Well i just wanted to share my thoughts at the moment!

I bought an R34 GTR V-Spec II, because i love the car, i love the heritage and i love what they can do. I never thought i was a great driver, but i thought i could drive it reasonably well and thought i had seen what it could do. That was until about 30 minutes ago when i was driving with a mate, he is a competitive drifter and frequents QR but ill let him remain nameless at the stage. I let him take over control, he having never driven a GTR and we headed for some windy roads, like really tight windy stuff where your basically sitting in the middle of second gear and up to the limiter. He absolutely threw what i thought the GTR could do out the window, shat on it, and then kept going. The MFD has never experienced so much action lol, i don't think the tires stopped squeeling for about 20 minutes and i didn't think it was possible to get a GTR as sideways as he did! He was an awesome driver and i definately have a new found respect for the experience and skills the track can give you.

All i really wanted to get at out of all this is that im so so so far past incredibly impressed with what the car just did and went through in a fairly standard condition, im scared to think what its like once you get another few hundred horses under it. I love you nissan, thank you for building a truly amazing affordable supercar.

And yes, i may sound like a schoolboy that just shot his first load, thats probably because i feel that way :D

Hey Ben, good to see you enjoying the car, just the wrong place for it. Why not come along Tuesday to QR and watch a bit of racing, and maybe sign up for a track day in the future?

Much better than the possibility of a writeoff or losing the car under hoon laws.

I do completely agree with you there! I am going to come along to QR and get involved in track days. That experience made me aware of just how much fun track days could be! Losing the car would have been a very painful experience at that point in time :rofl:

      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.
