R32 from Ohio

Hey all. I’ve been lurking all the good info on this site for years now. Finally picked up my R32 a few months ago and finally decided to join. 

My R32 is kind of an odd ball. Best way to describe it is an Autech clone I suppose. It’s a 1989 gts4 sedan that came to the states already RB26 swapped appears to be r33/34 block. Full GTR front end, GTR rear, fiberglass rear over genders and a few little Nismo bits here and there. Ran half way okay when I got it. Drove it from Texas to Ohio in one day with no complaints. 

Since my ownership I have put a Haltech Elite 2000 in it as well as some general maintenance including Audi coil packs and harness. Car originally had a Mines ecu on it that dumped 300whp on a mainline hub dyno. This was followed by a 402whp run on the Haltech. 

The car is now undergoing a single turbo conversion using a Borg Warner AirWerks S257sxe and receiving 1250cc injectors, radium Rail, new fuel lines, walbro 525, flex sensor and some other bits.

      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.
