yeah just turn it anticlockwise .. it should come off .. i turn my stock one all the time .. and now its so damn lose .. when i tighten it .. its not straight anymore ! .. dont play with it too much with the stock one :D .. haha

+ 1 for plumers wrench. Get vice grips or nething like that. Not like ur gunna be using it again anytime soon. Who cares if you bugger it up getting it off. Get Hacksaw and cut it off. G clamp and crush it a bit might free it up. :bunny:

yeah man mine was tight the first time, but its so loose now i had to drop a bit of araldite on the thread, i just use vice grips to undo it everytime i need to, clean the thread out with hot water and a paddlepop stick and then re-araldite it when im doing it back off...

i only goto to extremes because i had a nasty experience where my gearknob was so loose i just pulled it straight off coming down from warp speed and into the back of another dudes ute :wave: not happy jan.

    • 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.
