Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Morning all. So car just spazed out driving along 60kms 4thgear 3500 revs and all of a sudden the rev gauge starts spazing out, like bouncing back and forward between 0-3500 but the revs didn't change and as well the hicas light was having a slight seizure. Thoughts?

Faulty unit that reads the revs maybe?

Not sure first time its ever done it. Then later it fluttered between 3000-3500 with no actual rev loss to motor. :/ Strange. Didn't play up at happy laps.

sounds like it may be a result from happy Laps.

Also if ur car is spitting flames now and didn't really do so as much could mean its over fueling

Def over fueling you can smell the fuel from the cabin coming in from the window. Gotta find out why next exercise is getting injectors cleaned if not that then have to wait to grt computer done and get tuned

    • 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 ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • 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  
    • 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.
