Decided to take the head off to check the head gasket and replace it. Also it would make getting the manifold studs out a lot easier.

Head gasket was in good condition, and the head seems to look alright also. Cut my hand open getting the head studs off.. slipped and gashed my hand on the firewall.. -.-

The head is now off, and i plan to put the new intake and exhaust studs in, assemble the plenum, fuel rail, etc onto head before re-installing it onto the block with a set off new head bolts (as they are TTY so I'm told).

Bought a few more things.. VHT paint for the throttle body, plenum, rocker cover, ryco fuel and oil filters, new extractors-to-cat gasket, intake studs etc..

Also have retaped the motor loom so it's all freshened up.

Finished product. Turned out quite decent for my first time using wrinkle paint.

Started cleaning and prepping the plenum

    • 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  
    • 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.
