Nah it turns too well. It is very twitchy up front. That and it bounces over the road with all the uneven surfaces in the mountains.

Sounds like it could have some epic toe out

think i might have to cut down my drinking.....

nnnaaaaahhhhh

It wouldn't suprise me if it did. I'm getting more circlip grooves machined into the bilsteins so I'll be able to lower to rear more once the suspension is in ill get a wheel allignment done.

dude its a 31 - lower it with an angle grinder

I was going to and I had everything ready to go on Sunday but when I got the springs off I found that they had the same circlip height adjustment as the GTR so I may aswell get it done properly. Saves it handling like a piece of shit and destroying decent shocks.

So the 31 has number plates now. I drove it home through the mountains

YES YES YES YES

Same as before. It doesnt go off the scale it just stays at like 3/4

just a thought - what about picking up an aftermarket water temp guage??

when my 180 decided to spit out its heater hoses at a track day my water guage jumped to 110degrees - whereas my guage on the dash was at like 3/4 - surely it should have been maxing out :down:

Oh is that all? That's only...90? that's no biggie :) just pretend it's not lying :down:

and is that running coolant or water to get so hot you can smell it?

On a 31 3/4 could mean anything from 45deg to 245deg :down:

Bah Colin DID get his licence back before i got my car back :( ha ha

Don't worry, he'll lose it again before you get your car back too :)

will be getting some gauges for eventually. I dont trust the standard ones at all.

Combination of both really.

    • 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.
