how many ks on your speedo at the moment? like my car has done 70k when i first got it. i confirmed this from the brake pads. The front was replaced with an aftermarket ones with about 50% left on the pads. And the rears are still the original brembo brake pads. So these are the little things that you can see. Tie rods see wheter they are still originals or not.

About 37000kms on mine. Still the original brakes as far as I know - has 'nissan' on them. Pads still have plenty left on them.

Pretty sure my rod bushes need replacing.

Based on the condition of the interior I reckon it is likely to have not been driven much.

Still, its therefore been sitting around for a long time and I dont really know which is worse - a car with higher km's or a car thats been sitting doing nothing for years.

I have major issues with my shock absorbers tho - rear right was leaking when I bought the car so had to have the rears replaced under warranty. Fronts still dampen but there's noticeable (but not too harsh) vibration from the front end (could be bushes), although steering still feels ok.

I guess the bottom line with any import (or any 2nd hand car really) is just to play it cautious for a year or so as you find out the actual condition of the car.

      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.
