Sorry to hear that Juliette. Hopefully the Lancer can fly the FWD flag for this round.

Hi Bec - really sorry, I'm not going to be able to make DECA full stop now. Just ran into an unexpected expense with the Skyline on top of all the work being carried out to the Pulsar so I'm too short of money.

Don't you have your sisters wedding or something?

yeh but i organised to go up with several mates, already booked the motel and as it turns out my sisters wedding has been delayed :down: so i can't not come to deca even if i can't drive.

and after my enjoyable hospital visit today (another lost 4 hours), i can't take the cast off until the 8th of April

if you want to spot me at deca, just look for the cripple !

I'm sending good vibes your way. Aside from the lack of money/driving ability, I doubt the car would even be finished by DECA at the rate parts are taking to arrive.

All vibes appreciated Juliette.

Interesting re parts, is that because of the age of them or that they are specialized bits?

If you guys want a lift up for the day trip, I'm sure I can fit at least two more in the Lancer, otherwise good luck getting your mechanical problem sorted.

All that's holding it up is a billet input shaft from Asia. It arrived today but it was 0.2mm out of spec and meant it was too tight a fit. Another is being air-freighted over, the gearbox has been up in Sydney for a couple of weeks getting built and the car's been sitting on a hoist up in the air for about 5 weeks with no gearbox, front interior, etc. Lets just say, the gearbox and manual conversion is worth a fair bit more than my car would be stock haha. It's all worth it. I'll PM you closer to the time Clive, would love to take you up on that offer :D

Woohoo, manual conversion. Way to go will be worth the wait.

Should have thought tho' we could have done a dual entry on the day rather than you pulling out.

Not that my "rb18det" scuse me using the acronym, would be much of a comparison but at least it's manual.

Thanks for the offer but my manual driving's not up to scratch. I'd just watch :thumbsup:

Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull out as well...

I hope to still come up and leech a few passenger seat runs from other friendly drivers :blink:

Ash, get your car fixed and gimme a lift up to shep!

haha but it might be fun being a passenger coming for a few spins with you and a few others :P also wouldn't mind going in a 33 GTR to see how they go as i'm currently in the market for one.

Also cant wait until sat night we gonna have a couple of fishbowls or what davo :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.
