Sandown yesterday, cracked into the 19's. Can certainly see more time in there too which is good - particularly around the sweeper (and fixing the ABS issues!). Put some high density foam around the

Nice curve. Do they make them for men?

Picked the car up yesterday. Unfortunately I wasn't able to drive it due to a leaky brake line I grabbed from wreckers as a temporary measure. Dyno chart shows normal tune (032) and against the fina

Any chance you could post some photos up fo the new front and rear window seals...

Also, did you run new rear quarter windows?

Will see what I can dig up.

Yep went with some new quarters - the stockpile of new parts I have been dragging around for the past few years are finally getting used.

Funny you say that....I was just looking at import monster :turned: I want them bleck though.

I also spotted these

I think they would look great and just need nismo stickers to suit (would fit them on my 17in advan AO48 semi's rather well)

It's the same seal front and back - sits down in and forms a channel. The urethane holding the window in is what really stops and channels the water down the pillars.

You can see here at the corners how it doesn't work - it's only cosmetic, and the other aftermarket seal options sit up over the whole thing. Going to try nicking it with a knife on the front and see if it sits ok, if ok I will do the back as well. You can see the urethane sitting behind. I would probably go the factory seal my time again - but this being a track car I will no doubt have the opportunity to change the windscreen soon enough!

I do have the same seal on my 34 and it works fine, the corner isn't as hard, but I also think it would help to bunch the seal up a bit around the corners so it wrinkes on the glass (as per my 34), but doesn't leave a gap.

Otherwise now you just need some big anodized calipers. :) Settling for R34 AP/Alcon combo?

The 34 setup makes the most sense seeing I have hats and caliper mounts to replicate - however given the v8's have changed rotor size I am having a think.

I stocked up on ex v8 rotors so I have 4 spare pairs. I guess I can always go new however but somewhat defeats the purpose.

I need to have a look at those special ones you have there again now I am ready to talk brakes, and work out what you want for them and weigh that in. Chat next week unless you come up to DECA.

Off to Racepace for a check over, fluids, start up then tuning.

Should be ready to go around lunch time tomorrow - looking forward to seeing it fire up to put it mildly.

Nice seeing it out in the light as well and not cooped up in a corner! Wheels have been swapped for the 9.5 wides - will get onto getting them re-painted in the next few weeks. Also need to get all the clips or whatever to put the side skirts back on.

What's that rattling noise though (valve train?)

Nah it's something around the belts - I have my suspicions I may have left one of the bolts for either the p/s pump or alternator belt tensioner loose.

But I left it with them ... I know it's a little annoying having customers hovering over you while trying to work something out.

I thought it was coming from the belts as well but obviously hard to pick up.

Yes, let the pros do their job :)

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      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.
