agreed, love those events in a game...but in IRL, i dont think i'd have the balls to even try.

BOZ! did you get your car back yet?

and a simple spark plug question for one and all. the iridiums that are in my car are heat 6 gap 1.1. should i stick with this with the new plugs (prob just coppers)

or go down to a 0.8 gap? my 5000rpm+ stutter is getting worse :( just wondering if it might just be the gap?....or the distance driven with them in.

I'd take water over flipping and fire any day of the week. Unless you have a VERY difficult car to get out of I'd say your chances of survival are higher in a splashdown, more time to react. Both are terrifying situations however.

Upside down, on fire and in the water however...

The one that always has me on edge even watching are the crazy cliff drops on the outside of many European Tarmac rally's or events like Pikes Peak. That's a damn long way to fall with nothing but skill stopping you going over.

and on that topic. i just downloaded a Jeremy Clarkson DVD collection. the first one is Motorsport Mayhem from '99 and i just watched a corolla drive straight down a cliff and end up upside down in water.

No car yet but it must be actually done (or so close it doesn't matter) as Just Car contacted me to pay the excess. Once the payment clears I'm hoping she'll be back in my hands :)

On the topic of spark plugs, I gapped down to 0.8mm on my last spark plug change (about 10,000km ago, they are due for another change soon) and it helped no end. Once I get my baby back she'll be getting an oil change and new plugs straight up, i actually have a bit of space to work on her now, just need to actually buy some axel stands and a jack :P

How much boost you running bodo?

just stock boost, with the low boost bypass job.

copper sparkplugs, smaller gaps, and replace them while doing oil change. costs less than fancy plugs and does the job just fine.

yeah im gonna go coppers, the iridiums do save alot of time as the plugs aren't a 5 min job with standard pipe work, and 5000km was every second month the last few years (thankfully that is no more)

the 6 heat range should be fine then i assume?

Anybody aware of any cheap standard skyline seats for sale? Need some till my fixed back gets here

i got a set of 34 seats cheap at a place called the Panel house in slacks creek, they had all types and sizes there for relatively cheap. my clean pair of 34 seats only cost me about $150

    • 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.
