here is another good one, but goes to 65 pages though

Titled Spanish tuner

some mods in the thread

those are "sin grooves" "that will make the mixture travel faster to the centre of the chamber, thus improving efficiency"

new clutch but maybe wrong splines?

lol there's an almost identical thread to this which has been sent to the wasteland, pretty sure the 'bag of sand in the intake' one was someone taking the piss, well thats what the original thread seems to say anyway.

BTW marc, the old GQ here has Exhaust Gas Recirculation from the headers back into the intake apparently for fuel economy or some other BS

plenty of cars have that. the magnas do, the pulsar does. but direct exhaust injection or whatever it was wasn't just a small pipe that allows a very small amount of gas through which is controlled by a valve. this was having the header pipes run over the top of the engine and into the throttlebody. there was NO actual exhaust outlet

here is the actual drawing the guy posted (with added fail comment)

LOL?

EGR- exhaust gas recirculation is to reduce oxides of nitrogen in emissions it is on a heap of cars and it only works when the car is at cruise throttle openings with the engine at operating temp. The amount of exhaust is only around 5% of total mixture though nothing like the DEI system schmatics previously posted.....

:P

What the hell is wrong with some ppl haha, it would have been easier to have spent another 15mins looking for the cap and putting it on, wouldnt have taken that long to find it surely.

Apparently some apprentice who used to work where I work ( ages ago ) couldnt get a wheel of and decided to cut the spokes with a angle grinder to get it of, only then to realise after it was of that he F**ked up haha.

    • 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
