Added to the Steady growing stock pile

Purchased a 2nd hand Turbo via import Monster for a high flow upgrade, to prepare for the inevitable ceramic wheel failure.... (78000kms current)

Purchased the new Greddy Profec boost controller threw just jap (its been annoying watching the gauge and feeling the factory boost settings dropping of back to 7-9psi.)

Looking forward to installing all at once

Oil and filter this weekend, first car I have owned in which i changed oil on time instead of kays.

Used to doing 30+k a year, new job, new (old) car which wifey & young daughter get shaken up and now I'll be lucky if a crack 10k a year.

On the down side, found a ruined drivers inner CV boot and probably a dead breather in the gbox, I have a smurf bood dribble down the box...

Explains the gearbox oil smell after it gets a few revs.

Pain in the A though.

Nice! If you dont mind me asking - how much did the turbo set you back?

I installed my aux cable to the TV tuner on the weekend and replaced a few cracked vac hoses - not much, but its something!

The last Hypergear turbo took a month, as Tao was in China. It's a very good idea if you can get one, although you will never get that sort of money back for them over here, not unless they are running perfectly.

Perhaps I can loan my spare out for a small fee? I would love to have a highflow on the shelf to help customers out, but I can't justify having $1300 tied up in a turbo sitting in the garage.

The Nm35 2nd hand turbo was $437.50 thats delivered to my place inclusive...

Today

Purchased Blitz catback exhaust...

Purchased R34 GTT RDC brand replacement cross drilled dimpled, slotted front rotors ill get the new callipers once I do a bit more research & bargain hunting...

roof racks mounted, rear cargo net also put on, not sure what it's supposed to mount down to, so just have it hanging from the room like a net

hopefully put the suspension in over the week, have so much to do :(

I fitted my replacement headlight in my sII and the light is poiting waaay to far down, tried to adjust it up with the screw and the electric adjustemnt fights me and just moves it back down...am i missing something here on how to adjust it up?

make sure that the globe is sitting correctly into the fiting it might be sitting up on one of the tabs

My mechanic relearned the throttle body. What a missiin that was. No body touch your throttle body (besides craig). I was unaware before and now after going through the mishap wouldnt recommend it to anyone. On a lighter not received the oem hids that I will be installing this week.

It is a bit of an epic if you don't get the timing of each step right, but a bit of practice gets it done.

You'll like the HID's. ;)

    • 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
