Has anyone else noticed this trend? Apparently it can be three different things:

- in Japan it's meant to be a subtle way of letting people know that you're up for a race

- in Thailand/Korea it supposedly keeps evil spirits away so you don't have an accident

- in Australia it means you are the illest fatlace stance hellaflush ever???

I've seen a fourby with a pair of balls hanging of the back... That was interesting. I think Cadmoon is looking for an Anchor for his R33 :P

A stocking and 2 tennis balls does the trick! We did it to a mates hilux :laugh:

It was a bit of a thing in the club for a while. Benno found a Mario from Maccas while out at a meet, I found a big bird at a race meet in Goulburn, Noel found a stress ball style brick. After that everyone was trying to find something. I still have mine as a homage to god days gone by!

I've had mates do this, I at one point had an ace of spades playing card hung from mine... I have no idea why.

Common ones I've seen around the place: angry birds, subway hangers, pokemon, slenderman, I saw on the other day which was just a bunch of Zipties with another Ziptie around it.

Drift culture, it confuses me.

A few years ago, at least in the Qld community, it was something that was found or given to you that could be hung from the tow hook. If we saw anyone with something they bought specifically to put on the hook they were flamed. I found a tiny surfboard in the gutter outside Revhead's house and it was on there until it broke. I now have a Dora doll that my 3 year old daughter insisted go on there after she saw others at last years SAU Charity Cruise.

Yes, it is is kinda silly, but who cares really??? And I won't disappoint my daughter...

It is a Japanese trend to have a hang ring from a train on your tow hook, designed to show that if you had the ring just touching the ground, you car was low enough to be cool.

before imports (no tow bar), it was children's plastic toys shoved on tow ball with their arse holes.....

replaced the ol' tennis ball.

I admit I used to have this "not the mama" cause my kids loved it !

      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

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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.
