Hey everyone, my name is Stephen, i live in New Mexico (It is part of the US :)) and have owned a 240sx s13 for a while now, and just recently decided to buy a new power plant, as mine was knocking, has metal in all but one cylinder, and is misfiring on the 3rd intermittently lol. in short, it is a POS. So I found a rb25, completely disassembled, with a greddy e-manage, completed s13-rb25 wiring harness, Front mount intercooler, z32 tranny + rb25tranny, uncracked s13 dash (Super hard to find here in the states), with oil squirters installed (now im looking for oil orifices) all for $1300USD! So now, I plan on putting another ~3k into it, and hit the 350-400rwhp mark on a very safe tune (i think a stronger HG, bigger turbo, and upgraded fuel line + injectors will get me there easy)

anyways, since I can't go to the meets or anything in Australia, I think it is rather obvious I am here to learn from all you guys, and buy your stuff! lol

I've already spent a few hours running through a lot of build threads, and have a good idea of the direction I want to take my RB.

look forward to dealing with you guys more!

-Stephen

    • 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
