Wow thats a big burrito

Im currently resisting the urge to pull the trigger and engine out the skyline

ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh doooooooooooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttt

ask Bunts he's the man to help you with that

I hope i'm earning that much by the time i'm your age...

I spent quite a few years working for less than average wage gaining experience and struggling financially. Sometimes you have to get lucky (which I was), but I worked hard to be in the right place at the right time.

If you can't see a rainbow on the horizon, pick a new horizon to hike towards :)

Are you going to engine out to fix the head studs Scott?

I want to yes. MAster plan at this stage is to rip the motor out, get the head and block bored it to fit larger studs. Whilst the engine is out it will give me a good opportunity to tidy up the engine bay and remove a lot of unwanted/unneeded parts and probably respray it too.

Engine mounts also need changing. But if i do this it will more than likely effect the cooler piping and exhaust lining up properly

Sounds like a solid undertaking, at the rate I work that's about 3 years worth! ha ha

Hahaha, with the way I've been dropping cash into this car it wont take long. Really need to take a step back and curb the spending for a few months

    • It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.
    • 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.
