i have been suffered by a stupid engine problem (killing spark plugs) for over a month and have spent around 250 on the plugs as well as some amount of money spent in another workshop (they are good but i guess they are just too busy to look at my car properly)

finally, holidays are all over, so i wake up early today and gave Ben a call see if he is available. Anyway, i was running late and dropped the car in around 3.00pm...i took 1 hour bus trip back to monash uni plus 1 hour walk to McDonald's and back home~~~!!! Guess what~~~!!??? as soon as i got home, i got a phone call from Ben...all fixed...unbelievable right~~~!!!

All i want to say is Ben you are the best in VIC and thank you for your help~~~!!!!

Its not a question of "other" workshops being busy or anything mate.

They just simply dont know what they are looking at.

Ben will work it out, and it wont cost you the earth like other workshops who just p|ss fart around for weeks on end taking pot luck guesses at what the problems are.

There are too many average joe workshops in Vic, especially in the western suburbs. 99% of them have no idea

    • 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.
