The stereo in my car was installed without a direct power or something so it resets every time you turn it off.

and I'm too much of a noob to re-do the install.

so.

it is a perfect timer.

and I start the car, get my bike on the back, bags in the boot, get in, belt on, in to reverse, and the radio says 12:02.

drive it at below 3000rpm and by the time I get to the freeway, the time says 12:06 and the engine temp is on half.

it has forged pistons too.

it has done about 50K kms since rebuild and has 323,000kms on the clock.

back awhile ago i use to do that, drive off without warming up, and the car feels really rough plus the gear change feels stiff too.

My 32 was just like that...so I used to set the turbo timer for about 5-6 mins and let it run while I ate my breakfast...very good idea

remote start while i'm brushing my teeth...

when i get in a minute later the climate control is just right, dvd is playing, cars starting to get warm and the back windscreen is demisted.

Waste of fuel + time in my opinion. Best advice is to get an oil temp gauge, and until its warm dont rev it.

I can't understand how anyone in their right mind would think warming up their car slowly is a good idea.

It just boggles the mind. A guy at work with a skyline does it, and i always say startin driving straight away, bring it up to temp sooner rather than later.

Most wear occurs when the engine is cold... so getting the temp up quicker is the best thing for it.

It doesn't mean rev it to redline it just means drive it like you would if your grandma was in the car until the temp gets up to normal.

      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

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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.
