Apparently I subscribed to this thread, so I get emails when people post in it :whistling:

The car is in my garage, covered nicely and on trickle charge. Hasn't been started for about about 2 years and I'm sure the tyres are out of round now :(

I've been busy with work and haven't had time to work on the car. I actually contacted Steve Thatcher back in September to enlist his help to finish the car so I can drive it since I don't have any time to work on it myself after starting my own company nearly 2 years ago.

He said he'd call after he got back from Targa, but I didn't hear from him and I let it fall off my to-do list again.

Unless someone wants to do a part trade for a Lotus Exige S or Porsche 911 GT3, I'm not selling the car... I still love GTRs and want to finish this, but sometimes life has other priorities :(

As a bonus fact, I also learned that I have a smiley named after me? :merli:

Brad - Are you the Brad from Autosports who had an S15 that knows Alan Smith?

Good to hear its still around and not being parted etc.

Yes same brad but I'm no longer at autosport. Left a couple of years ago and also ended up doing my own thing, race fabrication and preparation specifically.

Haven't spoken to Allan in ages, is he still around the scene or got himself out of racing?

    • 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.
