Congrats JET,

Can't wait to have a close look at it in person.

KEEP SAFE BUDDY!!

Seriously consider doing an advanced driving course.

We (SAU) should do one together, as a club day. It would be mad and we could learn a thing or two. My heart sinks when i hear of a skyline being involved in an accedent.

CONGRATS!!!

Can't wait to see it up close and personal.

KEEP SAFE BUDDY!

Seriously consider doing an advanced driving course. We (SAU) should do one together. Have a great day learning the limits of our babies (in jets case 1/4 of the limit will be more than enough :P) and learn a thing or two.

C ya soon!

Hey Mick, you do driving courses? or track days??

Sorry for being off topic...

I used to instruct advanced/defensive driver training courses and I used to do a hell of a lot of track days with different clubs etc.

Since I got my GTR I have done one track day at Winton too test set up and get myself used to the car. Getting a GTR fast is easy, getting it around really fast is not. My car needs new springs (on order in soon) and I need to retrain myself.

I have been speaking to a few guys I know who used to instruct with me or with other groups and we may get back into it soon.

Mick.

I have not done it but a few of the old crew like the John Bowe courses. Drive safe used to run a very nice course and I'll speak to a mate of mine regards Mircots now days. Used to be the best but they did loose a lot of really good personal. I think there is a real skyline freak there though now days which is always a bonus if someone is really interested in your cars.

If we ever get off our asses and start running courses again I will post it here. In the mean time do them all. With 400 rwkw no BS you need to really learn how to pedal it. That things is a serious tree hugger. You should be looking to build up and do motor sprot courses and get a Cams licence. The more time you put in on the track the better off you will be. If you get a track day that you can have passangers give me a yell. I'll meet you there and show you around.

Mick.

Calder Park.

Last friday of every month. You can do a few laps, just let the pass cars get about 3/4 of a lap in fron of you.

Problem is that you only get 3-4 laps, other slower cars are on the track and you catch up quick, real quick. But still fun.

Haven't been for a few months myself.

    • 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.
