I always like it when a mechanic notices that you've got an interest in cars and actually talks about what and why he changed something for... like shows you the inside of the screwed water pump, or the timing belt cracks etc :P

Also makes payment a lot nicer, knowing that work was actually completed... and WHY it took xxx hours

This.

I shall take a photo of my old timing belt lol it was cracked as fuark! Apparantly influenced leaks in cam seals so had that all fixed. *phew* Coil packs didn't need changing, already had spitfires, didn't even know! Changed HKS spark plugs to NGK's, hks one's were pretty worn tho. But yeah car just feels amazeballs, due for a reefton run. :D

Reefton Spur, I assume? Have been meaning to go for a ride/drive down that way, but haven't been able to yet. Actually haven't driven / ridden besides daily duties in a long time, lols. Give me a yell next time if you're going up :P

f**ks sake man....

related: I got done for that one about 10-12 years ago at like 4 am sat (was driving modded e30)

cop asked why I ran a red light, told him it was amber when I went through and it was safer to go through as there was no way I could have stopped (truth)

he gave me the fine and points anyway. $200 back then

Then he started to hassle me about what I was doing driving around at 4am in the docklands ( this is back when it was an industrial area)

Told him I was a DJ and off to a $200 per hour gig... dude lost it, I just got in my car and drove off... lulz were had

Dont think it would go that smoothly in 2013 though :no:

yeah we all know they're a bunch of wankers one day they're going to go too far with the wrong person and someones going to get shot or killed over modded car related issues.. my brother is PISSED atm

I kinda want something bad to happen to a stupid hwy patrol cop, they might re-think some of the stupid fines/defects then? I duno.

    • 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.
