I have driven a 350z and and an r34 gtr. The 350z does not impress anyone more, trust me.

My point is, why do Jap car manufactureres make european styled cars to have to sell more cars? I thought they where all ready doing pretty good making jap styled cars.

Not trying to be smart with this question but what defines a Jap-styled car (as opposed to Euro styled)?

I think the styling of cars went downhill after the KA laser. I mean whats with the KB? Those front lights just look all soft, as if the owner is a little old lady using a cheap, economical shopping trolley of a car to get the milk and bread from the corner store instead of the sporty, high performance car the KA was.

I'll agree the supras are looking a little dated, but I dont think very many cars look good from factory ... Add a mild bodykit, some lowering and a set of nice wheels and the supra is very tops. More so than most cars with the same mods I guess is what I'm trying to say. Urgh, personal taste I guess.

Also the new minis are damn fat (not phat) compared to the old minis. I saw one parked next to an old mini about a week ago and you dont realise just how huge the new minis are until you see them next to an old mini. Like literally double the size (note: hyperbole).

Anyway, even I dont know what point I was trying to make when I started typing this.

supra may be looking a little dated, it still manages to turn so many heads though. They still look a helluva lot better than a lot of cars on the road that you see everyday.

The KA laser was the end of the ultra high performance laser range. They went mainstream with the KB. Nothing beats the pushed-into-the-back-of-your-seat demon acceleration of the KA, dont even get me started on the torque of those cars.............. lol ;)

    • 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.
