Like everything is an inch thick in grime, should have really taken to it with a pressure washer first, but meh too late now.

can tell a butcher has been working on it though, that many stripped bolt heads over tightened bolts.. my temper is limited haha!

hopefully its going again tomorrow if burson's is open and i can get the last few things i need.

Will be fun to drive the old girl again and even more fun when its wearing the old LCA's and coilovers from my silvia.

Would love to throw an S13 rack in it also to get rid of bump steer, but im not quite that enthusiastic just yet.

Had my R31 tuned at Dr Drift's yesterday, 240 @ 13.5psi, 255 @ 15.5psi & 265 @ 19.5psi.

thats not bad, not bad at all! what kind of setup are u running in the R31? last tune i had (will not mention by who :domokun: ) was dissapointing and only reached 250rwkw @15psi . I know it is capable of more with the existing mods but was given more excuses yet again, so thats why i was waiting for Dr. Drift to come down, i didnt think he was coming till the end of the month? suppose i have missed him again???.......!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in Melb at the moment. Not much in the way of mods, TD06 and that's about it. Rb25 doesn't even have VCT.

He will be in launceston in a couple of weeks.

oh and to update for my car. i have dropped off my re-designed cooler piping to a profered workshop to be welded up wich should save on lost time with blown cooler piping again.

i am very happy with the new setup. hi compression turbo for the win. while it lasts anyway.

got the seats in, spacers on and ps pump changed today. car is now going again.

all that is left is pod filter, mount battery, modify cooler piping, longer studs up front and fit speedo sender. (oh and chase a rattle in the rear that is shitting me!)

then it is ready to put on the market properly! actually starting to be quite a nice car, might even change my mind and keep it for a little while.

here are a few pics of the car

    • 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.
