Fuchs oil saved the day! only damage was bigend bearing #1 started to come apart, but it didn't spin, and didn't mark the crank. So all I need to do is replace the bearings and it's good to go

Are those bushes one piece or two? I've been using bushes similar to the link below for around 8 years will no issues. My car isn't a track car, but is driven reasonably hard at times...

The current ones are 2 piece, but i've also killed a set of single piece ones. they are the softest part on the front suspension, so it's understandable that they are the first to fail under circuit loads

My 20 cents worth;

A GTR (4wd) front swaybar won't fit a GTST (2wd).

I was looking back through this for some info, and I came across this. Fun fact, a GT-R swaybar does fit on a Gtst. I don't run one, but I recently fitted one up to another Gtst.

Beauty, i've been looking for a while for confirmation on this.

Did you end up going for speedflow fittings on the cooler or go full braid?

I'll keep on with the pushlock fittings, but i'll replace the sus one with a speedflow one. I'm still waiting for my bearings to arrive, they are made in Launceston by ACL, shipped to the mainland, then bought back.

I've been working on the car but forgetting to update the thread, the car is currently on jack stands with the engine out. I just sent the shocks off for a revalve, and I shoudl have the engine back together this weekend.

Well I have finally got my engine back together. just waiting on getting the flywheel buzzed, and it can go back in the car.

Shocks are back from being re-valved, and are back in the car.

    • 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  
    • 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.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
