Hey,

This is a bit of a random rant, but my dad bought me a copy of a Japanese publication called SKYLINE GT-R No. 3 (from what I can tell it's published by the company Hyper Rev or something along those lines).

I wish I could remember the Japanese I learnt at school! It's got so much good stuff in it. Profiles on all of the major tuning companies GTRs, a fairly comprehensive wheels section (each modelled on a lovely R34), as well as entire sections of car hardware grouped into relevant catergories.

I was wondering if there is any sort of English equivalent to this? Basically its like a magazine, but has heaps and heaps of information about Skylines! It's a great magazine (even if I can only look at the pictures), and I certainly have an idea of what wheels to get for my car now. I still wish I could understand the content though! I've forgotten most of the kanji and hiragana now :D Almost compells me to pull out my Japanese school books again :D

Oh and also on a totally unrelated matter, I just got 2 20cm Nismo stickers which I'm going to use one above my front left headlight (see PranKs GTR for reference). Does anyone know if I should do anything before applying the sticker, other than the obvious point of making sure its clean around that area (I have to wash my car - it's filthy!)

Cheers

For the sticker: use "Prepsol", it dissolves any wax and other stuff like that giving you a perfectly clean surface. It's what the pros use.

Hyper Rev issues: Yep, definately got yourself a good publication there. I won't argue with you, you get SOOOOOO much more out of... well... everything Japanese orientated just by being able to read Japanese. I have both "Skyline 25GT/GTS-t" Hyper Rev issues (cheers Evo_Lee) and the Hyper Rev 1989 - 2002 GT-R Memorial issue. Bloody good stuff.

    • 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.
