Hey everyone,

OK, I dont have a Skyline but im a guest over from perth falcons. An Intruder if you like :P

I've heard from a good friend that out on your cruises, you've been to the infamous truck stop off of Albany Hwy and that you have had to deal with that menacing bloke in the big ute that comes to ruin your cruise.

Its happened to me and some mates (not on a falcon cruise) twice now out of the 3 times we've been there, and frankly its pissing us off.

Does anyone know who this bloke is??? What his problem is and why??

What gives him the right to break up a car meet? Does he own the area or something?

You're talking about Farmer Joe. My friend ran up to his F250 and started a convo with him once, apparently his real name is Santa... I'll ask her what he looks like.

From what I know, he lives behind the truck stop and comes down to try and chase us off. Only works in small groups, medium groups he'll drive around and make sure you're all behaving (course we are...) and with large groups he'll hide somewhere to watch for a while before going home. He's never called the cops to my knowledge though.

This thread is no place for valid and correct informed answers....now GTFO! :P

    • 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.
