WOW looks great, and the dish on the rear rims omg!!!.

I realy should start sanding the rest of mine down, done the front gard :)

I know exactly what that feels like, my car sat for about 6 months with only 1 side of the car sanded. Now it is all done just needs a bit of smoothing out (bog work :D )

I wanted to get away from the standard DR colors so I am looking to go a dark purpley bluey color.

Yeah, I have my DR painted in metalic midnight purple, similar to the GTR purple. I looks so good.

Hey Josh have you got any further with your rack and pinion conversion?

Gotta agree, those rims are horn

I was going to paint my 31 Midnight Purple, I love that colour, but have pretty much decided on Wine red or similar, so I don't have to paint the engine bay (car is faded red already)

I look forward to the end result, should look hot!

Who cares what the engine bay looks like..Go drift style ;)

Darker blues, purples and reds always seem to look fat on wedges. Especially with some sparkle :(

how hard was it to remove all the trim peices, im looking at mine and they dont look to easy

It's all pretty straight forward, a couple of hard to get to bolts here and there. With mine it was mainly a problem of rusted bolts and stripped threads.

    • 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.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
