Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! Stoked to hear your thoughts.

No its not from Zele-international... whomever they are.

Yeah it is one of the nicest condition imports inside and out that i have ever come across - even underneath is immaculate. Im inclined to believe that the 65,000km are genuine. There is no wear and tear on the seats at al, the brake rotors arent worn any more than youd expect for the km, no indication of anything being pulled off the motor (ie marks on boltheads/screw etc) and the stock radio hasnt even been removed ever. Very honest car.

Cant wait for the next cruise! Hopefully i can KEEP the bloody thing - missus is hounding me to buy a house! I'll know within 6 weeks if im putting it straight on the market for an even $30k or keeping it. Women.

Terrific car. If it were on the market in NZ I would seriously consider selling my house to buy it!

standard turbs... actually i guess the boost comes on early enough going by the guage, its just it doesnt start making serious mumbo till high in the rev range.

Thanks Unique1 (i can remember your last few usernames but not ur actual name haha)

I share your opinion on the bulky autech kit - seemed a bit large but still understated and bland compared to some of the other kits out there. I still dont like the side skirts at all - so if comeone has a set of Nismo or nismo replica sideskirts and wants a swap for genuine autechs - lets do it! But im starting to love the front bar. Looks good. The only other front bar id go for is the one in the thread i posted in the stagea classifieds section.

the name is Brad, i have a set of nismo sideskirts and they look identical to autech ones from what i can see except the little cut out grille things in the nismo ones.

Yeah the nismo ones have the flutes up the front, and if you look closely you can see the autech ones have a wierd spot 2/3 way toward the back where the bottom edge lifts up for some reason. You cn see it a lil in the first picture. Looks gumby. THere are a couple of other differences to such as the top edge on nismos that starts above the flutes angles down to the rear wheel arch, on autechs it is straight parallel with the bottom of the doors, the angled downwards edge on the nismo ones looks nicer. Just personal taste i guess, i like the look of the nismos a lot better.

if u were in perth i could sell u a set, i got a full nismo kit and a set of spare nismo sideskirts as well, i dont want any of it now, im more into the dayz kit and some fat rims like yokota13 has done, looks a treat and the kits arnt fibreglass either so they dont shatter if u hit em.

the motor pic of yours looks very very clean too, i think some nice rims on the car and it will look even better :blink:

Yeah rims are next - im going to put some decent semi slicks on the stock 17s and keep them for track days. For the road the car will get a set of 19 or 20" rims. Hard thing is the 20 - 30 offsets front and rear i think. The engine bay is very tidy on it. no grease, oil, coolant stains, worn bolts, loose bits or anything. all i did was hit the black with some so easy tyre rejuv and wiped it clean. Its immaculate under there.

Smooth car, Bob :/

    • 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
