Mohsen it's a farkin 32 not an xy gt. quit making all these gay dream plans and just get it on the road with fresh interior stuff and a respray.

Lol, f**k no. Might as well put in the extra work and do it

Right instead of slapping it together just to get it on the road.

She's not that bad, her eyebrows and serious expression in every photo just reminded of Uncle Leo and the arm tatt is bit...yeah. Would like to see her smiling in a photo...

EDIT: slightly better photos on her FB page.

Disagree re: r32 plan

Harder and harder to find a r32 which hasn't gone down the cheap thrashed path. It is better to see a clean r32 than some cheap and nasty with power because that power is nothing spectacular so it's lose-lose.

My opinion would be to restore a r32 gtr but 4dr's provide a different view

Good luck with the rebuild, in 5-10years time when everyone has moved on to their family/boring cars you will have something which wasn't discarded because of the cheap thrash mentality.

Similar example; look at all the kingswoods being restored. Everyone looking for shells including the basic 6cyl models.

Tl;dr

so its more like an investment?

Lol no. It's at the tipping point where there are no more clean r32's. p-platers can't buy them and full license holders don't bother.

Give it a couple more years and they will all be rusting away.

I actually share the same mentality with R33 GTS-Ts. As common as they are, look at all of them...thrashed out, modified to the shit. There's hardly any examples left that don't have a myriad of problems, are smashed up or look like ass. One day a genuinely low km clean example will fetch a fair bit, simply because of the rest...

    • 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
