Morning Mangs,

Monday :(

On the bright side though... 2 day week! :D

how??

I have tommorrow and wed off (sort of) would love to know how you score a 5 days off..

heaps winning. Strayan as f*ck.

nah. What you needed to do was go "well now that you've given me those 2 days off for a 5 day weekend i'm hardly likely to turn up on monday and tuesday, so why don't you give me those off too"

Unfortunately, I've got a workshop to go to next week :(

T minus 4 hours and counting

similar setup here. last day of the week. tons of work....

is there noticeable improvements in ride with hubcentric rings? getting some longer wheel studs from gktech and wondering whether I should get some to go with my wheels and spacers?

you should, but 10mm slip ons are thicker than the hubcentric rings so they probably won't do anything.

What you really should do is get custom spacers made that match the hub center bore on the inside and the wheel center bore on the outside, then no need for rings!

what you should do is get the right offset wheels. Failing that you can buy hubcentric spacers.

it's not the offset of the wheel that's the issue, it's the fact that one sits flush with the guard where the other noticeably sits about 10mm in, and it's giving me the shits.

will google hubcentric spacers

but in general, are hub centric rings recommended on aftermarket wheels?

Heard that misso, It is very common with skylines. I dont think I have seen them the same yet.

ARC are a bunch of smart cookies. Their sidemounts bolt in just fine... its just when you go put the wheel arch lining on that stuff starts to get distorted. But still, its bolt on :P

Nothing to serious though, it can easily be secured by the bolts/attachers that do fit, and zip ties to do the rest, so its not going anywhere, but just a bit floppy.

There isn't. Maybe the kit came with a new lining when new? It only needs to go back 5-10mm. Like i said, the standard one fits over it with a little bending meaning osme of the other mounting poitns are out.

and don't get me wrong, i'm stoked with the cooler itself.

    • 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
