It's a bit like how the improvement in CSI techniques has forced people who steal cars to completely torch them rather than just dump them ..... sad in a lot of ways.

I have seen this car around a fair bit, idiots!

I agree with harsher penalties causing more of this to an extent, but theres that little switch in everyone, every single time i saw lights on behind me my instinct was oh shit gotta pull over, regardless of the situation. thinking i could get away never even crossed my mind. to be the kinda person that even would contemplate initiating a car chase, wow, dont buy a import for our sake.

Couldnt agree more. If anyones ever watched the show COPS you'll know that trying to leg it basically confirms a suspicion of guilt. After all, if you've nothing to hide, why run?

Because if a cop sees you boot it away from a set of lights to 60km/h and wants to pull you over for street racing, it's going to be your word against his. Like I said, being told you're guilty until you prove you're innocent changes the whole dynamic.

And just because you guys don't feel the need to run (and I don't either) doesn't mean that, in that split second, someone else won't make the wrong choice knowing their car is going to be impounded and they're going to lose their licence for 12 months if they stop.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • 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.
