I asked the owner if he would be ok with an inspection/compression test/car on hoist for my own piece of mind, and he said "No worries, you won't find one thing wrong with it, but you're more than welcome to conduct an inspection".

He also told the timing belt was replaced roughly 500km's ago and said he will show me the receipt next time I see the car. He also said he had it on a dyno roughly 12months ago with just the cat-back exhaust. Once again, he said he will provide me with all the documents on the next viewing :)

I reallly really need to sell my car, so I can give him a deposit and get him to hold the car for me!

I don't like you anymore :) LOL

There's nothing wrong with the car, it's a really nice cruiser to to head down south (which i do a fair bit of), and it is a cheap car to run and service etc. The E46 BMW motors and drivelines are good for 300,000km's +.

I just want to get back into a performance car that is still relatively comfortable for a daily commuter :)

Spoke with the seller this evening - am viewing the Midnight Purple GTR this wednesday afternoon around 4pm. I am looking forward to seeing the car, driving it, having a good chat with the seller about purchasing it and if all is good I will be paying a deposit and taking it to my mechanic this saturday (hopefully) to lift it on the hoist and do a full check over every nook & cranny on the car!

    • 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.
