Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

really, really, really, really, really hope so mate. Ive been really depressed with it all lately :/

Its getting there man, it really is. When you build something you spend the first few months just going through it finding the weakest link all the time. Its better to find an ECU issue now than find it halfway up a hill in the middle of no where!

I know everyone who hasn't gone through a major exercise is always on you case about when you will get it back and how you should have it back and this makes you feel like the whole thing is a disaster....but builds gonna be bitches like this and to me its all gone pretty much to the recipe! All you can do is laugh (and cry a little), and know it will be good in the end.

Whats not to like, I earn money, no managers in today, I have field work later so the day will go fast, I get to put in my overtime forms earning me a few hundred more dollars. Beats sitting at home being unuseful!

See Monday is the day I have painful people to deal with and painful stuff to do and almost guarentee something goes wrong on a Monday!

I have the chilliest day today. It's a beautiful day, I get paid and I get to work on the river. Best Monday ever!! Ohh also got to see the sunrise, that's was pretty wicked

If I had a day like that I would like it

This is true. Better to get the ECU sorted out now as you said.

Hopefully Haltech get back to EFI soon, but I have a feeling that this is going to take quiet some time........................and even then................................. who knows what there gonna say (thats what worries me most)

Friday is my shite day, some times literally, if it can go wrong it will go wrong on a Friday.

Yeah it is a bit of a worry but hopefully its just a firmware update and away you go

Friday is generally pretty cruisy for me but if something chooses to be painful it is insanely painful!

    • 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
