GTR looks rather nice in my driveway...


Recommended Posts

Just the thing to impress the neighbours ;)

Back from the US safe and sound (happy to be home) and picked this up straight away. Something about not operating heavy machinery whilst jetlagged didn't seem to matter.

These across the road from my house:

Cusco offset plate mount just ads to the toughness.

Adz: Block of Flats - that's where I live :(

If you know the street you'll have probably seen my Lada staining the footpath with oils and other fluids.

The previous owner also lived in Sth Yarra - I saw it outside Jam a couple of times before I bought it.

car looks horn does it have dual airbags??, all GTR's from 96 on series 2 had them along with 4 spoke steering wheel.. I thought series 3 started in 97?? Is it a vspec. Doesn't matter as logn as you are happy with it, just don't like seeing people geeting ripped off by dodgy used car salesmen. Series 2 had blue stitching on the seats.. dual airbags and the dash was a darker colour and texture along with the door trims. Bumper nostrils were optional. I looked at about 20 GTR"S before I bought my old one got told so many stories it wasn't funny including yeah mate its a vspec its got the sticker on the back...

Ice180: Yeah - has dual bags and is a real VSpec (finned diff and warning lamp in the dash)

Currently has a momo steering wheel - but they are replacing it with a standard one (with red stitch) as I want the airbag.

Keen to meet up with the Victorian people - is there a semi-organised cruise this Friday?

    • 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
