Yo, got a gtr sitting here in pieces, been like this 3 months, im over it (tensioner bearing died just b4 i had it booked in to get the noise checked).. Just needs the timing checked (i'm scared it skipped a tooth so will need to check cam timing and whether engines tdc) and belt put on, then front cover and belts, i can do radiator and all that myself easily enough.. just to lazy to put it back together, anyone know a joint who will come out and do it for me? or anyone wanna come gborough and do it for like 200 bucks.. it's probably 1-2 hours work max.. have a full garage with all tools etc, but cant be fkd towing it to a joint and i'm paying 2800 insurance a year for a car i cant drive z

the engine was still running okay (with the noise) it wasn't till one morning it didn't start and probably only turned over a few times.. i'm hoping the belt just slipped back a few teeth, screwed up the timing and that's why it didnt start.. otherwise will sell it as is.. so over skylines now

    • 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.
    • 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.
