A heap of us heading down to the Mt Alma Mile this Saturday. Anyone keen to cruise down together I propose we meet at somewhere like Castle Plaza 9am? Thoughts?

SAU guys running include:

Josh Boag

Andrew Migas

Jenkies (assuming his car is 100% together)

A few other Skyline guys will be there including:

Luke Bosman

Hayden Buckingham

And a ton of other Skylines (including quite a few R35GTRs I believe).

And of course the Willall lads will have their R35GTR WR1000 and the WR86 there too.

Should be an awesome day!

Hey gdawg, which 32 were you? Was in the gold 32 GT-r (dads). First time there myself, was hanging with Mark (Jenkies) and a few mates. Agreed, going back down after the first run really show's you how steep the track is.

Did see Migas out, did you know if it was his car or another white 33 that was on the flat bed truck? Noticed it on the way down. And regarding the black 35gtr not sure, but there was abit of smoke coming out from under the engine bay when it passed us at the top on the flat-bed truck - not sure what though, no physical damage external damage.

Will be back out there tomorrow!

Apparently the black GTR did some decent damage putting a piston through block. Well, that's what I was told.

Had a great event with no dramas besides exhaust temp sensor working itself loose. Managed a 54.something with pretty minor mods and hifly rear shitty as tyres.

I was the slow white 32 with cable tied bumper haha. Was next to your dad cause I had a chat with him.

Well wouldn't say 54 with those mods, tyre spin was all that slow :) Definitely remember the car as think your mate had the read soarer? Was great weather for it!

Cheers for the head's up on the 35, definitely not good lasting half a run :/ Them's the brakes...

Our black R35 GTR still runs fine guys. We started it up and ran it for a bit when it came down the bottom. It did however overheat very quickly on the second run and blew the coolant out the overflow. More investigation required here, but mechanically its still in one piece. The commentators get a little excited at times up there :)

Ive had the plain silver 32 GTR, was parked up with the scooby doo club near the toilets most of the weekend

Love how steep it is, holds the gears for ages (highlighting my lack of grunt)

Great event, just dont have the balls f steel that some ppl do :)

Well done to Jenkies, first time out also... that car has the grunt to contend with the big boys based on first split tiems and speed, just need aome avons and a couple more sighting runs

    • 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.
