I finally started the other week, got all the parts for the hot side and done some of the fabbing. Tho I need two new flanges... unless someone can cut me a bigger hole in a flange I have? I killed one hole saw on the weekend re cutting one flange :P

I still call that lucky ;) Life is about a shit load of perspiration with a dash of luck to make it all work out! I'm actually still working my way to getting a decent amount of cash for my out of hours illustration work, but alas so far its mostly a love job! On the up side I may have the...

Ah nice one. You are one lucky fka, livin the dream. BTW do you do any arty car photography or is it all more event focus? Dan; prove it! update! ;)

bonneville? I thought that was October? Cos me and my partner were looking at heading over for the month of october for the shows and bonneville salt flats... some rodders mag had a 'travel' deal on with flights hotels and hire car to do the whole october run.

What doing in the US? October is the time to be in the states, heaps of good rodder shows events etc inc the salt flats ;)

No holidays sucks, I needed some time off for some RnR ;) Not that I actually rested much tho, working on car stuff and drawing for an exhibition. I was actually over in perth mid december for a wedding. We were planing to head to the drags on the saturday night (wedding was friday), thought I...

This thread blows :P Anyone else been working on their supra's over the holidays? Been good weather for it, not too hot, not too cool.

Merry xmas be-yatches an happy new year and or supra ;) Gave the shed a tidy today and started to potter on some shit, looking forward to cracking into the supra again

Finally got some parts in the mail last night. Although one package looked like aust post had torn it open looking for money. Useless wanks. Stuff from SS should be sent out soon if it hasn't already... had to cancel one item 'cos of it being on back order tho. good thing I'v decided not to rush. :P

Yup was referring to my pics, not my mug :P Glad to here the T is copping a beating! I think wearing it while working on the supra is most appropriate. NFW am I bothering with a build thread again. 'Sides build threads are for loosers ;)

Fuckin Aye! 'Sides I make with the prettys, not the words. :D

Build threads are for loosers! :P

Did you have any luck scoring a 2J starter?

Bugger, but to be honest its not THAT bad of a job. Just make sure you do it on a day your in a patient mood. IIRC it was just tight confines so a lot of 5 deg spannering. Refitting the oil lines on the stock turbos was more of a bitch, but then I'd bent them just enough to not line up any more...

Oh ok, I get ya. I assumed it was the same as old sckoolers, which is essentially as you described it any way, power directly to the starter with the ignition bridging the connection. Good idea then.

I've never understood the relay mod. Should look into it, but I just thought its was a powered switch? How will that help the starter?

Or next time it happens, try the 'bash with a broomstick' trick.

Have you got a spare to sling on and try? It's a pretty quick n easy job and worth doing even if it is only a 'just in case' scenario. I was half sure it was a starter on mine a while back, changed it over and it was like a new car afterward. Well not quite but you know... Just walked back in...

Perhaps its the temperature playing havoc with the starter? Was it an extra hot evening?

yup have previously, no reply. Although he may have followed it up for me as I got my one and only reply after sending the same email to him and Jack. I'll shoot out another email tomorrow. Just got home and I'm wrecked.
