As the ex owner of those plates for many years i will let you know they were paid for however the car hasnt been registered for past 3yrs while ive been working on an upgrade package.I had in fact put the plates up for sale but no one as usual was willing to spend any money on their cars so we handed them back to transport sa, and i kept the originals as a keep sake and have another in mind when it gets returned to the road---if ever!

Regards,

So the 'upgrade' package is 100% complete? ;)

I remember some years ago before Julie had the bubs you were telling me about it.

Having "been there", i could confidently say that the package is NEVER complete :(. Some may decide (be forced) to stop spending money on their cars, but always have something else they wish they could do :P

:)

Al, yes... I'm still in the process of building mine up slowly, priority's change when little bubs come along. :P

With regards to 100% complete.. I was suggestiong did you end up going through with the engineering process Kym?

I think i could be happy with my car, if i got it to the point where i wont have to upgrade anything else. Except maintenance items of course...

Yes, do tell Kym...any progress? ;)

Untill you are at that point you can't really say :yes:

I reached my acheivement goals many times, then thought of other things to do, guess i have too much time to think while driving between jobs :D.

Yeah i thought it seemed strange when they said the plates were available, so i jumped at the chance! I guessed that the previous owner ( obviously you) had lapsed, and handed them back in!

So hows your upgrade package going? what model skyline you own?

Adam,Joel,Darren,

As others have said before nice looking car Adam, i have a ser ii 1996 skyline(r33) it was in fact the ist one sold here in s.a. and was a fairly rare car when we bought it.It was purchased with just under 20k kms on it and it was picked from main nth nissan on new years eve nearly 9yrs ago!(needlessly we didnt need a party to go to that nite ---we just cruised untill 4am!!!

Joel/Darren,

unfortunately the car has only progressed a little since i spoke to you guys all that time ago- ive relocated the brake lines,made the false firewall,had a custom air box manufactured that takes a huge k&n pad filter,had the gearbox rebuilt and blue printed by Dale at K&A,i had the alt rebuilt, also the power steer pump as well as i wanted to make a custom pulley set and couldnt seperate the shaft so had it stripped down returned the pump shaft to accept a new pulley and had it re assembled to as new,also made the pulley set,as you know the motor is complete(rb30 block,crank,rods ,pistons stud kit top and bot,r34 head-head job vavles 272 cams ,ni oil pump,stainless extr,gt30 turbo,48 mmwastegate,type r blow off valve,greedy inlet manifold(spent over a 100 hrs hand polishing it [and turbo housing] with 100mm sub zero throttle body.

Unfortunately ive fallen on tough times in the past year as my take home pay has been reduced by nearly 30k and sue has been very ill for many months(on the mend now) so not much more has been done and after spending nearly 30k on motor and ancillaries ive contenplated selling off the package and putting back the orig motor as its only done 80k and just getting the car any bloody car back on the road (havnt had a car at all for the past 13wks- and now back on the bike!)

But will hang in there a little longer as im about to change jobs so things may turn for the better, will be nice to catch up with you guys in the near future...

Regards,

SKYLINE...(Kym). ;)

    • 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.
