Hey Roy, didn't you have issues with underbonnet temps at one stage? How did you sort them out?

Yeh water temps of 320 deg Cand 820deg C under bonnet temps can easily be fixed with a $19 fire extinguisher...cheaper then one of those fancy radiators...meh what a waste of money:rolleyes:

All silly talk a side. Grab a tape measure. I think you will have troubel fittign such a thick radiator in the std position because of the power steering. Typically a 40mm seems to be an easier and equally effective fix ....and then there is always the $19 fire extinguisher:)

i will find out marcus. i think its bigger than that. But im not sure.

Its just hell bigger than the good ole 1987 Jap Spec one which is about as thick as a "toast-cut" piece of bread

Thanks mate, I spoke to him and he said that the 40mm is a bolt in solution with existing fan and shroud (for a 32 anyway) and the 57mm requires electric thermos and removal of shroud... didn't mention anything abour p/s pump...

I think Ben runs a 40mm in his 33R, so if it works for him in his 500kW beast a 40mm should be ok for my low power jobbie :D

The 40mm PWR is twin core and polish is cheap.:D

      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.
