Rob, its easy to check the belt and if its out a tooth out.

You wind it over untill the marks line up on the crank and both cams.

It will be obvious if its a tooth out of alignment on one cam.

When i did mine, i took off the radiator and intercooler, so i had access from the front, it was soo easy that way.

Lots of nice pics from Bryce to guide you through.

Ps Rob if you need any tools, ive got em to lend to you.

Dyno Tune in Belco ( A bit of a drive for you) seem to be alright from what I have been told. I just started to use them and they're pretty good. Have had a few mates used them and say they're good.

Got discs machined today.

they were a bit warped

Machined on the hub, so they wont have any run out at all.

Marked now so they must go back on the same, if they ever come off again.

Thanks Mik, I'll see how I go. Most likely I'll pay for it to be sure...

Would be good to be able to do myself (and oneday I will) but I need my Daily, daily.

Rob esp are good with safc's so is auto tech hume albeit more expensive

Yeah but convenience of Mitchell is the most convenient as I work there, plus I trust them. ;)

Discs done at home.

$77.

Rotor Pro.

The guy told me about how if your hubs are out of line, your discs will be out of line(logical); so brand new discs wont fix it.

Machining on the hub, and leaving it bolted on exactly the same way makes it properly straight.

So mark your discs to the hub before taking them off, left, right and the stud.

Also skyline brakes are nice, ive never taken them off before. You can cheat and leave the lines on.

Last night I installed my Bonnet Dampers form the Group Buy.

So much Awesome. :D

After my Mum being in my car again today, she was enjoying the Pod / Metal intake induction noises and asked me to give it a bit when I was leaving so she could hear my car "have a hissy fit." :laugh:

Fogies say the cutest things. :rolleyes:

Installed mine tonight. Such an awesome little mod! :D

Paid weekly is horrid... Are you crazy! :P

I now get paid fortnightly and I definitely find it harder this way seeing as I was paid weekly for 3 years or so :(

When it's weekly pay you spend it ALL in that week. When fortnightly, I find it a lot easier to save. I only spend x and the rest goes into savings. But weekly... no savings :(

try getting pay monthly. Then come back to me. The time at where you get pay Weekly, Monthly Fortnight etc is irrelevant to how well you can save. You earn the same amount of moneys.... IMHO Fortnight is the best, then weekly. I'm on monthly pays ATM and it sucks the wang.

Haha, when I get paid weekly I was like nope don't have enough money. Now when I get paid fortnightly and it's a larger sum I'm like mad in loaded and I spend it :(

Think in smart about my spending though. Don't have any debt and I'd rather it be that way even if I have to wait longer to get things.

Anyway getting off topic... What did I do to my car today you say..? Nothing apart from notice that's it's covered in pollen.. Damn you spring!

    • 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.
