I purchased Tomei crate engine back in Nov last year and most of the parts within the last six months

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to piece the story together, what made you take it off the road 2.5 years ago?

will be good to see what it really does after engine has been run in.

I have a mate with the same turbos and ECU and he made 470hp at the wheels on a stock motor, you should make at the very least that amount

I wanted to change the turbos as the nismo turbines were stuffed! I proceeded to do it myself (done it before). Then one thing led to another and decided to restore and build it. I already an N1 block, CP pistons, oil pump and engine mounts ready for rebuild. But Tomei crate engine was very hard to turn down for what it had to offer.

Ps If you had have sent the car and engine to Jase and I in November we could have had the car back to you that weekend :P

don't get me started. Gav sent me via tex MSG last nite an apology and then called me this morning to apologize again for the delay.

Ahh i see! Fair enough!

And so he bloody should apologise! No one pays upfront, and when you do you expect speedy service

can't wait mate. It should get close to the 400kw mark...............well that's benchmark I have set but I want the car to more reliable than anything else. So I'd be happy with 380rwkw.

400kw will be possible on 98, but that will be sort of the limit, it would piss it in on E85 though!

nailed it! Doesn't take rocket scientist to work that one out. He said to me he was sorry and that he needed a good kick in the backside (his own words). I've had more care from him within the last 24hrs than since I had given him 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.
