You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

so went to MiColour to discuss painting and fitting of body kit for gloria... learnt some things about the do's and don'ts of fibreglass body panels.

but now its time to weigh up whether its worth the cost... can anyone recommend a place worth chatting to? im prepared to pay for quality work, but in Mick's words "How long is a piece of string?" can go very very long when trying to make possibly warped fibreglass "fit" nicely. (im preparing for the worst, hopefully it should be pretty good)

on a side note, S14 at micolour getting the whole sha bang-a-bang has some serious money put into it. like so serious i couldnt believe its to be used a street car only. on a S14 that had hit a pole on the rear quarter. the fenders were made by Mick and will fit 11" wide tyres once some tubbing was done.

DT Panels is another option.

Nope... Only bodywork that I've had done is getting my passenger door replaced after a woman backed her car out of her driveway into it while it was parked.

Insurance job via JCI and went to the lowest bidder (a place on Princes Highway Springvale). Paint was well matched (though, its a flat white, so not that hard really) though everything else was horrible... Snapped a few of the door card panel clips and didn't replace them when swapping it onto the new door, power window is a bit flakey and only works 90% of the time, power mirror hasn't worked since, window was so out of alignment that letting the door swing shut would make it stop with 10cm to go...

JCI said to call the workshop and book it back in for them to fix it. Workshop said to call JCI and book it back in for them to fix it (ETA a week), I said "Hell no you're not getting it back for another week" and fixed a bunch of it myself. Mirror is still dead in the water...

A45 AMG is pretty quick though!

In saying that 230kw on e85 on the r34GTR

Probably similar power to weight to the tuned stock turbo'd R34 GTT which makes 200rwkw at around 1,400kgs

But dat r34 gtr doe #race #rb26 #gloves #e85 #race day # race helmet #security guards #fastest car # most exclusive car

Yeah this part I don't really understand. I had low comp cylinder 1 in my 32R, and stock with 14psi on 100octane it made 250rwkw... On E85 that 34 should be making 300rwkw at least. I don't think a hub dyno would have robbed it of 70kw... Something's not right there!

All 34R qualified mechanics must be SAS reg trained former NASA lead engineers and have obtained at least certificate 2 in crowd control / security operations to work on the vehicles

Which is why it's so hard to find a place who can get you more than 230kw at the wheels

Bahahaha 230kw, seriously? I feel sorry for the guy's hired wife and kids

      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

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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.
