Yeah Prank, it's who you think it is.

No luck today picking up my skyline, salesman didn't know anything about my car and the boss went on holidays to the snow.

The boss promised me he would pass all relevant information and paperwork to his salesman before he went away on the chance that today my car would be ready to register.

Another entry gets written on my webpage about this saga.

The salesman didn't even know where my car was. It would be interesting if my car has made the trip to the snow...

I've told a lot of people i'm getting the car and people have seen it being driven around with trade plates by the boss of this company.

I've taken a pic of the number of Ks the car had done when it arrived off Botany wharf at their workshop. Might have some words when I pick up the car if the Ks are significantly different.

I'll give you a call when I get word it's ready Prank.

JiMbO, it's not as bad as it sounds.

Its a young crew (owner is 24) and they don't seem to be very organised.

The problem is, he is trying to sell more cars than he can handle so a lot of the customers are having to wait.

My car and a couple of others he imported were kept for over a month by customs because they were "red flaged" or "red something-ed".

They arn't bad, they can't handle the work they have (they also do the compliance work). They make promises that they have no control over eg. I've heard "It will be here next week" about 4-5 times.

They have just had a bad trot with wiating for cars from the wharf (which is out of their direct control).

So do I.

I've asked Prank to come down with me when I pick up the car to make sure it isn't a lemon.

I haven't driven a turbo car before and i'm use to my 1.6l laser. I'm unsure how they should perform so i've asked someone who is local for some help.

Prank has been nice enough to give up his time to take my car for a fang around the streets of Manly... he seems like a very good bloke.

Maybe this week is the week I get my skyline... I hope so anyway.

BTW, what is tech support like? I graduate at the end of the year and am looking for a job as a programmer or similar.

    • It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.
    • 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.
