EVO isn't that amazing, and pale in comparrison to my R33, however as stock they freakin good and you can mod them to a reasonable level for very little money in a way that will still appear stock and not require changes if defected.

guess ill have to drive one sometime to see what the fuss is. factory recaros sounds nice, probably still factory heavy though.

Guy i know through work has a modified one in Tassie.... always been tempted to buy it at Tassie price, drive for a bit then sell for profit here. who says JDM styling is a bad thing :P

i removed my seats on the weekend, they arent light but they arent skyline seat heavy.

yeah they're a good all rounder

i dont plan on modding it or going power crazy

the factory power output is plenty i think

what hamish said, an ecu flash with more boost (can be done via factory ecu and factory solenoid or buy a 3 port solenoid that plugs in to the factory loom for $115)

dual map it with 98 and e85, they pickup a decent 30kw or so. stock tune is only ~160kw at the wheels, remap with ~24psi or slightly more on the e85 map.

i dont have any good pics of it yet, havent got it, still going through mechanical check, rwc etc

its an evo 8 MR FQ 300

leather suede interior

slotted and drilled rotors

red brake pads

different manifold

hks evc 5 i think ?

apexi pen turbo timer

coilovers

hks exhaust superdragger apparently

its a UK spec so it has a few homo spec items, fog lamp in rear bar, speedo is dual mph / kp/h

the windows close and the mirrors fold in when you press the lock button 3 times on the remote

is this std or some special feature? never seen this on a factory car

some of the MR FQ stuff is a little hard to check

he assues me its a legit fq, the chassis seems to align to the FQ #'s and all the badges are there etc

confirms he has all the FQ paperwork

all in all a nice example and v happy

dont forget..... the km's are actually miles if it came from the uk......

    • 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.
