Guys, thanks for being such a fantastic bunch of people to work with.  

Hope you all enjoyed the day.

Rianto is an absolute legend, he puts so much effort into organising these events.

Cheers Kev

A pleasure Kev.... ;) Looks like it's a great day for everyone...

Hope a good one on Sunday too!

Yeah, thanks Rianto and Kev - had a great time. But gees I needed a good sleep after it, I was buggered! :)

I'm looking forward to seeing other pics and videos of the event, so I'll keep my eyes open for that.

Yay for Geocities ... :)

I had an awesome day today. What a change of focus. Instead of losing some traction and trying to get back on line and in control it was about losing traction and maintaining control and line. Totally different to anything I have done previously and eventually achieving a full lap sidways with minimal steering input was a true challenge and a real blast.

Kevin is an absolutely awesome controller of a car, demonstrated by by getting into a totally new machine time and again and throwing it around like he drives it everyday. I remain impressed as hell. Once I would have looked at this sort of thing and thought "you want to drive the car sideways...why?" The truth is, there are not always perfect conditions and this is without a doubt an essential skill...just hope I don't need to use it.

It was an awesum time on sunday and coz there were only 5 of us there we got a bit extra time than the saturday guys i think. And boy was i stuffed when i got home also, and boy was the car full of dirt also ;)

I am just glad nothing on mine broke, coz that was the run in of my new turbo.

A couple of guys took some photos on sunday didnt they??

Was good fun but my advice to anyone wanting to do this that has a 4wd - make it 2wd before you go because its damn hard otherwise! ;)

Although you do get to learn just how much damn grip these GTR's have. OMG.

Just wanted to also say a quick thanks to Kev, your skill in getting into any car and making look like your own is trully admirable. I really enjoyed the day and thought that you had tons of patience especially for noobs like me... Ill try to stop saying sorry tho next time I spin out :Oops:

Rianto, your a legend indeed. That was some of the best fun Ive ever had in my car. Im sure that these are skills that will make me a safer driver on the road.

Enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing the beast aka E55 in action.

    • 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.
