    Alloy Rim Warning !!!!!!

    I'd question why anyone who is a car person would use an automatic car wash!

    GSR spits out unburnt fuel when starting.

    It's not unburnt fuel, just soot (carbon) and condensation mixed together. Cars with stock exhausts don't do it because the baffles in the muffler prevent the sooty sludge from making it out the tail pipe.

    E39a Gearbox trans

    Jamming in 5th/reverse - drain the oil and remove the end casing (can be done with box still in the car) - 5th gear and shift fork will be exposed for inspection.

    Figuring out ride height

    270mm at the front... with 18x9 +30's will need some custom RCA's and tie rod ends (not to mention guard work) to run this low though. Aside from the outer guard the tire clears everything at this height, even at full lock (with 235/40/18's). Intending to run something like 310 front 270/280...

    Check engine light comes on while driving

    check the fault code/s - can be done without a logger also. 88 j-specs had dual board ecu's btw. if it's a single it must be late 89 or later.

    imagination has taken its toll again lol

    There's a science to making more downforce without an excessive increase in drag, not to mention balancing it front-rear. There's plenty of information, tests you can do, etc on the net. For a splitter and/or diffuser to work though they need to be very close to the ground - basically if it...

    another f#@kin gearbox problem....i think

    Nice sales job... I'd recommend an Excedy 5 puck ceramic kit - tis what I've been using for years and it's great, easy to drive, nice light pedal and no slipping when you launch.

    Best is entirely relative to the rest of your setup.

    Hydraulic tensioner

    I've always just checked the old hydraulic tensioner is within spec and not leaking then refitted it, never had a problem.

    The beginning of my VR4 adventure!

    I've not seen one do this (and I've driven a few) but I'm pretty sure they shouldn't!

    Gsr drivetrain in a vr4

    Why can't you use first gear? The gsr gearbox will bolt into the vr4 - you may need to also use the gsr transfer case, depending on the splines. gsr box is 3.545 ratio same as vr4. gsr rear diff won't bolt into the vr4 (rear subframe is completely different) and there's no point in doing so...

    odd factory options

    Here's a pic of the cup holder in the RS centre console lid.

    I'm going to NZ - Christchurch - advice

    If I was on check in I'd let him through just so I could watch him try and lift it into the overhead compartment :lol:

    odd factory options

    On a balance the manual one was heavier - wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Only marginally though.

    diff, transfer, gearbox issue ????

    +1 lockups = broken centre diff.

    odd factory options

    Which one is lighter? A mate of mine got some manual mirrors for his Evo2 racecar and discovered they were actually heavier than the stock electric ones!

    what gear box oil to run

    I use Castrol VMX

    odd factory options

    Yup. The cupholders are still pretty awful though - turn left sharply and it'll end up in your lap! I'd suggest cutting the base of the stock cupholders then making a piece that is 30-50mm lower for the bottles/cans to rest on.

    reverse switch options

    Get another reverse light switch would be the easiest way. But you could fit a manual switch in the cabin to do it (whether they will accept that for a roadworthy is another matter.

    odd factory options

    No. RS's usually have a sticker under the vr4 badge on the boot. Also, only RS-Evolutions have the vents,16G turbo's, 510's, etc. ALL RS's have mechanical rear lsd's and no 4ws. Pre-facelift vr4's (and zr4's) only have interior lights in the middle of the roof (switched by the door's...
