Just got back from Melbourne. Left Adelaide at 4:10Pm yesturday arrived in melb at 5:30ish melb time. Picked up a 280rwkw supra with a mate and drove it back.

First road trip. Wasn't to bad :happy:

I like the trip between Adelaide/Melbourne - its not too long.

It was epicly fun driving back in the GTR... and kind of not at the same time(stiff suspension and loud exhaust with windows down made the right ear feel a bit funny after awhile), and surprising not too bad on the wallet - less than 2 tanks of fuel.

On the weekend I drove to and from bendigo, VIC in an R33 with coilovers and 300~rwkw and only wet through roughly 4 tanks of fuel including driving around bendigo and heathcote,

I wasn't a problem at all.

SOO my horns dont work now

press the horn button and all i get is clicking in the engine bay from the relay

ive replaced all the fuses to no success

so this would indicate that the horn has been shorted out

correct me!

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
