You're literally the most boring car guy I know..

At least tune it on E85

Highflows are epic on E85

Turbo is ace, strong as the day I put it in after 40,000km+. I blew a T3 gasket recently cause a nut or two were missing from the flange lol

We replaced that (and tightened manifold nuts which were also loose) in about 3 hours and it's better than ever :)

Now traction is an issue again, even with AD08s :(

hmm christmas bonus.

house deposit or wide body kit...

hard choice

Refresh motor. Use my gaskets.

Leave car rat-spec. GTX turbo. Decimate all.

The pulsar has Nismo key, Nismo oil cap and some random Nismo badge thing on the centre console. Says volume about the previous owner....

The Nismo weighted gearknob is very nice though.

Ran into a guy on site who was at Roy Hill most of this year... Some f**king stories. Sounds like one of the biggest circus construction jobs. Dodged a bullet not going, but could have really done with the work.

Apparently they couldn't find Australians of my profession with experience in a newer Siemens equipment that hasn't been released here... So Samsung send their team over from Korea. None of whom spoke English or had worked in Australia before. Then they needed more, so one of the Zimbabwean managers brings over all his friends. Needed interpreters and constant supervision. Singing and chanting during lunch and in the mess hall. $90/h wouldn't have been too shabby though for 80 hour week.

haha yeah ive heard interesting stories about the construction.

I believe there was a memo published by Samsung which had a photo of tradies standing around on the job; Memo said to performance manage crew & to utilise idle time. Memo leaked onto Facebook & all the tradies blew a gasket.

Korean Management managing an Australian tradie workforce. Will never go down well haha.

You say that but when the entire construction work force has the mindset of "the sooner we finish the job, the sooner I'm unemployed" not a whole lot gets done. Combined with people who have no idea what they're doing and contracting more people who don't know what they're doing and you get $600mil+ over budget and not even close to finishing.

In Queensland last year I think the whole thing was $2bil over. We were the 3rd set of contractors to do exactly the same tasks at the same locations. Was a clusterf**k. Pretty much sums up mining/oil/gas construction jobs. And now that they're wrapping up, all these Muppets from WA, SA, NT and QLD will be looking for more stable work. A large percentage of the skilled workers are foreigners too. Goddamn south African migration on some sites.

motor only ahd 10-15K on it, no need for a refesh there esp with how log boost it is running..

That's either a reeeeeeally cheap house or a reeeeeealy overpriced bodykit

no where near a total deposit, but should go in that account.

think will split it in 2 and get best of both worlds.

    • 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.
