Tiny update. Finally getting off my arse and organising things. Motorkhana is next weekend so I'm pretty keen for that. I have also paid entry for the Wakefield matsuri weekend (3rd/4th May) so need to make sure everything is fine for that. If anyone is there and sees me come say hi :)

Bought a Buddyclub water temp sensor adaptor and fitted that the other night. Gotta run the cable for the sensors through the firewall but I plugged them in to make sure all work working.

Also started gathering my wheels for matsuri, pulled my stockies out of the garage they were in and borrowed some rims from a mate. Got a couple of spare tyres to chuck on and I'll be buying new tyres for the rest from my local guy.1623628_10153989372895274_40423448432547

Hey Timmy, if you ever get the chance, I'd be interested to know how the readings on those Defi's compare to the readings the ECU gets? I've got 3 different water temp sensors and 3 different boost gauges, and every single one of them tells me something different :laugh:

Haha no worries, once I've got it all hooked up properly I'll compare and let you know :)

So I was entered in the annual Toyota Nationals motorkhana yesterday that is in Dubbo. Gotta show them Toyota's up ;P

Will have more pics and vids later but here is one of my final runs. Spun out and just decided to give the spectators a nice display of smoke :)

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?
