Yeah not too sure if it an April fools or not - I hope not. Given the whispering I have heard in the last year about a new Silva and the possibility of it being hybrid, I am assuming the article is legit. Still, you never know on a day like today :)

Hybrid, built for homos

Imagine a car having the power like yours does now (but with a decent engine like the VQ37) with a little blower on it making an easy 280rwkw, plus a 50kw electric motor on each rear wheel = 380rwkw. Fun.

If hybrid isn't a joke*, I have no interest at all.

If full on EV actually occurs, I will personally take a shit on every one I see.

*yes, I'm aware that hybrid is a joke by definition.

That sounds terrible.... Electric motor = no soul. I didn't modify my car for fuel economy that's for sure. Eco hybrid cars are just another step the fun police are using in the war against us hoons

370Z, ITB's, long tubes, no cats, no mufflers, no bullshit. Give no f**ks that some hipster flamin mongrel in a hybrid equivalent next to me has more anything, because he would not be having anywhere near as much fun as me.

I have a big roll of carbon wrap in my shed that you can have some of for cheap. It is the cheaper variety that requires a fair bit of effort/stuffing around to wrap, but the price is right :)

    • 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.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
