Can anyone tell me about OAT technology coolant? Not sure if it is a BRAND or a TYPE of coolant as I found some reference to Organic Acid Technology TYPE coolants on the net... anyone here have some experience with them? Apparently its a non-glycol... all the coolants we have at work are a glycol - either ethylene or propylene glycol - which I understood was a good thing, right?

The reason I asked is the workshop I got my service done at put that coolant in and I was wondering where, besides sourcing it from them, I could get it from..

Yeh I haven't heard anything about it either, apart from the small amount I found on the net which I'm not sure if it was meaning the same stuff. I think I'll just get it all flushed with my 100k service, Its doing its job tho, can't be farked flushing it myself atm..

Well just so you guys are warned - I asked a radiator mob about the coolant, they said that it is an Organic Acid and that was the brand name, It had also done some damage to my radiator, namely eating the rubber seals for the end tanks and causing it to leak :P ... I also had another problem with the radiator - that being the core was corroded from the inside out :) , I don;t know if they coolant and this problem are related but I can safely say I won't be using that coolant again.

      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.
