In this day of Bathurst races featuring similar-looking cars with similar-looking drivers, I'd like to take the opportunity to congratulate Mark Skaife (one of the two guys responsible for me owning an R32 GT-R - the other one not being a fan of a 'pack of assholes') and Craig Lowndes on their win!

Cheers!

P.S. Mark, if you're reading this, where do I send you the bill for everything I have spent on my GT-R in the past couple of decades?

His old R32 (Burgandy) was at the R32 cruise in Sydney yesterday.

Talk about a clean car!

Its now onto its second owner and has 13000k's since new.

The lucky owner won an award for best concourse GTR

They were the guys I was going for too.

Skaife used to drive Nissans for Fred Gibson- Gazelle, R31, & R32.

Lowndes used to also drive for Fred Gibson.

Was also going for Courtney/Luff cause I did most of my driver training with young Luffy.

      S15 Spec R

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      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.
