 phone calls.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      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.
