Just made the phone call. Managed to bump the value up to $9360. That was their max. Cost an extra $44, well worth it. Quoted 1400 for full comp and still wouldn't budge on the max value.

 

 

So yeah, still best car under 10kemoji6.png

 

Dat Skyline tax, paid less than 1400 for my new STI & my old FPV! 

f**k you guys got it good.

 

Damn Gloria, import tax. I think next year im eligible for "65% shannons discount" but it still stands at 1200 or 1600 at the moment. 16k value. Was like $50 a year difference between stock and modifed.

ute went from 1500 to 300 by moving, no other change.

I didn't put a KM restriction as I actually thought I would be doing more km now things are further away. But it just makes you better at planning and doing bigger bunnings shops and such so doing less.

(super market and most food is within 1.5 km so works well)

 

I should buy my brothers 33 GTST that's been sitting outside the parents joint for the last 6 years rusting away.. 

I think it's missing an engine and exhaust only, he would have 30k in it and just looks like a heap of shit now ? 

Those poor advan TC3 wheels look like rusty shit too now :(

I remember doing driver instruction for him at I think Phillip island, (might have been sandown)

 

that thing had way too much power for the rubber on it.

Doesn't surprise me, remember it being a bit laggy and squirmy once coming on full boost! 

Saw Jasons R33 GTST the other day at Tuned meet, the thing looks pretty sweet all blacked out with the big CF wang.

Nice high mount hypergear turbo setup too

Was working on the gloria this weekend and man, motivation is just gone for cars. Everything is just not worth it. I would just take them somewhere for someone else to deal with, but even then... Lots of people dont do good jobs, good people are super busy and take ages or you need to book 4 months in advanced and im away with work so cant even drop the cars off at the workshops... I just need to finish them then only do maintenance.


Then if the pulsar breaks again ill get it transported to alaska for 4th july celebrations.

I need to rewire the whole loom, now that it’s running fine, but the effort required is too much.

Diff oil needs changing, dash cam needs installing, AFR gauge needs calibration, sound system to fit etc.

Never ending & weekend-time is becoming more valuable to be spent worrying about problems lol

Stag is still sitting in the garage with exhaust leaks and a few other things from Metec motorkhana... might get motivated again when the weather gets warmer. 

Got the same issue with the Subie, want to get a few things done at a shop.. 2 month minimum booking time, don't even know where or what I'll be doing for work next week so makes it hard to get it done! 

Nearly pulling the trigger on the new Work emotion T5R, apparently the lightest in the emotion range and love the 5 spoke design, multiple spoke / mesh rims can get f**ked too hard to clean!

At least with the subaru everything is bolt on available and the car hasnt changed much since 2011 lol.
Wheels are def next for it, not a fan of the oem ones. Just dont get gloss black please. Gonna keep the same diameter or reduce 1"? They look a bit rubber bandy at the moment

I have a solution for you, single spoke > 5 spokes for cleaning.

Yeh I dont think much since 2008 really lol

One issue is finding shops that tune Cobb, not as many as expected in Melbourne but the big subie shops all do it. 

I don't mind the OEM style, they're just sunk in the guards and hard to clean.. not a fan of spacers too. 
Going to increase 1" width.. stock 19x8.5 and what I'm looking at is 19x9.5 +35 not sure what offset stock is.
Then maybe just transfer the tyres to the new rims unless I can get a good deal on some Nitto Invos or something.

    • 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.
