What went bang?  Find the cause of the fuel smell?

Lucien.

nothing's gone bang (yet). When I'm on boost above 0.5bar or about 50% throttle my turbo screeches like no tomorrow, Nath took a quick look at it last week and confirmed that it was the exhaust manifold gasket as well as the turbo gaskets. I've got some other crap to deal with too unfortunately (car's still running really rich, only getting 300kms per tank).

My car is exactly the same, except the whistle/screech is more evident at low throttle and once warm (metal expands closing gap) goes away. Already gone through replacing it once: time to do it again shortly :):rant::) (horrible, horrible, horrible job).

PFC on the way too... weeeeeeeeee... hopefully get some decent economy soon!

sounds like a similar problem to mine. at about ~7% throttle (looking at the avcr), i get this high pitch whistling sound which really shits me

not sure what it is :)

Most likely a gasket, probably on the exhaust manifold (they warp over time from expanding/contracting). Usually it means you have to get the flange resurfaced and new gaskets.

Up side is it should be easier with a single turbo setup (rather than the GT-R's nightmare).

Spotted a blonde chick filling up at the Mobil in a black 33 with the front bar missing... also had a number 6 on the side... musta been to wakefield or something ... had rims onda front but stockies on the back.

I was da one who told your rear tyres were a bit flat...

    • 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
