Ok folks..

Yesterday I went out to check out a r-34 which was in about a 3.5 rating condition.. Had the minor scratches here and there, dash board wasn't upto top notch, had a odd stock front bar its colour didnt match the car etc.. but one thing i've noticed when i had a look under the car and which bugged me the most was, there were TWO PINK markers under the car, on the LEFT and RIGHT rear wheel thingys (dont know the parts name :rofl: ) As far as i know, only wreckers use these markers to identify the parts, for which car etc.. Now im thinking this car had previously been in a accident or are these markers normal? Do every Skyline have them, if so, what are they?

I've just sketched up something to identify where these PINK markers were.. The car in the image is not a Skyline by the way.. Any helpful posts would be greatly appreciated.

He already said that the pic isnt of the actual car he was looking at (r34 gtt) but of another car just to show where the pink bits were.

Its probably from a wrecker. But at least you know the parts were changed then hey? IMHO i dont see it as being a bad thing, or a good thing either way.

he said it wasn't a skyline...

they will be replaced parts...if those cross-arms have been replaced its probbaly been in a medium to bad accident.. isnt the end of the world...just need it checked out by someone who can check the camber etc.

but in answering his question yes wreckers do use pink makers usually to identify parts... but they wouldnt just put a line in them. if there is not signs of damage then its been properly repaired in most cases or not damaged at all n marked for some other reason

      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

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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.
