How be it?

I keep gettin directed here through google when i do searches, so i figured i'd finally register.

I don't own a skyline though... I own and drive a kouki S14 and i recently picked up an S13 silvia as the new project.

Since the 13 will have an rb25de, i thought it would do me some good to expand my library and find some info on this site for the build.

I've been on okinawa for almost a year and a half. I'll be here until 2012 unless the military lets me stay longer.

That's about it for now. lookin forward to findin some useful info here. :blink:

It's been a long time since I've been back here.

Since the last time, I've gotten rid of the S13 due to some issues with the guy I bought it from. I kept most of the parts so I could one day build it with a different chassis.

Just before that, I sold my S14 and picked up a 74 Corona Mark II.

I also bought a 97 Silvia to use as a track car somewhere in the middle there. It's shared with myself and two other people (Matt and Jerome).

When Matt came into the mix, he brought back the idea of the mutt-RB I was going to put into the 13. After some thought, we agreed we would swap it when we finally blew the SR. We never did blow it, but had a few electrical problems, so now we have the RB in. There's still some work to be done to get it running, but hopefully before the end of the year, we can have it done and take it to the track...since we both leave in March next year.

This was taken right after we dropped everything in. Matt is still working on the harness and megasquirt system, we're waiting for JP to get the flanges welded on the header then a few little things and we should be good to go.

      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.
