Your best bet is to take the car to a engine reconditioner and just say that you dont want it back till it runs

sounds like bent valves hope they havent made there way in to the pistons

good lesson for everyone to learn to bad it had to be you to show everyone

somethings should be left to the professionals

so ive confirmed my issue not a belt valve... it is infact a snapped valve. and what appears to be piston ring in the top if the chamber...

plan off attack is not get a few of the local stag boys together to help remove the head...

if the piston ring is damaged i will need to go in threw the sump :P... theres a seriously good chance now that both the top of the piston, and side wall is seriously hacked!

not going to be a cheap exercise!... how ever all other spark plugs were in tacked, and didnt appear to have any stay shit flying around... but only time will tell 100% !!

do i need to pull the rocker covers off b4 the head? had a look and i cant really c many attack points for the head lol... hopefully once the intake mani and turbo is fully off it will expose more bolts!!

any of you adelaide boys that want to come round sunday to give me a hand along with a few others, would be fantastic!! ive msgd a few of ya already :O

    • It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.
    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • 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.
