Yeah Frank's is a great guy! Know him for years, is a friend of my friend. They have a yard in Cannington near William St and now a new place in Vic Park.

He helped me out looking for a car, was looking at a black Toyota Chaser Tourer V, but didn't have quiet enough spendoolies for it!!

Anyway got a better car now!! Go the Line!!!

Dan, we bought the car from the East, has been in the country for a while.

In fact it was the 2nd one in and was on the front cover of HPI no9

Car has reciepts for $15K of engine work plus a LOT of money spent on handling( DMS suspension etc) and laps the Qld tracks quicker than Porsches on club days.

Lets just say the price was under $85K sitting at his house..

Cheers

saw that - thought the guy was a total prat.. burnouts to display the handling on a GTR?

Don't tell me you wouldn't if you had the chance :)

Tolley drives rally cars, I think he maybe doesn't feel at home unless there is some sort of wheel spin :)

Tolley has done a couple of segements on pauls car. One of the guys from DriveTime TV is a friend of pauls.

But yes seeing your future car on TV with someone thrashing ze crap out of it would make me think twice about buying it - especially if you are going to fork out big dollars for a car.

Exactly Niz

He has little respect for a car that will become someones pride and joy one day after shelling out a considerable amount of money.

I didn't see the tv thingo. If he didn't stand on it till the tyres blew up then I reckon thats hardly thrashing it, I'm guessing the car didn't even do a good burnout.

But as often as I hear the comments about how people "wouldn't buy that car because I saw the owner do a burnout...." I am reminded of how we can all be quite hypocritical in this situation. I've caught myself a few times. I sold a gtst that on top of going to the drags (worse than a burnout) ran a nitrous kit that I used. The owner knew about what I did to the car and dispite the abuse it was in great nik.

R34,

I think you could have said the same about the dearly departed 'buffy' before mike bought it. What was the nick name again buffy the comodore slayer? :rant: Mik ended up buying a great car, granted it would have been better value if an old granny had owned it but, not by much. Skylines can take it without stressing too much.

The tv coverage is great for any prospective owner, since it was seen by so many people there is no mistaking the kind of activities this car was made and used for when the owner comes to making a decision of purchase. I think a video record of a cars life is a great idea. What would your cars video be rated? G for general veiwing or MA for mature audiences only? :rofl:

R34,

Couple of points there mate.

I was referring to doing a burnout in a car.

I'm not a fan of burnouts as I feel they are too hard on a car requiring no special driver skill.

But hey if your into that fine and if you own the car and have paid for it you've earned the right to I guess. My objection was to "borrowing" a $80k plus vehicle and caning the ring out of it.

Having said that I've never subjected any car I care about to a burnout (ie Buffy the V8 slayer) but have enjoyed taking a car to it's and my own limits.That's enjoying a car as the designer intended.

Secondly if an old Granny had owned the car instead of me it would be minus the gear that was included with the car. It may not have been serviced regularly by granny either who knows. Most people here would rather a lightly modded car with some fruit on it over a stocker I guess. Depends on how you define good value.

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      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.
