Browsing through the web, I came across some Viper photos and it brought back some memories. The Viper used to be my hero car of all times, I had two plastic models all painted and polished when I was a little kid because I was so obsessed with it.

What are your childhood hero cars?

A large Mercedes Benz Sedan (now the S class, used to be C class at that time I think...).

I first became interested in cars way back in primary school, and the person who got me interested in cars was my grandfather & the Mercedes was his favorite car.

So it was mine too at that time. (now its around 2nd-3nd place after the skylines, tied with the BMW 7xxs).

Goes to show how young you are, or how old i am......

I have 3 cant really pick a winner, was the general lee, kit (that one shows my age) and dick johnsons tru blu falcon.

well my all time favourite car was a little known pommy car of the time

an old zephyr that Borneo's dad (Borneo with the ceffy in DA) had in my mums back yard that he used to race at Forrestfield and Wattle grove speedways here in Perth in the early 70's late 60's

also the XA /B falcon coupes from the great Bathurst days

mine was always and still is a nice slick black 67 corvette stigray, i wish i had one of those now....but when i was like 12 i started to like imports and fell in love with the 93 supra TT but that was just a phase and after owning one that had alot of problems i am very much over the supra and that is why i turned to the darkside and bought a skyline to piss all my mates that love their toyota's :)

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • 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.
