Bought some splitfire coilpacks on tuesday and requested Express postage. I received notification that it was sent on Tuesday and was given the tracking number.. YAY!

But..

..I tracked the parcel on Wednesday, and it says that it was only picked up on Wednesday, and is currently in transit to the Canberra depot from Brisbane. No big deal, I'll receive it today (Thursday).

Today I tracked the parcel and it's still in transit, and nothing was on my doorstep today. So, it was sent a day later and I can only assume that it has been sent via normal parcel.

Ahh well, not like my car is motionless in the driveway..oh wait, yes it is.

Cliffs:

bought coilpacks and requested express post on tuesday

seller indicated it was sent tuesday, but it was actually sent Wednesday

coilpacks should be here by now, but they're not

Assuming it was sent by normal freight

Mad.

Here's the first demo model of the clapper switch I've been building.

Hopefully I'll be getting it into production soon. Price somewhere between $50-$100, bepending on how cheap i can get some gear in bulk.

I've always liked the idea of having a clapper light.

For ages I thought only rich & successful people in movies had them but now normal folk can have them as well.

You know you have succeeded at life when you have clapper lights!

Got heaps done on the car today.

Everything is off the front, just need to get the cam gear and vct off so I can do cam seals and put everything back together.

Just need to get a seal puller tomorrow morning to get the crank seal out, that sucker is in there tight. Bent my pick trying to get it out,

Hopefully I can get it all done before 7pm tomorrow otherwise i'll have to finish it after work on Wednesday.

Inspection failed (of course). Points:

Remove all non-compliant window tint (the rear quarter windows and rear windscreen are 5%, lol)

Rear muffler fouling body (stock muffler I borrowed doesn't sit correctly - hitting underside of car)

Boot grommet missing (there's a 5cm or so hole in my boot floor under where the spare wheel should be - gotta get a rubber grommet to cover it)

Display all child anchorage points (FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU need to have these installed and then engineered. Le sigh)

I'll just peel the windows myself this weekend I suppose, then book it in at Canberra Motor Works to have the child restraints fitted and engineered in one hit. Grommet can be found at clark rubber lol....dunno what to do about the muffler fouling though, it really shouldn't be since there's nothing that can be 'adjusted' in the whole exhaust system...anyone got a rego catback I can trial fit/borrow to see if it fits any better?

Easiest way I found for tint removal is steam cleaner. Just be careful using it around ur demister. Can lend you mine if you're desperate?

I might take you up on that if you don't mind mate, the only other way I've had tint removed involved a razor blade, Orange Power, and lots of time

that is such a shame, guess I'll have to hold onto this dangerous seat for a bit longer. How come they didn't point out the tint and restraints first go?

hahaha yeah if you don't have a problem with that :P just don't ruin it lol

    • 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.
