thanks for the kind comments gt-rz! you hit the nailon the head! im sick and tired of bumping this thread back by reducing the price, it just conditions people to hold out longer. i know the market is flat. i have the car advertised on carsales at $21497. but i will definately negotiate with an sau user/member. i can hardly believe that ive had no bites. this car is an absolute weapon. sure you can pickthem up for $10/12k now and i dont expect to get the full cost of modifications back but i think the price is quite reasonable. you couldnt build yourself this car even buying a cheap stocker you would be up for over $30k!!!

i think in a word ; traction lol! when i bought this car back in 2000, i was 29 years old and single. now iam 36 years old ,married with 2 children and a mortgage. ive spent too much money on it to watch it depreciate anymore than it has already has. i still like rice burners but i need something with 4 doors ,half the power and twice the grip! lol! i look funny pulling up at kindergarten picking up and dropping of my son when the wifes got the patrol. i get alot of strange looks from other parents. cars f**king loud! my neighbours must hate me... i hope i can sell this thing soon. i think the way its going , if it takes too long i will be getting the evo9 instead. all the best with the sale of your beast sinistagtst!

    • 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
