Changed brake light globe. Took over an hour.

Had to remove MDF boot flooring, remove subs (12 x 2" alen key bolts each), remove sub boxes (screwed in)

Then replace globe and fit it all back in

Changed all six globes. Dont want to do that again for a while :ermm:

Whilst there removed the Tomei tinted after burner lenses and cleaned all brake lenses.

Will leave them off for a while so it looks "normal"

Checked my timing today....way out. Now it's spot on and it runs great.

I have wednesday and thursday off and i'm going to replace my carpet with a better one that I have re dyed and replace my ratty steering wheel.

Tried to diagnose the boost surge, no luck.

When it happens its surging about twice every second. I can hear it, psh-psh-psh and the EBC is beeping warning.

Im getting 120 kpa, 150kpa(20 psi) the other day. Thats bad considering its a stock rb25 turbo!

Its probly actuator or ebc?

Take off the farty GTR bov first, go back to stock.

Dunno... anyone had this before?

Scared to drive it, im sure the turbo will die.

For those of you who have not seen these..... Cricket ball sized hail on my old 32... They did a good job of fking it.

Laughed hard out loud.....couldn't control myself. SOrry.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. again sorry :(

Yeah the car was FARKED pretty hard rofl. Still. I got $400 less than i paid for it 5 years after. Did pretty well considering LOL

So if you ever hear me say how much i HATE hail. Even if its tiny. You now know why hahahaha

You've done a lot better with your latest one.

Bet you shit kittens last week when it started hailing

IT WAS IN THE GARAGE NOT MOVING!

but yes everytime it even rains a bit heavier im like:

Looked at my wheel and got cranky again.....Now having an internal debate that if it cant be fixed and need to buy a new wheel whether I hold off and upgrade turbos first seeing as the wheel still works.

Its funny, it seems to be the only thing I see on the car now. Everything else is great but my focus is drawn straight to the wheel!! LOL

Mine really shat me off at first but got over it cause it's on the passenger side.

More go fasts will make you get over it somewhat!! :)

+1 on replacing the wheel rather than repair. I'll probs just by a replacement wheel when I eventually get around to doing something about mine.

    • 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.
