Hey guys, I'm not exactly a regular in the SA section, but you may know me from such movies as "SAU Admins, do they really have guns and shit?". :(

I'm in Adelaide city till thursday for work n stuff. I pretty much have a lot of time to kill till I go back, so wanted to know what there was to do around the city with no car. Next time I'm gonna drive down and hit the hills n wine country, but for now I'm stuck with public transport and my own two feet.

I've seen heaps of 'lines around the city, and Adelaide university (where a friend of mine goes). I was thinking I might drop into John Verban's car yard for shits n giggles... does anyone know how far from the city it is?

So yeah, please tell me if there's any skyline events with public access happening before thursday night or just places I should go check out while I'm here, keeping in mind my transport situation.

Yeh you could go check out some other shops over here, such as D1 Garage, Viva Garage, Exhausht Technology, GT Autosound, Wheelworx and thats just to name a few.

I'd head to the hills and check some sites and some killa roads........and they are only a stones throw for our not so massive city!!!

I'm on nightshift this week so if you need some help PM and we can organise something!

work.... in adelaide.... for jspec? bahaha

organising some work with a compliance shop, and also meeting up with a dealer that uses us regularly. Its mostly a PR thing... and I had some friends I wanted to catch up with in Adelaide, so it was a good excuse.

Would love to check out Viva and D1 Garage... but yeah transport n all might be an issue. I might get a hire car or something. Are they accessible by public transport from the city?

I'm looking into extending the visit to Sunday, so I can go out on Sat night with friends.

uummmmm, what is this fabled "public transport" thing you keep mentioning here? Remember, 'tis Adelaide, so no such thing as "public transport" down here; I mean its not as if we are as 'cultured' as the eastern states, hey! :O

Better off borrowing a 'Line from one of your car-yard contacts me thinks. But if you do that then just make bloody sure you dont try one of those ridiculous 'hook turns' that Vics seems to love doing :P

All the best mate, Brendan

im comin into town on wednesday mornin, so if ya want to see an ol skool line... let me know... maybe we can catch up

pete

that'll be awesome pete. can you PM me a contact number? I should be free to meet up most of the day except between 2pm and 4pm and after 9pm.

lol @ lack of public transport. I already asked about borrowing a car, and the dealer dosen't have any with current rego, and they're not too keen on me driving around on trade plates (dunno if they even exist in SA). I might look into a budget rental car or something. Toyota starlet powah!

if ya seriously want some wheels, then Budget (rent a car) is in the city, and they rent small pulsars for like $35 per day i think it was.

Might be the best bet. Seeing as you can drive form the northern most suburbs in Adelaide, to the southern most in about an hour....

schweet. I walked past a budget rental place on North Terrace today, so I might pop in tomorrow and ask about a hire car.

Tell 'em you need a Stagea; would love to see the look on their faces!

*scratches jaw, blank eyed manic look, brain ticking over going 'wtf??'* :O

hey guys, I'm actually leaving sunday night now so I can spend some time with friends over the weekend.

Met up with Pete and his purple great grandpappy line today... and omg. I want one! Nicely restored car, with very sleeper looks and a roaring modern heart. Big fan of that sort of stuff, so I was well excited to get a ride in it today. As I told Pete, one of these days I'll pick up a Datsun 240K and drop an RB25DET and take it to a C110 GTR look.

I took some quality pics of his car too, but unfortunately I left my USB cable at home in melb, so I can only upload em when I get back.

Tomorrow I meet up with Deluxe who's gonna give me a guided tour of SA tuner shops. Loving the SA hospitality. Spewing I didn't bring my line down instead of flying.

Yoshie, I didn't get a PM from you... which is wierd. Sorry mate. Sat night I'm meeting up with friends and going out, so I dunno if I can come cruising at night. Sat morning I'll be free though.

Just saw the thread on the hills cruise on Friday... I'll see if I can get a hire car of some sort to fang around in.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
