Jasons pics give a fair idea as to how they look however as mentioned in real life they are so much better!!! So much so that on valentines night i was to busy staring at the dash being lit up that cops had their sirens on following me, i got booked doing 94 km/h in 70 zone, my fault really but i was to busy concentrating lookin at my new dash, I was mesmerised like i was a mosquito flying into one of those elctric zappers! so $150 and 3 points later i still have my nice mesmerising glowy dash :-)

Kyles good point!! Now for me to scrub Troy off my IOU list i will have to meet you guys at the gym this sunday and i will give him a good training session.... $10 says he won't show.. :-) ehehe!!

Ummmm well Ummmm yes...... i'm not normally a bad driver or a hoon as you know, but was in back streets 70 zone on the way to mums in 5th gear and was showing my new lady friend the dials not realising how fast then all of a sudden *Siren* i pulled off the road so my car was 3 quarts off the road and then over the loud speaker 'GET YOUR CAR OFF THE ROAD' I felt like a full on crim!! so yeah in the end 3 points and $150... spewing huh!

I'm just glad i didn't get yellow sticker, i have to learn to try and think of positive things, they popped my bonnet and went over my car, they saw my air filter and got a bit upset but i apologised and said would get permit, they were agrresive to start with but i guess if your nice enough and apologise and be polite then they calm down, there are some police that no matter what you say or do they are mean however these guys were pretty good in the end, it could have been a lot worse than it was so for what i got instead of what i could have had it was ok.

bl on the fine dood...

i dont have many points left :) i lost 6 in 1 weekend... and i only had nine before that...so do the math :D

its crap but thats life....i didnt buy my car to drive like a nanna....but i dont speed anymore...

oi jase, whats the plan this sat? go to evo r? what time etc etc? address? thanks mate... who else it gonna be there...? zanda>?

fane: just waiting on the last 3 sets to arrive .. I've just spoken with the guy, and they *SHOULD* be here this week

I will call him tomorrow and Friday and confirm when they've arrived.

Assuming they do arrive, it is easier for him if we get there earlier, so I was hoping we could get there at 9ish on Saturday ..

I'll post more as soon as I know :D

at this stage the weather this weekend looks like a pearler.

I will probably put mine in when they get here - or on saturday morning....

how long did it take everyone else? if I leave 2 hours is that realistic? never pulled the cluster, but I've pulled the dash surround hundreds of times.

The cluster itself comes out after the dash in about 4 mins. 3 plugs at the back and 4 screws from recollection.

That can them be taken quickly inside from the heat :D

You can get to the dials then sevles in about 2 mins. But the placing of the white bits is... "fiddly" (F**king things)

oh..as a word of advice the speedo dial must be completly removed from the house (3 screws behind it) for the boost gauge white bit to go in)

And the tach/temp/fuel is the hardest.

Have fun!!

    • 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. 
    • 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.
