Hope all is well with John, Tim and Co.

where am I gonna take my car now, they know it all too well :)

Huge fire started in the hoby shop and appears dodgy wiring from previous tenants started it. Doubling up multiple double adapters in a sealed front cabinet. The intense heat actually bent huge RSGs where the main fire was in the hoby shop which relocated early this year to the opposite end of the building upstairs.

Our office was fairly dry from water from above just wet on floor there so lucky I guess. Paul your car was one of the first out.

Late yesterday have the phones working although operating from dyno room. Showroom power should be up today and workshop not too far behind. Our side of the building is OK structrally although may be some distruption whilst building above. The engineers are coming today to check it out and advise and a chance they may have to fence it all off which will be very bad.

So phones working, fax working, and workshop operating in part out of dyno room mainly, until power comes back on. Orders being processed from today. Thanks for everyones support. We will only be bigger and better after this and keep smiling.

My sister is constantly doing deliveries to the printers in that same complex and told me about it. She gave me the same information that John has posted, possible dodgy wiring within the hobby shop's premises. Apparently the current owner of the hobby shop was emotionally gutted as he had a lot of personal items stored there, including some models he had built when he was young(er)...

She took this shot of the place and sent it to me. Not a great shot because it's from a phone, but it gives you some idea...

Good to hear it's had minimal effect on UAS, John.

its great to hear is all is well and everyones cars got out. Has there been any further word on the structural damage to the building?? i went past on Sunday and saw that massive f*#k off I beam up stairs that was bent like a banana!!!!! only a huge ammount of heat could have bent that beam like it has been.

    • 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
