Just got back from Melbourne. Left Adelaide at 4:10Pm yesturday arrived in melb at 5:30ish melb time. Picked up a 280rwkw supra with a mate and drove it back.

First road trip. Wasn't to bad :happy:

I like the trip between Adelaide/Melbourne - its not too long.

It was epicly fun driving back in the GTR... and kind of not at the same time(stiff suspension and loud exhaust with windows down made the right ear feel a bit funny after awhile), and surprising not too bad on the wallet - less than 2 tanks of fuel.

On the weekend I drove to and from bendigo, VIC in an R33 with coilovers and 300~rwkw and only wet through roughly 4 tanks of fuel including driving around bendigo and heathcote,

I wasn't a problem at all.

SOO my horns dont work now

press the horn button and all i get is clicking in the engine bay from the relay

ive replaced all the fuses to no success

so this would indicate that the horn has been shorted out

correct me!

    • Clinton and I spoke to Alan Heaphy at length last year at the Bathurst 1000 about the Gibson GTR's that he had at the track and the restoration work that his company was involved with. He has a number of people working for him who were part of Gibson Motorsport when these cars were being built and raced. What impressed me the most was the amount of first hand knowledge and information that he and his team have about the Gibson GTR's and their meticulous attention to detail in the restoration and maintenance of these cars.
    • When you track RPM vs time it's clean, unlike the OEM one, even with filtering there are ripples. Means no random misfires or triggering issues at higher RPM, especially if you have big lift cams and a noisier valve train due to heavier springs.
    • Brake Fluid testers are cheap and readily available....eg https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/endeavour-brake-fluid-tester-rechargeable/SPO9539349.html
    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
