It was not a bad night really, the highlight for me was the chick at Mt Barker running through the car park telling everyone that the cops where gonna block us all in, then watching people running for there cars so they could get away, it made me lol so hard. It was like a scene from a F&F movie :)

Yeah it wasnt too bad a night! We turned off to Loberthal to look at the lights, but they dont start until next week :) small fail!

I spotted a few of you guys/your cars out, cant quite remember who exactly, but some nice cars btw.

The police didn't bother me last nite, as I'm all booked into regancy already ;) that would have looked pretty funny tho!

Hope all had a good safe nite!

Tow truck? What happened?

Was driving back from Melbourne in the mates Nissan Leopard, madly trying to make it back in time for the cruise... and then the battery + alternator failed...

2 tow trucks later in 2 different states, we made it home at 12am lol

nissan manufacturing happened lol

Lol so true. First, the car went into that 'limp' mode and he had no boost, then it fixed itself... and then it all died about 100k's later. Epic failure!

Next failure was when ringing up the RAA:

RAA: What kind of car is it?

Me: A Nissan Leopard...

RAA: ...Isn't that some form of animal?

Me: Yeah, and it's a Jap import

RAA: Oh... okay... will the RAA mechanic know what he is fixing when he see's it?

Me: Yeah, hopefully...

RAA: I'm going to have to Google this Leopard car after I get off the phone!

Mechanic arrives...

Me: Yeah, it's a stuffed alternator.

Mechanic: Okay, pop the hood...

*pops the hood*

Mechanic: Oh... um... this is turbo?

Me: Yeah

Mechanic: Okay... eh... *points to a random area of the engine* is that the alternator?

Me: Nah it's down there... *points to the alternator*

Mechanic: Oh... right... um... eh... well... I can't fix it so... um... let's just tow it?

Me: Good thinking :)

Spotted a silver 34 GTR with the plates VSPEC.2. Looked nice apart from the rear lights.

Was driving back from Melbourne in the mates Nissan Leopard.

I saw one for the first time earlier in the week outside the mitsi factory. Maybe the same one? It was silver/ grey from memory? I had to google it when i got home to see what it was..

    • 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.
