Was down at Bobbin Head last night - Sinking a few beers with some friends - Chucked a line in about 10:00pm - No bites at all.... We were there for ages

So we decided to pack it in and go to Narrabeen, just under the bridge there where the wall of granite rocks is.

So it was about 2:00am and were we all pretty bored - and then, one of my mates gets this massive bite ! We all thought he was just shitting with us cause we all had no bites at all thru the night. Anyway, he starts pulling this fish in - it was only a small one - but since it was the only catch of the night we all gathered round to watch. We were wondering what it was....

So I get the torch out - and shine on the line so we could see the the hell was going on - And just after I shone the torch on the water/line - this BIG muthafarker shark jumps out of the water and latches itself onto the fish my mate had caught.

My mate had a 2 metre wire trace on the line - so the shark got hooked too - it wasn't able to break the line and becuase of the size of the hook (large) , when my mate jagged the rod back, the shark stuck to the line.

This shark must have been a good 40-50 kg and was thrashing about - I think it came out of the water once or twice - It may even have been a hammer-head - but it was hard to tell in the darkness.

My mate was dragged into the water - he is only a little guy - he is Indonesian you see - not much weight behind him.... So I take over the rod to see if I could bring the shark in. But it too much the shark is very powerful. I was there for a good 15 minutes - feeding line out - Just as I thought that the shark was weakening, I decide to reel it in.

It took me another 20 minutes to get the shark about 5-10 metres from the shore. He put up a damn good fight. At that point I knew I had the bastard.

I turned around to my mate to ask him to help me out getting this big thing out of the water - I must have let my concentration lapse because the next minute I was in the water....

I was shitting myself I let go of the rod and tried to get back to the beach - But the fishing line wrapped around my leg and U was getting dragged out - I took off my shoe and the line let go - The rod and the shark were gone.

I lost one of my Brooks sneakers in the thrashing about - They cost me $270 for the pair - I was so pissed off.

I struggeld to shore and found my mate talking to a park ranger - WTF ?? - he was trying to explain our story - Apparently the Ranger was asking for our fishing licenses.

I said "No problem, here's mine" - I went to get my wallet out (it has my Fishing license in it all the time) - But my wallet wasn't there - It must have come out of my pocket when I was fighting the shark.

I told the park ranger this - but she didn't beleive me. So now I have to go to court.

So much for my fishing adventure - the Ranger says I will never be allowed to use my rod again.....

Oh well - her loss :P

Damn.....

i live 2 km from bobbin head and love that drive.... i want to block it off and time trail throu there,

i have seen sharks at apple tree bay.... they shut it off one day so ppl could get rid of them.

they come into the small bay when they are sick or giving birth...

it is nuts...

anyway we should do a time trail throu that.

cos there is only an entyry and exit. so if we could control that it would work a treat...

I dont think so, we do not endorse or condone illegally blocking off a road to do "time trials"

...

time trial ...

yea baby

:P

I'd love to do a time trial but I'd want the cooperation of the authority owning the road first :D

Maybe we can suggest this to the East Coast Rally people ?? They seem to be able to get certain Roads Blocked off - legally.

Costs you $5,000 to enter though......

Why not, it worked in the fast and the furious?

C'mon, you just don't wan't to be in it cause you havn't got a motec exhaust.

I'd do it but only if we can have really hot chicks there to offer themselves as prizes.

ps :jk:

pps. The drive down to Bobin Head is very bumpy at the bottom anyway, not good unless you have rally spec suspension... Save it for the track lads. :P

      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.
