well here's the update.

removed bent bit of exhaust and replace with pipe for the meantime.

went to heasmans to check that car was straight and alingment was good. thankfully everything was fine.

washed car to try and remove the kilos of dust all over it.

heading to oran park tomorrow to get back on the horse.

and for those keeping up with the lingo.

blown engine = B-man'd, or D-man'd

drag explosion = Ben-man'd

circuit wall love = brisbied or possibly just "doing a fatz" who is renowned for being attracted to concrete. :sleep:

OZGTR and I are going to go out for a little play tomorrow. GTR jason is coming out too so it should be a ripper. john will be polishing his helmet though so we'll have to carry on without a zed.

richard does the spare fit in ok. the boot floor was a bit squashed. good to see you out there on the track not like the others who only like to bag you. there must have been oil on turn 10 becasuse it slippery.

well I got back on the horse today. out at oran park. A little tentative at first as the turn 10 EC excursion was my biggest off so far by a long way. I suddenly found myself noticing where all the walls are! got over it after about 3 laps. had some fun. got the exhaust fixed yesterday and took the car to heasmans to make sure it's all still straight and that the alingment was ok (which it was on both counts thankfully). next week will have it all fixed up as looking at it damaged is just a reminder.

Thanks for the encouragement greg and the excuse for me. haha :) I hadn't thought of oil, but it certainly was a savage loose. looking at the tape I think you could be right as I was a little bit off line and as I turned in car just snapped backwards. I had time to get about half a turn of opposite lock on, but it didn't do anything. After it happend I thought I must have just been slow to correct, but looking at the in car tape I was on the wheel pretty rapidly but just to no effect. I do remember a torana was putting oil down around 9/10/11 and 12. hey it works for me!

How is your car? Darron was saying just the lightest touch?

It was a good thing I was out at Oran today. Glen Seton was there testing a sports sedan and as some of you guys know the seat in my car is out of Glen Setons old FPR V8 Supercar. I told him about it, and he signed it for me! Nice guy.

    • 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
