G'day, Shane, Chad, Martin, Matty, Brendan, Ryan, Steve, Vu, Krishy, lads, many thanks for all your kind words.

The article turned out really well, a few minor technical spec's and details lost in translation but all in all it turned out better than I could have hoped for. In all honesty, the thanks goes to Guy Bowden, Jason Round and the writer - who's name escapes me at the moment.

And Shane, mate I have not forgotten my EH trophy, not at all ! I've been trying to get some spare time to head down to the workshop (assuming it's still there and they haven't got sick of it gathering dust :)) for the last couple of months. I'm hoping I can get away from work early tomorrow and will head that way in an effort to pick it up.

If any of you are heading down to the Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally, I'll be marshalling at the Myponga stage on Saturday morning - don't you just love 5am starts. If you are down that way be sure to say g'day.

Hey mate,

Thanks. I popped into the shop a month or so back and saw your beast there, the other beast that is. Hopefully it's finished sooner rather than later mate.

Not yet. I just went with a basic upgrade, slotted rotors, pads, lines etc. Down the track a bit I'll put aside some dollars and when I do, it will be a set-up like you have access to that I will go for!

How is 34 coming along?

Hey stranger, not seen you for long time! Saw you at meet for 6am cruise but thought you were coming

so could catch up later, oh well, next time. Got all your wheel nuts on tight now? ha ha......

Good to see some of the original members still on here, you are one of the rare few who joined before me!

Cheers, John

Well im waiting for the Supra to be finished bloody picked it up around christmas, took it back for 30 psi tune and we found out the head had broken springs and stuff. So when that one is finished the 34 can get the necessary cooling system and engine rebuild done.

But yeh when your ready man on the brakes, i gotta say i have no complaints about them whatsoever, and the Supra will be getting the same package, i also have knowledge that my set came out of the same factory that builds the Patented Greddy Grex package.

    • @Supernanoyour car has ended up in my hands and I was wondering if there has been any work done to the motor?  
    • Sigh... yeah OEM mount rear battery, very R33, very demure, very mindful.
    • Would need a substantial current draw in the car to make a bunch of sparks. Obvs to now test resistance to ground of the car's B+ lead. If there's a short there, you'll see it. Only likely place for that, as you suspect is alternator. But there is also the possibility that rats have had a chew on some insulation. Shitbox has the battery in the boot, yeah? Plenty of cable to attack.
    • Oh, I thought of that too... I disconnected the battery and hooked up the leads direct to the car without the battery in place. Sparks... I suspect the following: Alternator has decided to kill itself Starter has decided to kill itself I'll recharge the battery, then unplug both, and go from there. The above might take 6 months - however I did buy a Victron 15 AMP trickle charger, apparently it's better than CTEK? Amazon, delivery by tonight. https://www.amazon.com.au/Victron-Battery-Charger-15-Amp-waterproof/dp/B07P4LMMMD?ref_=ast_sto_dp
