So the question is what colour best represents the personality behind the car? As a designer I can say to all those that think Red goes faster, buy a F1 and get some advertising stickers on and say "Enzo is sleepin tight thinking how much money Malbro has raised on that red car" Yes the red is the advertising aggressive colour of choice. Just like the woman in red. But the 80?s are gone mannnnnnnn. So there is a bit of a mind bending going on when thinking what represents you as the driver, best. Yellow, green, black and so on. Take it from the movies. ?Allways bet on black? Snipes . Not bad. So is the attitude of the driver important. Hell yes!!! So what makes you feal that the people will stare. You paint it. Well we all know what the R stands for.

Now to technicality. Dark colour loose form and give total blended appearance of shape. So that is why fat people don?t wear stripes??.

Mass and volume is best defined by shadow and dynamics in the body line. To get that you need light and some definitive body. So why paint the skyline white. The answer is the what captures light and is cheaper choice for the manufacturer. Some engineering heating ratio principles apply but why bore you to death. That?s what climate control is for ha J Body kit helps but Skyline doesn?t need it.

But to stand out of the crowd you will think of yourself first. The car second. Money prefirst. Fixing scratches down the line third. And subjective ****ers making comments like, ?why paint the engineering miracle in a herbal tea drinking feminine issues lime green for **** sake. Even the old lemon didn?t deserve that treatment. Keep it clean kids!!!

?Life sucks get a helmet?

    • 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.
