So where are the pics of you Batsuman and Tarzan dude? :)

A highlight of the day was of course the drive...me not waking up on time and thus rushing to the event. Nothing like cold fresh mountain air - boost cruziiiiing :).

I stayed on 140 most of the way over, but with so many GT cars travelling together on the highway it was just too hard to stay under :). Justin had a bit of fun with a black Altezza ;)...so much that he miss the exit!

----

Me: what's he doing? we've got to exit!

Glenn: (funny fark counting down towards the exit) 500m, 400m, 300m, 200m, 100m...

Me: (fiddling with the mobile trying to call Justin, but at the speed we were crusing at, the exit came and gone before I could even dial), dude we missed the exit.

Justin: we did!

Me: OK next exit is Mimasaka.

Disclaimer: driving at high speeds and trying to operate a mobile is not recommended by untrained professionals.

On the way back it was painfully slow the last 15km due to roadworks...curse them for working on a Sunday night argh!

The Hakusuka was by far the main highlights of the day for me...f**k me dead they are so beautiful and so many of them. I'm sure Glenn will agree, the majority of our photos are KPCG10!

I'll have my pics up later in the day or tonight...

Yes very disappointing there weren't many RQs :D I guess it was just too cold...

Yes, the drive there was half the fun! I'm glad I could cruise out there with you Troy... seeing as it'll probably be the last time down the Chugoku expressway for you. Nice drive.

And I gotta say: Damn! Those old Skool Skylines RULE! :(

Dave, the Hakusoka are the goods mate...never will I see so many in the one place at the one time.

My favourite also are the March Cup cars...but unfortunately we missed the race. The cars were driven by many big time drivers. With all the cars the same power, it was only skill that can help them win the race!

Wow Rezz those pictures are amazing, glad to see you snapped a variety of cars that most can only ever dream of seeing, the HKS ZERO R and Tomica DR30 come to mind.

Great pictures mate.

also I see you met Raman Yamada, from what i have been told he is quite a character :(

Raman?!?! Yamada

Eiji Yamada you mean, yes he is a real character also met him at OAM ... Tarzan may know how to swing from tree to tree, Tarzan can drive like no other, but Tarzan know NO how to drift a work trolley :(:).

Exculsive pics ;) after closing at OAM!

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
