I know they have factory HID's, but from the first pic it did still look pretty yellow. Judging from the new above pics it doesn't look that bad so maybe it was just the way the first pic turned out. What kelvin are the factory ones?

I would guess 4300k

Yeah i think my iphones camera is pretty crap with the white balance so thats why it looks yellow, but in person its very white. Starts off blue till it warms to a white. Definitely obvious when you put the high beams on and see how yellow they are in comparison.

Cheers.

Yeah those pics don't do it any justice.

Coming from a series 2 GTST to a GTR with xenons I noticed a huge difference.

Definetly not 6000k, I'd say more like 4000k.

Nice car mate! Did you take some of those photos from Marysvile/Lake Mountain??

yeah mate that's where those photos were taken. It's an awesome run up to warburton, through the reefton spur, back through marysville and then through the black spur! The reefton spur is an awesome road most of the time there is little to no traffic, great scenery and awesome twisties! I advise people to try it if they haven't been.

Cheers.

Know the feeling mate! Was the same with mine, 10 years wanting an R32 V-spec and to finally drive away in one is an awesome feeling. Had mine about 7-8 months now and it is only a weekender, which still means even just cruising into town for a coffee with a mate feels like something you have to tell people about, every drive is an event.

Hey Dan!

Car has been great, been treating me well, except for the cops. Got pulled over doing 75 in a 80 zone. Cop tells me how much he likes the car and that it looks in awesome condition really clean etc. etc. Then after all that praise he tells me to pop my bonnet and starts to find stuff to pin me for!

Asking me "So what you got running this thing Power FC?" "How come your wastegate actuators are silver colour not bronze like the stock", "Looks like the guy that did you RWC missed one vital thing, your Profec 2!" All the while i'm trying to act dumb. In the end he gets me for a boost controller and sends me an invite to join the EPA noise and emissions party. D'oh. Welcome to the world of Skyline ownership I guess. At least he was nice enough not to fine me for having a defective car (boost controller).

Hows your EVO going? Had the time to do anything to it yet?

Here is a shot of the ol' beast with my new DSLR.

      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

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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.
