ive seen it in Street Machine mag not that long ago..... the amount of work that goes into a classic car is , to most, un comprehendable. owning the torana i had was a very good lesson, i sold it in fear of a) it going missing, b) getting hit by some one and c) worrying about it all the time. un like a lot of newer cars, you cant go to a shop and pick up panels easily, most need custom work to fit and others are not available.

now owning a skyline i tend not to worry if i leave it some where, coz at the end of the day it can be replaced. :P

yeah I wish I kept my R/T 6 Pack Hemi Pacer and restored it....very rare now.

Paid $1700 for it when it was just 3 years old

Customline 9" rear end, triple webers and bored out to take 327ci Chev Pistons.

Hmmm, memories :P

I even had a handicapped run against the old famous Shotgun (only the oldies would remember that wheel standing Ford) back in the day when you were allowed to run up against the Pro Stockers.

Hey i remember SHOWGUN i haven't heard that name in awhile .

You is from the old skool Pete :P now sign the petition please *flutters eyelids* http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/...australia.html

I have a GTR and worked hard to get it..I am not stuck up and I love the feel of it..For me they are a "unicorn" :( I just dont like bulls**t, people shouldn't think they have to talk it up to think you will listen and think you're cool..

I have met all sorts in the car community..I don't care what you have I will still talk to you. I am a big fan and just love motorsport!!

P.s I do kind of get annoyed at the BS that boys like to talk to girls at times as some think that girls don't know anything about the car they own, I am polite but after think "that was a waste of my time" :O

Hey i remember SHOWGUN i haven't heard that name in awhile .

It was definitely SHOTGUN Shane............a Ford XB Coupe Pro Stocker owned by Kevin and Greg Flaherty.

Greg died almost 20 years ago and his missus used to frequent one of the pubs where I used to do security back in the day.

greg flaherty

gee thats a name i havent heard for a few yrs was killed comming back from interstate bringing back a new sprintcar or parts from memeory killed with one of the francombe girls . i remember standing on the infield at speedway park for a minutes silence when that happened . damm times go by too fast

na Pete there was a R33 getting around with SHOWGUN plates

lol steve, the R32 wasn't even invented yet when SHOTGUN was famous, let alone the R33!

Correct.........and I think his missus name was Tarrin

i try and acknowledge all skylines.. usually get snobbed by 33s, n 34s coz they think there beta..

i always hav a look coz ther all different, sum new 2 look at everytime..

n id much rutha ackowledge a skyline ova a datsun or sumfing.

i was thinking about this the other day, if i see any skyline, any at all, ill drive past and wave. usually get nothing in return!i also wave at any import just a casual thumbs up or a wave, shows almost a rep for sharing the same interests! think it should be an import code of practice to share a wave, acknowledgement! generally speaking you dont know what someone has under their bonnet be it a gtst, ex. again chad, stock looking 32, gtst bonnet, no signs of gts4, with an rb26 under it! respect other people i say and life would be a better place! end rant

...respect other people i say and life would be a better place! end rant

that can be said across the board for anything when you let a car into peak traffic it gets returned to you later, if everyone calmed down when driving and let a commodore in sometimes we will all get there safely and not have to boil the blood

yea but there still is the image of all import drivers being wanks, as we import drivers think most commodore drivers are wanks! so its a win loose battle, but getting off topic there, still i think rep another import and show some love, with awave or something

I had yet another commodore wanker come flying up my ass the other night, this time on mcintyre rd, changed into left lane and he followed me, then floored it around me. wtf is their problem? it happens alot.

    • 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.
