If its the one I'm thinking of, its a candy apple red colour. Has a GTR front grille and Veilside style front bar. The guy lives just off Grand Junction Road so probably the same car. He has had it for sale for ages.

there is a yellow r33 goin around my area athelstone. Also a blue r32 with licence plate CHUNKY also in athelstone. Ill list more when i come to think of them.

CHUNKY plays on the same footy team I did. Matt is his name.

I seen the yellow series I around there too, but havent seen you too much Dean?

Most drag car's auto?.. i hope you dont mean Imports, if so can i have what you are smoking?

If you are however talking local old school tubbed v8's and the like then yes alot are but its not your run of the mill auto (Insert: talk to Munro here).

No, when I referred to most drag cars I meant as a whole. "Usually" they choose auto as the reliability and accuracy is better.

Less clutch frying and human error (slow gear changes etc).

This morning on the way to work I saw a nice white GTR R33. Black carbon fibre bonnet.

Looked very nice indeed.

Actually i kinda agree, F1s use auto upshifting and some even auto downshifting.

less room for human error.

nooot exactly dragging but still racing.

    • 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.
