You'd be suprised. Last year at OP South someone brought a $200 VP wagon (or similar) along to the track and did considerably better than alot of the Skylines on the day.

Then again, the gearbox was leaking oil and large chunks of metal at the end of the day :thumbsup:

I picked this body up for less. My old man had it, it's been in the family for a few years. He told me "if you can fix it up and register it, it's yours". Now I'm getting another car for that, and the vl will be a track car.

A previous owner ran the gearbox without any fluids (amazingly it still works), then it was passed on to my father, who has broken basically every car on the indestructible list. How it's still alive I have no idea, in such good condition I have even less of a clue. All I know is that something will break when I race it, just don't know what yet. Luckily, 99% of this car will be getting replaced anyway.

I have a small bitch.

Last track day at Oran Park I paid my $140.00 and couldn't make it. I'm now in a race to get the car finished, so can I get on the list temporarily till I know more.

Cheers,

Dennis

It's July, in wakefield. Being a FREEZING day is one thing that can be offered with a money back guarantee! :laugh: Means cooler breaks and engines though. And Cooler tyres. ;p

Well I made progress and the Skylines is ready for tuning now, But I still need a gearbox, and no 3rd gear at Wakie would suck I recon. :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.
