Thanks everyone, looking back at what I had planned I am really really happy with how it turned out, credit to Planned Signs at Minto who took this project as seriously as I did and make sure it was perfect. Looking at photos of the original car and models I think it's about as close I could get it to the original and I'm stoked

You coming trackday next month??

Doesn't look like it. Need some work done on the diff and gearbox. This is only the beginning :yes:

Was a nice car....now a very COOL car. Love the final touches...copies of period race cars often run the risk of being try hard BS shitboxes. Your's looks tough!

I know exactly what you mean. Most of the other replicas of his car I've seen looked like shit. A little attention to detail and a lot of assistance from some helpful people (especially from SAU) goes a long way!

Thanks again everyone who commented and pitched in with photos and logos and stuff. You guys are alright ;)

Hey guys, after a set of rear bumper lights like these:

post-21158-1283689789.jpg

anyone got some spares laying about?

I'm currently contacting places trying to find a brand new set. will let you know if i have any luck.

Just got the car back from Award. Had the gearbox reco'd and replaced all the synchros, modded the transfer case and shimmed the rear diff with Nismo plates.

Diff feels super aggressive and awesome just putting it on the trailer, should make a big difference. Here she is hanging out the front of Award. These guys have done a really great job at an awesome price. Terry knows about GTR diffs and gearboxes, I wouldn't take it anywhere else.

Was at Trackday Club on the weekend and had a shocker. Missed the first two sessions f**king around with the catch can, went out and bent the HICAS lock bar, said f**k it and went out again lost boost pressure so we packed up and went home. Also couldn't get the motherf**king shift-i to work. Not a good day.

At least the car looks good

    • 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.
