So let me get his right, stock standard out of the factory:

2 doors: only have the 2 outside (bigger lights) light up

4 doors: all 4 lights light up

I always thought that compliance changed my car so that only the outside 2 lit up, perhaps this is not the case then.

Yep... that's right, and it's wierd isn't it.

I saw a 4 door hitting the streets with four stove lamps and thought somethign was wrong with mine. Came home checked and there's no double element bulbs in the inner stoves. :) Sucks.

what about with parkers just on? do the four doors only have the two bigger lights light up when the parkers come on or are all four supposed to light up as well?

all my tail lights come on at parkers chris, yours should also

Mine dont only the outer lights do. Ill get into it on the weekend and see if Ican fix the problem then. It just doesnt look like a skyline without all 4 of them.

Correcto

All four still light up always.

    • 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.
