haven't found a 2jz starter yet, which isn't a problem, cos i haven't had time to get under the car again anyway, and won't until some time next week at the earliest... going straight from work to the motorplex today and there all day and night tomorrow, then up to yanchep with some local hot...

thats just weird... :) in an original jza70, you'll find it's the handbrake light....

oooo... will have a chat to a mate of mine who is putting one in his race car... i scored the water pump and stock turbos off it, water pump is on my car now.. he's probably using the starter, but on the off chance he's got another one to use, i'll ask him tomorrow night... :)

ok... i don't think the relay is going to help... just jacked the car up to do it and figured i'd check the voltages first... both wires to the starter (trigger and power) see full battery voltage when they should (ie, power all the time and trigger when key is turned to start) it's looking...

Thanks Aaron... this is both good and bad news for me... bad cos it means no easy fix with a relay... bad cos it means i'm probably looking at a new starter... car is a factory JZA70, battery is brand new (put it in yesterday to eliminate that possibility) 600cca AC Delco jobbie, fully...

yeah... it's the handbrake light, but if you're getting low on fluid, you should notice it flashing on launches while there's still enough fluid to be doing the job....

cherry bomb additive for methanol? there are a couple of conditioners available for methanol, one is a cherry scented one... a mate of mine uses it in her race car and swears by it, as it doesn't affect her eyes like raw methanol or methanol treated with other conditioners... but for my...

ok... tried a brand new, bigger battery last night... it made no difference... have just ordered a relay, wire and some terminals, so will give the relay mod a shot next time i'm under the car... wasn't really planning on jacking it up again, as it's just spent 12 months on stands... but i...

i used to just rock it back n forth in 3rd and it would fire up if it had been having issues....

thats what i thought... it's been cranking slowly when the engines hot since i got the car back on the road... but i let it cool from about 5:30 when i got there, till we left around midnight... so if it was temp related, it should have been ok...

so wednesday night i went to the motorplex as usual, took the supra cos i could... it started fine on the way to work in the morning, and again after work... then when i got to the track, i turned it off to sign in, and it wouldn't crank again... just cranked slowly and then stopped... i got it...

second one is still there.. first one didn't show for me either, but just search for bill number AB 1176 - it's basically a tax bill, to restructure a few things financially around SF and increase revenue...

Thanks :)

man.. another slow day at work.... just counting the days till the next race meeting... then counting the days till we can f**k off outta here to Cali again... man, i'm tired of counting...

ok.. so i was a little off... have just finished uploading the full album of shots, and the total is 1720.... http://www.highoctanephotos.com/drags0910/thumbnails/album=14.html

haha... welcome back :)

Just a link to some photos I've put up from the opening round at my local drag strip.. The meet also included a round of the ANDRA Pro Series Pro Stock Championship.... http://www.highoctanephotos.com/previews/2009_Pro_Stock I took almost 2500 photos on the day and the preview version has...

Another update: re-calibrated the Innovate LC-1 last night (I'd lost my cable and the sensor had lost it's calibration, so was guessing a bit with the tune...) - turns out I was very close with the idle mix, just a little rich, and over the rest was mostly rich, about 11:1 - 13:1.. So have made...

And I have a couple of photos up from the day here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/highoctanephotos/sets/72157622533894363/ only a couple, and there's a few of my car cos i was pretty happy to be able to drive it today.... although i now need to take it back off the road to sort a few more issues...

i went for 6-9k... i do about 4000 miles just to go to work and back, and probably about that much again when you add in all the stuff on weekends and nights... if a car of mine is running, it's a daily driver... for over a year, that was the f250 ambo, which gets about 9mpg, the supra is in...
