I can only relate a story that came from the guy I bought my car off.

One day in sunny down town Campbelltown NSW (sorry Ben) a guy was standing beside the car for over an hour and when Brian got back to the car this guy said to him, "I know what it is, but it's different, but I can't see where" and when it was pointed out that it only had 2 doors, the guy sheepishly left the scene.

But I love the idea, the fact that all these dumass bastards that think they're the proverbial expert, (and we all know what an expert is) when it comes to cars.

I think it's quite amusing and look forward to the day when I can stick it up some of these young so called experts.

Pretty much every dickhead that comments on my car calls it a bloody R31.  If I'd wanted something softer I would have bought a GTS or GTS-X, but I went for the harder edged '30, but no-one seems to see the difference

Don't worry mate, I see the difference. One thing I get with my r31 is people coming up to my car complimenting it, then saying to me "this has got the VL engine in it doesn't it?" so I just turn on the car and let the wastegate open. It get's on my nerves after the first 20 times :)

Ben, yeah thank christ mine doesnt have the stickers :)

:Oops:

haha, I'm a bit of a ricer at heart. I've got the 24 valve ceramic turbo on the side of mine.

i'll be putting the gts-t badges on mine at some point just to confuse people even more, half the car is r32 anyway.

Which half Matt???

The RB20DET is from an R32, but the gearbox is identical to that in an HR31 and everything else is either a/mkt or DR/HR30.

Do you have a problem with the stock GT badges?

Whats broken now?

Nothing's broken on it, i just want it to be painted/straight again, and i was getting quotes to get my ecu/injectors/pump installed and ecu tuned and quotes on fixing my clutch....I hate cars :)

Josh can i ask what workshop that was son?????

Sorry guys, but this is the only sticker on the side of my car and the GT guard badges.

How much confusion can this create?

engine, brakes some s-13 bits with that too,master cylinder, booster, radiator and i think the tail sharft thats enough for me. Even though its a hr30, the dr front means i have the RS badges on mine :headspin:

AS A MATTER OF INTEREST

If they were readily available, how many would buy new badges from this range?

    • 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.
