I guess so, Were they part of the "Other Team"? You know when they talk of Touring car racing of early last decade they use the phrase,

"There were the Skylines and then there was everyone else"

Haha, thats pretty funny. I've lived in Melbourne for all of my 26 years and not once have I been to Thomastown, Lalor,Epping or Mill Park. Like I said, I have no idea where any of them even are.

But yeah, I had no idea about anything to do with VLs. too young I spose

I caught the car bug from an Alpina C2 BMW. Then when I discovered Skylines that was it for me. There were suddenly no other cars which interested me. Except perhaps the Supra.

and if all else fails its a good old Exa, or a rajab tuned sumfinorother.

But seriously the number of worked cars to male ratio is exceptionally high.

For example, we're always there on sundays near edgars rd quix (nex to tha supamarket) workin on cars n shit, and every car that goes by that's dun up slows down hasa look, sometimes has a chat, and sometimes u get the occasional good lookin chick walk by and have a chat too... is all good fun.

The scene is well n turely there in thomo/epping... it just needs to get organised... like a Northsyeeeeed SAU VIC :D

yeah, there are JETs driving around everywhere these days.

but my point is that when the VLs were dominating the streets, there was plenty of drag, thrashing & burnout action back then but now everyone only likes to look good while driving in their jap import with big 5" chrome exhaust tip ;-)

Funky,

are u talking about Gladstone st? if so, i always drive past when going home from Bi-Lo.

    • 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.
