First Car: Tina - the Cortina (so original, I know)

Next: Laser the Amazer (guess what she was!)

After that: the Falcadore (what can I say - a company car)

And then: Saabie (not Japanese my name, but definitely by nature- zoom zoom)

Arriving Friday: Paris (aka the Z who always takes her top off)

So why are all my cars chicks?

Holden Commodore L (1980??) - was called cursed ( it was nothing but trouble, lost of engine trouble, we got hit in it 5-6 times i think. it finnaly got written off while we were going to gosford.

mitsubishi colt (1985) - lol my dad used to call it his little mercedes.used to jerk while going into 2nd gear on cold mornings. I bought some Shell helix Plus (green bottle), it stoped the jerking.

ford falcon ea (1990) - i call it jelly ( seems so soft it feels like it has jelly suspension.i hate it )

R31 Nissan skyline (1989) - I call it "the red car" (its red :P ) i remember looking for a used car with my dad after the commodore. It was bright red like the r31 GTS2s up on the steel ramp things you can get from super cheap auto. We bought it and have had it for 8 yrs now.

When we first had it you could hardly hear the engine running, it performed better than any commodore or falcon that we tried at the time.

Now it runs on HOT all day,Every day. needs a service badly. I think the thermostate is all rusted up and stuck closed. I might flush the radiator on the weekend.. arrgg might aswell throw the thing out and get one from the reckers. there must be so much shit in the cooling system. i bet the water is like liquid bronze.

arghh.. enough of my rambling

    • 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.
