Thanks Dave for putting on a spectacular day. All that wild skid pan action!! Even if I had to get the GT-R towed after it died on the last 360 of the day to Grant's. With two expert mechanics at work Grant and his dad soon isolated the problem as fuel related. Some further investigation indicated that the pump was not getting power. A second check of the fuse box indicated - you guessed it - the fuse was blown!! Wish I had figured out that that out before the $140 tow...

Just for the record the quickest car their was an Mick's EVO 9 with semi slicks although the AWD could not keep up in the woooah stakes with dave showing how a FR sound be driven!!

Mick, If I can get some of that footage from you camera, that would be great. Happy to pay for the CD-R.

Anyway thanks again for a great day and to Grant for offering me his garage to get the car fixed.

Guys I will see if I can stick all the footage I have on Utube this week sometime.

I am new to u tube so I am not sure but I'll try.

Dave thanks for organizing the day. I had an absolute ball. I learned a lot about my car that I had no idea about before.

Good to see that it wasn't to serious mate. The 360 did look the stuff though.

Yeh i can safely say that was the most fun ive had with my pants on.Its amazing how much you can learn about you car in one day.Especially if i need to drift out of a rounda bout and do a 180 reverse park into a car spot. :(

    • 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.
