jdm import car scene is slowly ending in my opinion. Seeing as majority are turbo and restricted from P-platers.

There is a move towards VW's/86's/euro cars which seem to be all the rage now amongst P-platers.

I'm okay with this - I was around the scene for that peak and ownership wise I got in on the tail end of the peak to enjoy at least a few years of it before big meets died off and before drift and stance culture faggotry came in.

There's a silver lining in it now; I get to enjoy rarity as opposed to a scene; people see my car and see something they don't get to see often or they assume I stole it and will kill a baby in a pram.

Look how popular VLs were in the day, they were everywhere and I didn't give them second looks, but now I study their condition if I see one on the road. Hoping the same happens for well kept Skylines, GTRs etc once they're all but written off. Who knows, some wealthy CEO might want to one day relive his youth and splash out on a car you can't buy easily anymore, not unlike the Aussie muscle cars from the 70s.

And it's time to change cars

black maloo?

took over 5 hours today to:

pick-up trailer in heidelberg

drive home, load up car on trailer

drop off car at workshop

drive to heidelberg and drop off trailer.

Traffic was stuffed on the eastern, roadworks everywhere around doncaster and then boozebuses blocking off lanes on maroondah hwy.

lesson learnt: just pay $100 for a tow truck.

surely it would cost more than $100? seems cheap.

    • 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.
