hey there guys. so far i have had 2 mangas try take me on. is it just because i am in a skyline and they are trying to proof something or is it because i am a P plater. tell me if you get these type of drivers that ride up your back side and when they over take you they slow down till you meet up to them agian and then they start reving it and taking off again. sorry to say i just had to pass this guy because i had to make a turn and this guy wouldnt let me so i just left this manga driver in the dust.

LoL..

I drive a Verada, Often confused with the budget Magna's

Ive got a few mods inc:

King Springs

K&N POD Filter

Cold Air Intake

Upgraded Fuel Rail

Exhaust system

18" rims

However unlike the rest of the Magna drivers I dont think my FWD Automatic luxury designed vehicle is a Skyline killer, Why? Well unlike most of them I understand that my car is no performace king, it was never designed to be and I like it the way it is, sure I have a few mods but even with these mods I dont go out and try and race / rev my car as I go past Skylines. ( unless its somebody in the club and we are having some safe fun on the roads :))

The thing that gets me is how so many magna drivers think they are hot $h1T, 99% of them have something to prove remember.. No doubt they see your car and feel threatened ( and so they should ) so they try and race past you or take you off at the lights. Why? Well god only knows why.. they cant beat you they should know that. And trust me its not worth your time/fuel/points draging them off at the lights.. just let them go, let them feel good about beating a Skyline.. gee Its a shock they can beat anything half the time.

Im not a one side person, Ive had Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru, Ford and Holden cars.. Im not biased anyway its just these damn people driving like idiots that grind my gears

Anyway..

Thats my 2c worth.

;)

hell just do what i do wait until theres a set of lights where you know theres a speed camera just up the road rev your engine a few times and then watch them loose their car for a weekend

trust me getting just one loser like this makes up for the fifty odd you ignored

hahah after reading this thread i was coming home from midland and this tool in a red magna that was lowered and was "fully sick" and to add they were all that low and far back in their seats hats sideways ahah, so im in the left lane of the high way and they think there pritty cool to interupt me from singin to my radio ...and decide to rev it next to me ahhahaha they became very small in my rear vision mirror very fast, and probly copped some nice rubber spray.. i thought i would slow right down to watch them pass me and laugh at them.. none of them looked and they all had their heads down.... faggots

i like all cars, and each to there own but it seems ALL magna drives are complete pin dicks and should give the keys back to mummy

I've niticed since owning a skyline, alot of people want to drag at the lights. I guess to try and prove their car is worthy? dunno.

its kinda funny to see the reverse role though, when my bros canary yellow '83 laser could keep up wtih an sti rex,. funny to see the face of the other drive hehe. Unfortuanly its now home to some 300 wasps and various spiders :domokun:

I find its best to just keep crusin until you hit a roundabout then follow these easy steps, bang it down to second, redline it through while hanging the rear end out, then check the mirrors to see the heavy front wheel drivers hit the skids.... :domokun: follow that up with a shit load of Leyton Hewitt "CMON'S" and your done for the night.

ps. guys he said manga not magna... i dont think it was a mis-spelling either cos he wrote it a couple of times...

Yeah I thought the same thing for a bit! thought "Oh some new terminology for something!" :domokun:

Actually I've had many Manga sorry Magna drivers do the same to me! one on Dianella drv speeds up and sits besides me, looks in, I laugh at him and he took off!

Some skyline drivers are behaving like hoons these days too. Recently, stopped at a traffic light next to a black R33 S2 skyline with a girl driver. Gave her the thumbs ups, and she ravved her engine and give me a Loser sign when i didn't do the same. Well... i think she wanted me to rev it back. Whatever for? Maybe she wanted to drag me? Aww come on, nice sunny afternoon, with shit loads of cars on the roads.

Oh wells.

well i must admit that i do exactly what is stated above in my magna. ONLY because no one suspects it has 207kW ATW. SO After i manage to get some traction, i blow them to bits.

The only reason that i do so is, that i hate when somene buys a skyline, puts a gtr badge on it and a bodykit, and thinks they are king shit and the fastest car out there.

IT nice to put them back in their place every now and then.

Sorry guys.

Is it just me or does every Lancer P platers in Perth want to drag at the lights. This happens alot when im driving my 5thgen lude which would just destroy them, but most of the time I just ignore them and sit back and laugh. Never really came across any magnas that want to prove something before.

and id lay you out in my grandads cressida?

then someone would lay me out in something quicker

whats your point.

p plater magna owners must really believe that v8 killer shit on tv. end of the day they still a shite car.

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • 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.
