Yesterday; pulled down the ke55, found out that it has a 3k head on a 4k block.. was consuming a lot of water too.

Today; finally finished off my ebc installation, holy crap I've been missing out! Massive improvement in boost ramp/response and still the same power/boost setting :) I will have to spend the next few days tuning it a bit more. Cannot recommend enough if you think your wastegate is opening too early!

Todays Post brought me a set of Front Brake Pads for R31 and a Spare Pair of Headlights.

More tinkering under the bonnet to eliminate Sputtering flatspots. (I think it's fixed but then find it's not) :( But after cleaning up some electrical connections and swapping in my spare AFM I may be onto it... Maybe. :/

See how it goes tomorrow on the commute to work.

First day back today... Need a holiday already.

good luck rob! mine was spluttering before I changed the plugs (around 3.5k 4k) flat out, havnt driven enough to find out if I fixed it yet, tomorrow when I go buy a claybar will find out :P

i really hate fault finding im having a strong cut when i accelerate heavily after changing the clutch. Might buy a new fuel filter,injector cleaner and new sparks. As for coilpacks will have to buy a new set, is there anyone with 34 coilpacks known working that i can use to test out if theyre the cause.

nah i swap them out every 5000kms when i change oil but ive done it more frequently of late coz of E85. Im thinking of getting these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/230640250253?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

If you are still looking for them when my car arrives, I don't mind lending them to you

Perhaps even the Tune/ECU. some form of boost cut under hard/sudden boost pressure

    • 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.
    • 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.
