I'm still doing short term oil changes, will swap to a genuine filter when it's been driven a bit more. 

Next order ill order another nismo sock for the oil filter....

Also looking into options for the battery. Possibly a stand+enclosure welded up.... at the moment it's literally propped up with wood hahahaha

Few questions...

The black fuel line that runs over the plenum.. Should i braid that for the lulz? 

Also considering either braiding or getting one of the old school greddy hard pipes for the top Rad hose...???

I finally managed to get my hands on a decent condition optioned up foot rest, and i didn't have to pay drug (nismo) money for it. Pretty stoked. When that arrives that means the interior is pretty much done. Unless as stated above i want a nismo cluster and/or the optioned knee pads.....

Gearbox has a slight crunch 4th syncro. 

Or new diffs? !!

Tip all of that money you might spend into my car instead, know that it went to a good cause? 

 

I'll tell you what, you give me the car and ill spend all the money on it. 

An interesting counter offer.... 

The car did come from Canberra actually, maybe it was always meant to be yours. 

As for your list, I would rebuild box. Reliability/avoiding further damage over upgrades IMO.

Why Quaife instead of Nismo at the front?

A lot of ppl seem to prefer them over the Nismo. I'm not sure why as the reasons they specify it sounds more like a setup issue personally.

Personally I've been in a couple of cars with Nismo front diffs setup correctly by RPM and they were fine after run-in.

I'd do transfer case mod>front diff> rear diff (in that order)

    • 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. 
    • 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.
