This could be a mistake on Orgins behalf. If they honour it i dunno.

So I rang around. Cheapest I found was $330, which is significantly under the $449 RRP for an Optima D34 yellow-top.

For those who are interested in a cheap Optima, talk to BRS (Battery Replacement Services) - these guys were great, even came out and dropped off the Optima to me, so I didn't have to go for a drive :)

went to a weight bridge tonight on the way home from work. The 33 with a full tank of fuel, spare tyre all the interior etc came in at 1387kg with a few little things done already. pretty much on the money, also pretty heavy for what it is. Planning on getting it under 1300kg (couldnt care less if its 1299) over the next few weeks while still keeping it as a daily and full of fuel. Lets see how this goes

Where do ya go to weigh it? I'd love to weigh the GTR with a full tank of fuel... it'd be heavy as hell thanks to dynamat (and its heavier still with my 120 kilos when I'm in the damn thing) but yeah... very curious.... otherwise I gotta pay someone with corner weights and a hoist

-D

lol thats funny as.... probably still worth getting the corner weights done heh

-D

Or any dump - every dump has a weighbridge that you drive over on entry. They will almost always tell you what you weigh if you just rock up to the gate.

    • 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.
