Just a heads up, and a reminder to be careful I suppose

Left my 33 GTR parked out of the garage for the first time in months, for not even more than two days, and someone has broken in and messed the ignition barrel up. They couldn't get it going before they got scared off, possibly due to some tricky electrical rearranging I've done, and there's no other damage, so I got pretty lucky. New set of locks will fix it, and it's good incentive to stop being lazy and finish installing the alarm properly.

It's pretty sad that you can't trust leaving your car anywhere, but I guess that's partially my fault for this car in that suburb. Bit of a shock having previously lived in a country town where there were many nights I forgot to even put the windows up :rolleyes:

Yep

My Skyline got broken into in what I thought was a safe suburb full of oldies...except I had parked it on the street for years.

Motorbike got stolen recently, locks alarms and everything. Thieves everywhere. Trust no one.

      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.
