Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

just so we are clear, you are aware of the following because of the height difference.

Intercooler pipes wont fit, need to be modified.

exhaust wont fit, needs to be modified.

stock turbo is too small chokes HARD at ~5500 (you end up with about 80kw@ wheels by 6500)

intake pipe will need to be modified unless stock/flexible ish

front strut brace is unlikely to fit

car it came out of was probably automatic, dont forget to change the spigot bush in the crank or you will f**k your input shaft bearings in the gearbox

retaining vct isnt hard, just needs some bundy tube and some patience to run the line from the oil pressure sensor feed.

probably some other things i have forgotten since doing it.

im sure there is a RB30 build thread somewhere that he can follow tits.

Also in case your not aware already

Zac is a mech ;)

One way so solve a lot of thoes, 26 head ;)

There is threads and PDFs and a mountain load of info on them I think I should be pretty right to tackle it. No doubt I will encounter issues but this is a learning experiance and training for me, and not sure on if it will be going in mine or getting sold, ATM if I sell it Kathryn's had already chosen what the money from it is going towards

that only fixes 2 of the issues, strut brace and VCT.

    • 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.
    • 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.
