To be PRECISE :), if you take Wattletree Road down from the city direction, past burke road, turn right at waverly road and you'll see it on your left :P.

Beware, do not wash your car there at 10.55pm. The thing will just switch off even though it says it closes at 11pm. The last time i had to drive off with foam all over my car :)

How bout just wash it by yourself @ the front of your place? lol

:thumbsup: yup, easiest to do it on your driveway....

and i'm not worried about water restrictions - a few minutes with a hose is not going to deplete the states water supply.

- get those dumb fockers who water their lawn for +3 hours in summer just to see it evaporate almost straight away... :banana:

Under the current "permanent water saving rules" you're allowed to wash your car with a normal hose so long as it's fitted with a trigger nozzle

Vehicle cleaning

Cars, boats and other vehicles can be cleaned using a hand-held hose, but only if it is fitted with a trigger nozzle. Buckets, watering cans and high-pressure water cleaning units can also be used.

Yeah i thought of that too, but there wasn't any tap.

I doubt at a car wash place they will actually place a tap there for people to use for FREE.

what?? there is a friggen tap there you can use for free!! right next to the tyre pressure thing... how can you miss it? as soon as you drive in its right infront of you!!

zomg

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
