Hello from a wet morning in Scotland.

Been a Skyline owner for about three and a half years now after importing one directly from Japan with less than 6,000 miles on the clock. It's a 40th anniversary edition R33 GTSt automatic, with very few mods;

Ohlins suspension

K&N panel filter

Powerflow cat -back exhaust

Nismo strut brace

American Racing Torq Thrust M Alloys Fronts: 17 x 8 ET 30, Rears: 17 x 9 ET 45.

It's my daily driver, so wears a few battle scars. Which, one day I'll get to sorting out, but for the moment I'll just keep adding miles to her.

I use to love driving my R33, but since developing a fault with the auto box, it's now driving me nuts. To make matters worse, I know where the fault lies, but I can't get hold of the part, so I'll be giving MV Automatics a call tonight (morning for you guys). I hear you highly recommend them for auto box work and advice.

Let's hope they can help me too.

See you on the forum thumbsup.gif

In the meantime here's a few pics of my baby:

    • 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.
