Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

I am, but the car needs to get from my place to the shop to get said professional alignment.

Yeah, quite a few hours have been poured into her recently. Gregs help has been indispensable.

surely someone has a trailer?

Getting a tow is hard, A) got to make sure the servo trailer is good for the weight of the skyline, a lot are 1200kg's or less. B) skyline needs to be high enough to get on. C) need a tow car, considering trailer is bigger and bulkier your standard falcon probably isn't going to cut it.

Moving small Datsuns around? not so hard! My dad got himself a project car on Friday...

I would not be using my Falcon mate.

But my parents Landcruiser and the trailer would certainly be strong enough to support a two tonne car

Eye alignment is fine to drive down to get a proper one... just toe it in a bit.

No need for a trailer

Drove with an eye alignment today, much better than no alignment... No alignment was so shit even staying under 30kph...

Turns out this project car is probably going to be sitting there for 2 years, so maybe when its finished?

You know you want the leopard sooner than that... Do it Pete, do 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  
    • 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
