Started filling all the 10mm hole that were drilled from when the dealer had it rust treated back when it was new.

They weren't scared to drill random holes everywhere to spray the rust treatment in.

It's nice when you find bog inside the car and a random hole. This quarter panel on the passengers side did have 16mm of bog in it

so I guess they started levering the quarter out from the inside.

Some of the other old repairs, looks like they cut patches out from inside the car to hammer the sill panel out.

Got sick of using a cheap brake line flaring tool so lashed out and brought a sykes pickavant flaring tool but my super dodgy tube

straightener make from roller door wheels still works ok.

Started wiring the body harness, had to sort through and cut up some spare wiring looms to make one good one up.

Looking at buying the Link G4+ thunder ECU, seems to have everything I will need and more. http://www.linkecu.com/G4PlusThunder

    • 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.
