nope, but you buy it, swap all the good gear into an road registerable one, and robert is your mother's brother

still left with a useless car...would rather do that with a tough rx7 or something...the mx5 is a hairdressers car...we've established that at great length already....see the mike thread as reference.

while it may have the image of a hairdresser's car, they're light, nimble, and would outhandle pretty much any skyline out there, even when in close to stock form....

not saying i like them, as they're underpowered, but they're not bad

depends if

A) I can use it for free.

and

B) how long for.

well put it this way, i went out tehre on sat, got there at 10, left at about 2...but we could have it all day if we wanted...my mates the head mechanic of the workshop :P

what u want to do?

can we get a 1j conversion done in a day??? lol How good is this mechanic?

he's good, but i doubt he'd want to do that lol

Out of interest sake, yeah.

ok rang him then. he said to ask u if u had ALL the necessary parts to do it in a weekend, as it needs to be out of the workshop by monday. also he doesnt really want to do it, as it's a pretty big job.

    • 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
