market cap of $2mil was changed to $250mil last minute. I dont get that. anyway, my measly $500 will wait till Oct. 

my thoughts exactly, no f**ks given 

I'd like to point out that E85 Scotty recently sold his yellow, stroked out evo, adding to the list of former evo owners.

However, the buyer was old mate Sunkist/Aaron...who previously owned a white one. I wonder how long it lasts in his hands...



Mate I give it a month before that flamin mongrel sells it

If I buy the supra I'd have to allow 2 years for Barry to build the bottom end



No, you would become a 2j fanboi that believes they can take 1000hp totally stock

Lol 2Js are better than RBs no doubt about that

but... 1000hp from a stock bottom end sure...

might only last a few thousand Ks though :)

He likes Toyotas more, it would prolly progress faster than an RB. I notice the Toyota blocks are always the most complete looking in the engine room haha

What's taking so long on yours now Birds?

Shouldn't be much in the way of it besides Barry's daily work now. Machinist took ages with my block but that's done now, so onto the assembly and conversion. I've been told before end of the year so here's hoping.

Ahh really? I thought it was a complete engine ready to bolt in.. I'm guessing he's just giving it a freshen up with new bearings and what not? 

Yep sort of. It was complete (head separated from engine, but intact nonetheless). Barry offered to pull apart the block, check and reassemble...I thought it would be stupid not to while it's out and it's a second hand engine. We found the head comp was way too high from being over machined and some of the machining on the block was rough, so he sent it off to get tidied up. It's added a lot of time to the project but very glad he found that shit before it gave me troubles in the car...

    • 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.
