Hey Guys, I feel partly responsible for this discussion (post 2). I guess I love to see all types of performance cars. Its the variety that makes it interesting.

With track day I let almost any car come, as my stipulation isn't a car type or model but on the character of the person. If your a nice person come along, if your a tool your not welcome. I guess this is a lot harder to control on an open forum.

Having said that I have nothing against car only / model only events, I was just curious about the sub division within the Skyline community. All us round tail lighters have to stick together I say :D

The WRX guys are the same, they have this great cruise they organise every few months that is Subaru only, they let me come along as they know me through track day etc. and I get a lot of comment/discussion about how interesting it is to see how a GTR runs in comparison.

I have a family these days so getting out with a good group of guys means more to me than what they drive. End ramble.

This is sad... why has it become such a big deal. We own an r32 gtst and an r33 gtst, so have not been able to go on either of the gtr cruises, but seeing as we are grown ups it didn't matter & we got the f*** over it! Personally, I don't see why people are getting upset at model specific cruises. If our model's included, we'll go, if not, we'll check out the pics upon your return!

Well the last "r34 cruise" i went to copped a bit which is why it was changed to "If you have an R34, make an effort to turn up because similar cars will be there but everyone can turn up if they want cruise"

Ellie.

I think you should cool down because for starters I read what you said a few times and i seem not to understand your Engarish. If i understood right I wasnt the one who started raising the tone of the language in the topic about people who can afford what. Really I dont know where affording a car comes into the equation and how there is cutting the "F**k stick factor", i mean what is the F**k stick factor. Care to explain that to the entire Skylines communitiy, im sure they will love to hear that haha.

I wish I could understand you reasoning because it sounds like something cool. And whats with the sticking up for others? Can they not speak for themselves, or are you some service they pay for? seriously? All i said about your post was "A bit steep there", and purely that was because your French was quite obvious.

If you want to brag about affording an R34, then go buy one and post your pictures and comments on the WASTELAND section, because i'm sure you will get some kiddies saying "Bro, thats fully sick", and that might bump up your ego.

Now i never pointed fingers at you, or Azzurra. If you read the lins correctly I said that Azzurra is doing the right things and organising the R32 Cruise. Here you come and say I'm a bad person.

Mate I'd love any cruise and for your sake i'll say it again, I think what Azzurra is doing is very good. Ok got that.

Now please get back on topic so I dont need to say this again for you to understand.

Good luck with your R32 cruise.

i saw this topic and went ahh cool...old school cruise....i dont see why people are flingin crap in the fan. if you dont have a 32 then get in one, but i see it as a place when other 32 owners can look at same model cars not newer ones. something of a nissan cruise but smaller really. your not going to miss out on much if you dont have one. so if you dont have one then dont worry. i dont see the point in tryin to make it bigger, if a 33 cruise comes around i wont be going in my 32. cause i dont really want to. I bought a 32 for a reason...and i am sure you all bought 33's for a reason, so BE COOL about it.

I am with MountainRunner!

"stipulation isn't a car type or model but on the character of the person" That's what I have learnt from some nice blokes I know recently. Though I am new in here, even a greenhand as a skyline owner. But I still get some respects from other nice skyliners, coz we'r all grown ups shares the same passion.

I treat this forum as a family, and really sad to see you guys going all against each other. I will always be up to a pleasant cruise with some nice ppl no matter what car they drive. ( I used to own a Deawoo and went on a cruise with my WRX friends, they still looked after me well, really appreciate that ) Just try to appreciate the car I have, and enjoy every cruise I can join. :)

Peace....

guys... guys... WHOA THERE NELLY!!!

i think you have all taken this the wrong way.... it was meant as a bit of a tongue in cheek stir at the previous 'model only' cruises... of course you're allowed to come if you have a stagea, or cefiro, or a 31, 33, or 34 as well, or even GTR's... the more the merrier... i was merely trying to point out the stupidity of having ;model specific; cruises, while at the same time, trying to drum up a bit of interest with the r32 boys and girls, as there never really seems to be that big of a turn out of them on cruises.....!

To a certian extent I agree with you, however why should a specfic model r32, r33, 34,gst-t or gtr cruise be considered stupidity?

If someone is thinking that the idea sux that is fine, I don't care and none of us should really care, please feel free not to show up to the event. Or if someone reads the topic title that says something like "calling all gtrs" and someone is thinking "what stupidity" please don't double click to view the thread-we wouldn't want someone to get offended while reading it.

It has been a laugh reading this and the other two threads.

AzzurrA if you are serious about your cruise you should post it up in the event section, I think you should be able to generate alot of interest for it. if you need any help with it feel free to ask (pm)!

What ever happen to the R32 cruise? did it go ahead?

No it was a joke... Well maby...

But it did start a series of events...

Well there we many vehicle specific cruises posted eariler in the year...

Many were taking the pi$$ and being silly about it...

    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
