Ok, I'll be waiting for you at Lakeside next saturday.

Hell no, that place is where nice cars go to die.... I refuse to put my car on that track.

But I ripped straight past you around the turns at QR.

Ill fix my battery clamp, then bring it on (for the first two laps then im unable to stop the car lol)

This particular ls1 can corner :P

Yeh I got your back Nick ;) lol

It can corner. Cornered very well after fitting the coilovers. But was a little drunk at the time also.

I don't have your back but captain. Tom is doing a great job of being all over it ;)

Chris, I might have to check out this clay bar of yours that you mentioned.....was just checking out some youtube vids, never used one before.

Its good shit mate. You can borrow mine if you want

Yeh I wouldn't mind trying it out out on a little patch - I take it that you have to use it with a form of liquid polish as a lubricant?

You would be correct sir. I have a detailing spray to use with the clay bar

Nice! Did I ever end up showing you the dents in my bonnet?I dare say that I'm gonna have to get the whole bonnet fixed and resprayed at some stage...it doesn't look like it from a distance but it has at least 5 decent hail stone dents in it and some pretty bad stone chips on the leading edge above the grill =/

Lubricant spray for clay bar? Sawft! Mix some car wash and water in a spray bottle and that will do. ;). Just needs to be a slippery solution.

Yeh it's a type of polishing compound with a wax mixed in...may as well polish/wax it while you're scrubbing away

that's the way we do it at work. The detailing spray came as part of the clay bar kit I purchased, otherwise I would be using car wash

Yeah you have shown me the dents on the bonnet. I'll give you a quick quote now to fix it all. Thousands

Clay strips off all wax and polish. You're essentially waxing and then ripping the wax straight off. Clay takes it back to pure paint.

You are correct sir

    • 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.
